Belgard hardscapes. Home doesn't end at the back door.

In Regina, the major hardscape supply yards include Rusty Shovel Landscape Shop and TUDS (The Ultimate Deck Shop) at 141 4th Avenue East. In Saskatoon, SiteOne Landscape Supply has a branch and TUDS has its full hardscape and decking yard at 320 68th Street East. TUDS sources Belgard order-to-project via Expocrete and pairs it with build-team consults, managed install, and the broader deck-and-hardscape lineup (composite decking, railing, lighting, fasteners) — a one-stop yard for the entire backyard project, not just the pavers.

Yes. Belgard pavers meet ASTM C-936 (interlocking concrete pavement) and ASTM C-1372 (segmental retaining walls) — those are the North American standards specifically engineered for freeze-thaw climates. Manufactured in Western Canada via Expocrete (Oldcastle APG), the mix designs are calibrated for Prairie conditions. The bigger variable for paver longevity is base preparation: 6" of compacted ¾"-clear aggregate plus 1" screed sand bedding plus proper edge restraint. Get the base right and Prairie-rated pavers last decades.

Belgard offers a lifetime transferable limited warranty on residential applications — products are guaranteed for the lifetime of the product as defined by ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) standards. The warranty transfers with property ownership and is honoured by Oldcastle APG / Expocrete in Canada. Coverage requires installation per CMHA guidelines or the Belgard Installation Manual; improper base prep voids the warranty. Belgard owns the warranty claim process; TUDS helps you navigate it but doesn't file claims on your behalf — call either store and we'll walk you through the documentation Belgard will ask for.

Pricing varies significantly by collection (Mega-Arbel sits below Catalina; outdoor-living kits scale by complexity), thickness (60mm vs 80mm), and current Expocrete production schedule. Most Prairie residential paver projects land in the $X–$X/sq ft installed range including base, but for a real number on your specific project — square-footage, collection, install scope — get an instant estimate or call the build team. Belgard / Expocrete is competitive with Techo-Bloc and Barkman at the matching tier.

Pavers are interlocking concrete units — typically 4×8 or smaller-format — laid in patterns that share load via interlock. They're the workhorse for driveways, walkways, and traffic-bearing patios. Slabs are larger-format (12×24, 24×24, 24×36) with cleaner contemporary lines, designed for patios, pool surrounds, and rooftops. Slabs install on either sand-set or pedestal systems; pavers always install on compacted aggregate base with sand bedding. Pavers handle vehicular load; slabs are pedestrian. For driveways always pavers; for modern patios slabs are usually the answer.

In Saskatchewan, segmental retaining walls under 4 feet (1.2m) of exposed height typically don't require a stamped engineering drawing for residential applications — though municipalities vary, so check your local building department. Walls over 4ft, or any wall supporting a structure or driveway, require a Professional Engineer (PE) stamped design. Belgard's wall systems (AB Europa, Tandem, Highland Stone) all have manufacturer geogrid specifications that paired with proper base prep handle most residential heights. TUDS build team can route you to a structural designer if your project needs a stamp.

TUDS ships Belgard / Expocrete pavers, slabs, and walls LTL freight across the Prairies and into Alberta and Manitoba on most projects. Pricing varies with distance and pallet count — call either store for a freight quote on your specific address and tonnage. For projects further afield, your closest Expocrete-served yard via the Belgard dealer locator may be the better path, but for the wider Prairie region TUDS often beats both freight cost and lead time on ordered pallets.
