Even as Durham Region gets blanketed in snow, it’s never too early to start thinking about what comes next. That endless white might have you dreaming of clean lines, dry patios, and backyard BBQs on a brand new interlock surface. If that sounds familiar, spring is closer than it feels — and now is the time to start planning.
Whether you're imagining a new patio, a refreshed walkway, or a full interlock driveway, the early bird really does get the best design spot. Here’s what to know while the snow is still flying.
