Burlington · Ontario, Canada
Whether it's a cracked driveway, a sunken walkway or a new parking area, we quote it clearly and build it properly in Downtown Burlington, Aldershot, Appleby and Tyandaga.
FAQ
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.
Sealcoating asphalt every few years slows drying and cracking. Sealing concrete helps it resist water and de-icing salt. We recommend a schedule based on your surface and exposure.
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.
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.
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.

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
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 Burlington decide the exact build-up, and we spell it out in the quote.
Driveway cost in Burlington 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 Burlington is often better value than repeated repairs. An on-site look settles it.
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 Burlington, most homeowners are better served by waiting for spring; winter pours are mostly for footings and commercial schedules that can't wait.
