At Simcoe Building Centre and Simcoe Masonry Centre, we proudly supply one of the most comprehensive selections of patio stones, pavers, and landscape stone products in the region, backed by expert advice and efficient delivery.

Whether you’re working on a new build, a full backyard transformation, or a simple pathway installation, the materials you choose will set the tone for the entire project. Simcoe Building Centre and Simcoe Masonry Centre are here to ensure you have the best tools to help bring your project to life.

Versatile Stone Options for Every Style

Patio stones and pavers are the most versatile and in-demand materials in landscape design, and for good reason. They offer the perfect combination of style, durability and function. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, modern outdoor lounge or a rustic garden escape, we stock a wide variety of patio stone and hardscape stone to suit your vision.

Our hardscape stone selection includes:

• Concrete patio stones in various sizes, colours and patterns.

• Traditional pavers in various sizes, colours, patterns and uses.

• Oversized pavers for more contemporary looks.

• Coping for pool edges.

• Retaining wall stone in various sizes, shapes and colour.

With options in warm earth tones, cool greys, and rich charcoals, our stone collection complements every aesthetic and project scale. We also provide expert guidance to help you select the right product based on foot traffic, application, and design goals.

Stones for Pathways, Driveways and More

While patios are a common application, our landscape stone inventory is designed for much more than lounging areas. We stock materials perfect for:

• Garden pathways which are both charming and practical

• Front entranceways creating inviting first impressions

• Driveways which are durable, load-bearing, and visually cohesive with your home

No matter the size of your project, we can supply the right quantity - and get it to your site quickly with our reliable delivery service.

Retaining Wall for Structure and Style

For projects involving elevation changes, support structures, or simply wanting to add depth to the landscape design, we also offer a full range of retaining wall stone. These engineered blocks are ideal for:

• Raised flower beds

• Retaining slopes or grade changes

• Terraced landscapes

• Decorative walls and borders

We stock retaining wall products which offer strength without sacrificing style, with options in modern and traditional finishes to suit the surrounding hardscape elements.

Standard Patio Stones

We carry a good selection of standard patio stones in basic colours and sizes. Patio stones are a cost effective and durable solution for creating functional outdoor surfaces. These concrete stones provide a clean, uniform look that’s perfect for patios, walkways. They often get used as a quick and easy solution for setting air conditioners on, or making temporary walkways during building. They are easy to install, low-maintenance, and built to withstand harsh weather, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.

Supporting Materials: Aggregates and Base Products

Every great hardscape project starts with a solid base - which is why we also carry the essential aggregates to support your build. At Simcoe Building Centre, you’ll find:

• Pea Gravel

• Crushed Granite

• Limestone Screenings

• Sand

These materials are key to ensuring proper drainage, stability, and long-term performance of your patio, pathway, or driveway. If you’re unsure what you need for your base layer, our team can point you in the right direction.
