Driveway Paving in Durham Region

Proper grade, proper base, proper edge.

What we do

A driveway is only as good as what's underneath.

Asphalt driveways and interlock alternatives. Proper grade, proper base, proper edge. No premature cracking. We excavate to full depth, install granular base in compacted lifts, and grade for positive drainage away from your garage and foundation.

Whether you're resurfacing an aging asphalt driveway or upgrading to interlock, we handle the full scope: demolition and disposal through to final sealing and edge restraint.

Driveway Paving

Why it lasts

Why our driveways don't crack early.

01 / 04

Full excavation

Remove old material to full depth. No shortcuts, no paving over cracked base.

02 / 04

Compacted granular base

Multiple lifts of crusher run, plate-compacted to spec. The foundation that prevents settling.

03 / 04

Positive drainage grade

Sloped away from garage and foundation. Water goes where it should.

04 / 04

Edge restraint

Proper containment so pavers and asphalt edges stay locked in place year after year.

Common questions

Driveway Paving FAQ

Asphalt is more budget-friendly and faster to install. Interlock costs more upfront but offers more design options and easier spot-repairs. We'll walk you through both during the quote.

A typical residential driveway takes 2 to 4 days: one day for demolition, one for base prep, and one or two for paving and finishing.

Almost always poor base preparation. Paving over soft or uncompacted ground leads to settling and cracking within a few years. We excavate to full depth and compact in lifts to prevent this.
