FAQ
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 pave and repair parking lots, lanes and sidewalks for commercial, condo and municipal properties, including line painting and drainage work, with phased scheduling.
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.
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.

York Region
Every Richmond Hill property is different: soil, slope, trees and the way water leaves the lot all change how the slab or asphalt should be built.
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
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 Richmond Hill is often better value than repeated repairs. An on-site look settles it.
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 Richmond Hill. 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.
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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill, the terms describe the same thing.
