Paver Patio Installation Built for Burnaby's Conditions
A paver patio is where your family will spend the most time outdoors. It is the foundation for barbecues, morning coffee, evening conversations, and every gathering in between. In the Fraser Valley, where it rains for months at a stretch and temperatures swing from summer heat to winter frost, a patio needs to be more than attractive. It needs to drain perfectly, resist settling, and look as good in year ten as it does on installation day.
A paver Patio Installation project in Burnaby has to handle conditions most contractors underestimate. North Burnaby (Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Lochdale) is glacial till with rocky substrate, similar in feel to West Vancouver. Central Burnaby (Brentwood, Deer Lake, Cascade Heights) is silty loam over glacial till. Big Bend is Fraser River alluvium with a high water table. Excavation conditions vary significantly by neighborhood. Burnaby receives approximately 1,400 to 1,500 mm of annual rainfall, less than Coquitlam or Maple Ridge but still significant. Urban heat island effects mean summers can be warm, and winter freeze thaw is mild but frequent. Capitol Hill and Westridge see slightly more precipitation than south Burnaby. Trueform engineers every paver Patio Installation project for the actual ground under your property and the actual weather it will see, not a generic Lower Mainland spec.

Deer Lake Urban Garden Patio
A Deer Lake backyard with four mature trees (two western red cedars, a Japanese maple, and an apple tree) required a design that preserved all root zones. We used an air spade and hand dig approach inside the critical root zones, installed a 36 square metre Belgard Mega-Lafitt paver patio, built a stone seat wall around a gas fire pit, and finished with a low voltage LED lighting scheme that highlights the trees at night. All trees were preserved and remain healthy.

What Burnaby Homeowners Say
We were worried our two old cedars could not survive a patio install. Trueform brought in an arborist and designed the patio to preserve every root. Both trees are thriving.
Helena W.
Deer Lake, Burnaby
Our lot is on a slope with rock showing through in two places. They adapted the wall design to work with the rock instead of fighting it. Zero surprises during the build.
