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.
Often, yes. If the base is sound, crack filling, patching or an overlay can add years. If the base has failed, repairs won't last, and we'll tell you that up front.
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.
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.

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.

Wellington County
We work on homes, plazas, condos and municipal sites around Wellington County, scheduling around access, curing time and the weather.
Repairs are quoted honestly: some slabs can be levelled or patched, others are cheaper to replace than to keep fixing.
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
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 Guelph reschedule. Hot-mix also needs warm enough air and ground temperatures to compact properly, which is why paving around Wellington County is usually done from spring to late fall.
Concrete typically lasts longest with the least upkeep when it is reinforced, jointed and built on a proper base. Asphalt is cheaper and quicker, flexes with frost and is easy to patch, but needs sealcoating every few years. Interlock pavers look great and individual stones can be replaced, yet they shift and weed over time if the base and edge restraints are poor. In Guelph, the base matters more than the surface: any of the three fails early on a thin base.
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 Guelph. 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.
Driveway cost in Guelph 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.
