How it works
An on-site look at access, grades and what's under the surface.
Itemized scope, finish options and timeline in writing.
Base compacted, surface placed and finished properly.
Site cleaned and curing or sealing advice given.
FAQ
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.
Removal, base and paving for a typical asphalt driveway is usually one to two days. Concrete takes a similar time to pour, then needs several days of curing before cars drive on it — we give you the exact timeline in the quote.
We work in Aurora and nearby communities including Aurora Promenade, Bayview Wellington and Aurora Highlands. If you're close by and not listed, ask — we can usually help.
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.
Permits & locates
York Region
Most paving problems in Aurora Promenade, Bayview Wellington and Aurora Highlands — cracking, heaving, pooling water — trace back to a thin base or poor drainage, so that is where every job begins.
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
Concrete can be poured in cold weather, but it must not freeze before it gains strength. That means a thawed, frost-free subgrade, a suitable mix — often with accelerators — and insulated blankets or heated enclosures while it cures. For driveways, patios and walkways around Aurora, most homeowners are better served by waiting for spring; winter pours are mostly for footings and commercial schedules that can't wait.
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 Aurora reschedule. Hot-mix also needs warm enough air and ground temperatures to compact properly, which is why paving around York Region is usually done from spring to late fall.
Driveway cost in Aurora 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.
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 Aurora is often better value than repeated repairs. An on-site look settles it.
