Layout, materials and schedule agreed before work starts.
Removal, base, forming or paving, done by one crew.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Services
Reinforced slabs with control joints placed so cracks happen where they're meant to.
Resurfacing and partial replacement when the base is still sound.
Phased scheduling so tenants, customers and traffic keep moving during the work.
Grading and compaction of the granular base — the part that decides how long the surface lasts.
Widening, extensions and apron work, with permits flagged when the city requires them.
Hot-mix asphalt for driveways, lanes and parking areas, machine-laid and roller-compacted.
Peel Region
Every Caledon property is different: soil, slope, trees and the way water leaves the lot all change how the slab or asphalt should be built.
Commercial work around Peel Region adds line painting, catch basin repairs, accessible parking and phased paving so the property stays open.
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 Caledon, 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 Caledon reschedule. Hot-mix also needs warm enough air and ground temperatures to compact properly, which is why paving around Peel Region is usually done from spring to late fall.
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 Caledon is often better value than repeated repairs. An on-site look settles it.
Mostly, yes. "Blacktop" is the everyday word for asphalt pavement. Technically both are a mix of stone aggregate and bitumen; blacktop is sometimes used for the hotter, finer surface mix used on driveways and lots, while heavier asphalt mixes go on roads. For a home driveway in Caledon, the terms describe the same thing.
