Etobicoke · Ontario, Canada
A driveway or patio is only as good as what's under it. In Humber Bay Shores, Islington Village, Mimico and The Kingsway we start with the base, grading and drainage, then pour or pave.
FAQ
Asphalt is quicker to install, flexes with frost and is easy to reseal; concrete costs more up front but lasts longer and offers more finishes. The right pick depends on budget, slope, how long you plan to stay and the look you want.
Replacing a driveway the same size often needs no permit, but widening it, adding a curb cut or working in the city boulevard usually does. We check your municipality's rules before the job is scheduled.
Price depends on size, removal of the old surface, base depth, finish and access. We measure on site and give a written, itemized quote — no guesswork pricing over the phone.
Underground utilities are located first through the local one-call service, the layout and grades are confirmed, and access and parking are arranged so the work goes smoothly.
Yes. We remove the pavers and bedding, correct the base and pour a concrete driveway or walkway, with a decorative finish if you want one.
Toronto
Every Etobicoke property is different: soil, slope, trees and the way water leaves the lot all change how the slab or asphalt should be built.
Good concrete needs control joints, reinforcement where loads demand it and proper curing; good asphalt needs compaction and clean edges.
Freeze-thaw cycles and road salt are hard on paving here, so we use air-entrained concrete, a deeper compacted base and recommend sealing.

Guide
Hairline cracks and surface wear can usually be sealed or resurfaced. Wide, spreading cracks, potholes, sunken sections, heaving and water pooling against the house usually point to a failed base, and patching that will not last. If more than about a quarter of the surface is damaged, or the driveway is near the end of its life, replacement in Etobicoke is often better value than repeated repairs. An on-site look settles it.
Yes. Small jobs — a few steps, a landing, a walkway section, a pad for a shed, AC unit or hot tub, or a short sidewalk repair — are common across Etobicoke. They are quoted the same way as bigger work: measure, scope and a written price. Bundling small repairs together, or with a larger driveway or patio job, usually lowers the cost per square foot.
For a residential concrete driveway, 4 inches of concrete is the usual minimum, with 5–6 inches where heavier vehicles park, on a compacted granular base of roughly 6 inches or more. Asphalt driveways are commonly 2–3 inches of hot-mix over a similar compacted base. Soil, drainage and the vehicles you own in Etobicoke decide the exact build-up, and we spell it out in the quote.
Driveway cost in Etobicoke comes down to five things: the size in square feet, whether old concrete, asphalt or interlock has to be removed and hauled away, how much granular base is needed, the surface and finish you choose, and site access for equipment. Sloped lots, drainage corrections and permits add to the scope. Asphalt usually costs less per square foot than concrete; stamped or exposed-aggregate concrete costs more than a broom finish. A written, itemized quote after an on-site measure is the only reliable number — be wary of prices given without anyone seeing the property.
