Commercial Walkway and Entrance Interlocking in the GTA
Inno Interlocking builds commercial walkways and entrances across the GTA, planned around safety, accessibility, and drainage, not just how the surface looks.
An entrance is the first thing anyone touches on your property, and the place where a slip-and-fall claim is most likely to start.

Why Commercial Walkways or Entrances Deserve Their Own Approach?
A parking lot is engineered around vehicle load. An entrance or walkway is engineered around people, walking at a normal pace, sometimes in a hurry, sometimes carrying something, sometimes using a mobility aid.
That changes what matters most. Surface consistency, grade transitions, and drainage at the exact points where people slow down or stop, at doors, at curbs, at the top and bottom of any grade change, carry more weight here than they do on a vehicle surface. An entrance that looks fine but drains poorly becomes a liability the first time it ices over.
If an existing walkway or entrance is sinking, holding water, or has pavers shifting, that’s not something a new installation fixes on its own. We handle that kind of repair too, even on surfaces we didn’t originally build.
Drainage at an Entrance Is a Safety Issue, Not Just a Design One
Water pooling at an entrance isn’t just unsightly. It’s exactly where people are moving slowest and where a slip is most likely, and in winter, standing water at an entrance becomes ice in the one spot everyone has to cross.
We grade entrances and walkways specifically to move water away from the areas where people actually stop and transition, doors, thresholds, the base of any steps, not just toward a drain somewhere on the property in general.
Accessibility and Grade Transitions
Commercial properties often need to account for accessibility in how a walkway or entrance is built, consistent surface levels, manageable grades, and smooth transitions where surfaces change.
Exact accessibility requirements vary by property, by municipality, and by how the space is used. We plan grades and transitions with accessibility in mind, but we’d recommend confirming the specific requirements that apply to your property with the municipality or an accessibility consultant. We’ll build to whatever is specified.
Materials Built for Foot Traffic, Not Just Scaled Down From a Parking Lot
A walkway or entrance base doesn’t need to handle a delivery truck, but it does need to handle years of consistent foot traffic, occasional equipment like a snowblower or hand cart, and the same freeze-thaw exposure as the rest of the property.
We design the base around what a pedestrian area actually experiences rather than treating it as a lighter version of a parking lot spec.

What This Costs to Get Right
A walkway or entrance costs less to build than a full parking lot, but the price still depends on more than length and width.
What actually drives the number:
- Existing surface. Whether old concrete, asphalt, or pavers need to come out first.
- Grade changes. Steps, ramps, or transitions add complexity a flat walkway doesn’t have.
- Drainage work. How much grading is needed to move water away from doors and thresholds.
- Accessibility requirements. Consistent grades and transitions can affect base and layout decisions.
- Access to the work area. Tight urban sites or limited equipment access can add time and cost.
We assess the site and provide an itemized quote so you know what’s driving the number, not a flat rate that hides what’s included.
