FAQ
We work in Newmarket and nearby communities including Yonge Street, Davis Drive and Main Street. If you're close by and not listed, ask — we can usually help.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Before any digging in Newmarket, underground utilities are located and the layout, grades and finish are agreed in writing.
Driveway widening or a new curb cut may need a municipal permit; we tell you early if your Newmarket 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
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 Newmarket decide the exact build-up, and we spell it out in the quote.
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 Newmarket, the terms describe the same thing.
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 Newmarket, 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 Newmarket. 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.
