Paver patios in Halifax typically run $25 to $40 per square foot installed. That covers excavation, a proper crushed-stone base, sand setting bed, pavers, polymeric sand, and a contrasting border at no extra charge. Designs, deeper bases, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens raise the price. Final pricing depends on machine access, paver brand, and site conditions.
Most residential retaining walls in Halifax run $75 to $200 per square face foot installed, depending on height, drainage requirements, and the block system used (Techo Block, Permacon, Oaks, Shaw Brick, or natural armour stone). Walls over 3 feet typically require engineering and geogrid reinforcement, which adds cost.
Sod installation in Halifax typically costs $2 to $4 per square foot installed, including soil prep, topsoil if needed, fresh Nova Scotia–grown sod, and roll-out. Pricing depends on the size of the lawn, site access, and whether machines can do the work or it has to be done by hand. Jobs that need to be moved by general labour cost more than ones a skid steer or tractor can reach.
We require a 25% deposit to secure your project on the schedule, with the remaining 75% due on completion. For larger projects, we can split payments into progress milestones tied to project stages.
Outworks Property Services offers a 2-year workmanship warranty on all installations. The warranty covers installation defects but does not cover frost heave (an act of nature) or client-caused damage such as heavy items dropped on pavers, vehicle damage, or improper maintenance.
We install Techo Block, Oaks, Permacon, and Shaw Brick. All four are top-tier Canadian manufacturers with their own product warranties that run alongside our 2-year workmanship warranty.
Yes — Outworks Property Services carries full liability insurance and WCB coverage. We provide proof of insurance on request before any project begins.
Most residential paver patios take 3 to 7 days from excavation to clean-up, depending on size, base depth, and design complexity. Larger patios with fire pits, walls, or outdoor kitchens can take 1 to 2 weeks.
Most residential sod installs are completed in a single day. Larger properties or jobs that need grading or soil prep first may take 2 to 3 days.
We excavate 8 to 12 inches deep, install geotextile fabric, lay and compact 6 to 10 inches of crushed stone base, screed a 1-inch sand setting bed, lay pavers in the chosen pattern, install edge restraint, sweep polymeric sand into joints, and compact the surface. Proper base prep is what makes a patio last 25+ years.
When installed on a properly prepared base with the right drainage, paver patios and segmental retaining walls in Halifax routinely last 25 to 40 years. The base prep — not the pavers themselves — is what determines longevity.
Quality hardscaping typically returns 60 to 80 percent of its cost in increased home value, and a well-designed paver patio or front entry significantly improves curb appeal and time-on-market when selling. ROI is highest on front-entry walkways and rear patios that expand usable living space.

Outworks Property Services serves Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, Fall River, Waverley, and the greater Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) across Nova Scotia.
Quote variance usually comes down to base prep depth, drainage solutions, materials grade, and warranty length. A cheaper quote often skips proper excavation, uses thinner crushed-stone base, or substitutes lower-tier pavers — all of which show up as settling, weeds, and heaving within 2 to 5 years. Always compare scope of work line-by-line, not just the bottom-line price.

Yes — drainage correction, regrading, French drains, and swale installation are part of our excavation services. Proper drainage is the foundation of every successful hardscape and landscape project.
Hardscaping refers to the non-living, built elements of an outdoor space — patios, retaining walls, paver walkways, driveways, edging, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. It complements softscaping (sod, plants, mulch) to create a complete landscape design.
Yes — spring and fall clean-ups are among our most popular landscaping services. We handle leaf and debris removal, garden bed clean-up, edging, mulch top-up, and pruning.
