Durham Region
Most paving problems in Downtown Ajax, Pickering Village and Lakeshore — cracking, heaving, pooling water — trace back to a thin base or poor drainage, so that is where every job begins.
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.

FAQ
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.
Asphalt is quicker to install, flexes with frost and is easy to reseal; concrete costs more up front but lasts longer and offers more finishes. The right pick depends on budget, slope, how long you plan to stay and the look you want.
We work in Ajax and nearby communities including Downtown Ajax, Pickering Village and Lakeshore. If you're close by and not listed, ask — we can usually help.
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.
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.

Guide
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 Ajax. 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.
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 Ajax reschedule. Hot-mix also needs warm enough air and ground temperatures to compact properly, which is why paving around Durham Region is usually done from spring to late fall.
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 Ajax decide the exact build-up, and we spell it out in the quote.
Driveway cost in Ajax 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.
