Interlocking in Hespeler
Interlocking in Hespeler, from the mill-town streets along the Speed River to the subdivisions east of Hespeler Road and north toward the 401.
Hespeler grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, and the subdivisions east and north of the old village are full of paver driveways reaching the age where the base gives the game away. The call is usually the same: heaved at the garage, sunk where the cars sit, edges walking out, joints empty. The fix is the same too, and it is underneath. The other common Hespeler request is widening, because the lots are narrow and households have more cars than the original driveway was drawn for. That is exactly the situation the City of Cambridge's Access Permit governs: a drawing showing existing and proposed widths and the curb cut, a maximum driveway width of 7 metres, a minimum of 45 per cent of the lot kept as landscaped space, and no alteration to the City boulevard without Transportation Division approval. Parking on the front lawn is not permitted in Cambridge, so the widening is the legal answer and it has to fit the rules. If the driveway fronts Hespeler Road, that is a Regional road and the Region of Waterloo is the permit authority. The old village core along Queen Street and the river is a different job: older walkways on settled ground, slopes down toward the Speed that want a low wall or a drain, and lots near the river that may sit in a conservation authority regulated area.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to work in Ayr or out past Blair?
No. Ayr, Blair and the surrounding countryside are quoted on the same terms as the rest of Cambridge. What changes a quote is the job itself: a longer rural driveway, a slope that needs a retaining wall or a drain, or access that decides whether a skid steer can get to the back.
Do the permit rules change outside the City of Cambridge?
Yes. Ayr is in North Dumfries Township, which has its own entrance and zoning rules, and anything on a Regional road is the Region of Waterloo's permit wherever the address is. The 7-metre width and 45 per cent landscape figures on this site are the City of Cambridge's. We confirm the applicable rule for the exact address before a design is drawn.
Is the ground different between the villages and the subdivisions?
In our experience, yes, and it matters more than the postal code. Newer subdivision lots tend to have graded subsoil close to the surface that drains slowly, which is where thin bases heave. Older village and rural lots vary from lot to lot, and the site visit includes a look at what is actually under the existing surface before the base depth is specified.
