FAQ
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.
Fresh asphalt is usually ready for cars in a few days, sooner in cool weather. Concrete typically needs about a week before passenger vehicles and longer for heavy trucks.
We work in Ajax and nearby communities including Downtown Ajax, Pickering Village and Lakeshore. If you're close by and not listed, ask — we can usually help.
Most cracking comes from a thin or poorly compacted base, water getting underneath, missing control joints or heavy loads. Building the base properly and managing drainage prevents most of it.
Yes. We pave and repair parking lots, lanes and sidewalks for commercial, condo and municipal properties, including line painting and drainage work, with phased scheduling.

Durham Region
Homeowners in Downtown Ajax, Pickering Village and Lakeshore usually call us for driveway replacement, interlock-to-concrete conversions, patios and front steps; businesses call for lots and repairs.
Driveway widening or a new curb cut may need a municipal permit; we tell you early if your Ajax job needs one.
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
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 Ajax. 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.
Asphalt should not be laid in steady rain. Water on the base or in the mat cools the hot mix too fast, stops it bonding and leaves a weak, porous surface that fails early. Light drizzle on a well-drained base may be workable, but most crews in Ajax reschedule. Hot-mix also needs warm enough air and ground temperatures to compact properly, which is why paving around Durham Region is usually done from spring to late fall.
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 Ajax decide the exact build-up, and we spell it out in the quote.
Driveway cost in Ajax 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.
