What paver brands are available from suppliers in Metro Vancouver?

Metro Vancouver has excellent access to both premium North American paver manufacturers and local BC producers, with most major brands available through landscape supply yards and contractor networks across the region.

The premium tier includes Unilock, Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Permacon — these manufacturers offer the widest selection of colours, textures, and specialty products like tumbled pavers, large-format slabs, and permeable systems. Unilock is particularly well-represented in Metro Vancouver through multiple dealers and offers their Elegance collection (wet-cast pavers with natural stone textures) and EnduraColor technology for fade-resistant colour. Belgard's Elements collection and Techo-Bloc's sophisticated colour blends are popular for upscale residential projects in West Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Vancouver's west side.

Regional manufacturers include Expocrete (BC-based), Mutual Materials (Washington state), and Barkman (Manitoba) — these brands offer excellent quality at more accessible price points while still providing good colour selection and proven performance in Pacific Northwest conditions. Expocrete is manufactured in Surrey and offers the advantage of local production, shorter delivery times, and products specifically designed for BC's marine climate. Their pavers perform exceptionally well in Metro Vancouver's wet conditions and are a favourite among local contractors.

Allan Block and Versa-Lok dominate the retaining wall market in Metro Vancouver, with Allan Block being particularly popular for residential projects under 6 feet in height. Both systems are engineered for BC soil conditions and seismic requirements. For natural stone, BC has outstanding local quarries producing basalt, granite, and sandstone that complement the region's natural landscape beautifully.

Most landscape supply yards in Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, and Langley carry multiple brands, allowing homeowners and contractors to compare options side-by-side. Pricing varies significantly — budget concrete pavers start around $3-5 per sq ft for materials only, while premium wet-cast pavers with specialty finishes can reach $8-15 per sq ft before installation. The key in Metro Vancouver is choosing pavers from manufacturers who understand coastal climate requirements — proper concrete mix design, adequate curing, and quality control that ensures pavers won't spall or deteriorate in our persistent moisture and occasional freeze-thaw cycles.

When selecting pavers, focus on the installer's experience with your chosen brand rather than the brand name alone. A skilled contractor familiar with proper base preparation, drainage design, and polymeric sand application will create a superior installation regardless of whether you choose premium Unilock or regional Expocrete pavers.
