Asphalt paving

Edmonton asphalt paving, driveways and parking lots

We lay new asphalt, resurface what is still sound, and repair the parts that are not. Every job starts with a look at the base and the drainage, because that is what decides how long the surface lasts, not the thickness of the top layer.

What we do

Paving, repair and sealcoating across Edmonton

Four kinds of work, and the honest answer about which one a surface needs is often the cheaper one.

All Services

Driveway paving

Removing the old surface, rebuilding the base where it has failed, and laying hot mix in compacted passes. Most residential drives are finished the same day.

Learn more

Parking lot paving

Lots carry loaded trucks, so the base depth and the drainage matter more than on a driveway. We stage the work so part of the lot stays open where that is possible.

Learn more

Asphalt repair

Potholes, cracks, sunken sections and broken edges. We quote what the surface needs rather than a package, and say plainly when a repair will not hold.

Learn more

Sealcoating

A sealer slows oxidation and keeps water out of the top layer. It is maintenance, not a repair, and it will not hide a surface that has already broken up.

Learn more

Line marking

Stall layout, accessible spaces, arrows and numbers. Fresh paint after sealcoating is the point at which a lot stops looking neglected.

Learn more

Commercial paving

Condo boards, plazas, warehouses and schools. Work is scheduled around trading hours and quoted so it can be put in front of a board or a budget.

Where driveways fail

Asphalt almost never fails from the top down

A driveway that has broken up did not wear out on the surface. Water found a way under it, the base moved, and the asphalt above it lost its support. That is why a thick new top layer over a soft base buys a season or two and then opens again in the same places.

The pattern tells you which it is. Separate lines that run with the slope are shrinkage and movement, and crack filling keeps water out of them. A patch of small interlocking pieces is the base failing, and that section needs cutting out and rebuilding.

Water is the common cause in both. If rain stands on the surface instead of running off, the slope or the base has settled, and the drainage has to be fixed first. Sealing over a pond just gives you a sealed pond. The same logic decides whether to repair or replace.

How a job runs

How your Edmonton paving job runs, first look to final pass

  1. Site visit and measure

    We measure the area, check the slope and look at where water goes. If the base is the problem, you hear that at this visit rather than after the work starts.

  2. Written, itemised quote

    Area, depth, base work and disposal are listed separately. That way a change to one of them is a visible change to the price rather than a surprise.

  3. Removal and base work

    The old surface comes out, the granular base is graded and compacted, and soft spots are dug out and replaced before anything is laid over them.

  4. Hot mix and compaction

    Asphalt is laid while it is hot and rolled in passes. Edges are compacted by hand where a roller cannot reach, because edges are where failure usually starts.

What a quote covers

What changes the number on a paving quote

Two driveways of the same size can be a long way apart in price, and the reason is almost always underneath. A surface that only needs the top layer removed and replaced is a different job from one where the base has to be dug out, and the quote should say which it is.

Depth matters for the same reason. A residential driveway and a lot that takes delivery trucks are not built the same way, so lot pricing is worked from the loads it carries rather than from the square footage alone.

Access changes it too. A machine that can reach the whole area works faster than one that cannot, and hand work around steps, posts and tight corners takes time that has to be in the number.

Where the surface is still sound, resurfacing costs a fraction of replacement because the base stays where it is. It is the cheaper answer often enough that it is worth asking about before agreeing to a full rebuild.

Common questions

What Edmonton owners ask before booking paving

The six that come up on almost every site visit.

Most Edmonton driveways are removed, re-based and paved inside one day. Wider lots and jobs that need the base rebuilt run into a second day. You stay off it for the rest of that day.
Light traffic the next morning is normal. Asphalt keeps curing for six to twelve months, so avoid parking a trailer leg or a jack stand on one spot through the first hot summer.
If the cracks are separate lines, repair is usually the cheaper answer. If the surface has broken into small interlocking pieces, the base underneath has failed and patching will not hold.
Wait six to twelve months. Fresh asphalt needs to release its oils first, and sealing too early traps them and leaves a soft surface that marks under tyres.
Standing water means the slope is wrong or the base has settled. It matters because water that sits will find the edges, get under the surface and take the base with it in a freeze.
Yes. Every Edmonton quote is itemised in writing after a site visit, with the depth, the area and the base work listed separately so you can see what changes the number.

★★★★★

They cored the old driveway, found the base had failed, and quoted a replacement with the depth written down. The driveway has been through two winters without a crack.

★★★★★

Crack sealing and a sealcoat instead of the replacement another company pushed. Three years on, the driveway is fine.

Noah F.

★★★★★

Paving day went exactly as described: out by nine, down by three, driving on it in three days.

★★★★★

Quote was a range with reasons, the invoice sat inside it, and the crew swept the street before leaving.

Why Edmonton Driveways Fail at the Apron First

The apron cracks first because the base under it was never compacted properly. This is not a surface problem. It is a foundation problem, and it decides whether resurfacing will hold.

Spring Potholes in Edmonton: Why Fall Prevention Matters

Every April, Edmonton's potholes reappear. They did not form overnight. They started as open cracks the previous fall, filled with water, and shattered when the freeze-thaw cycle began. The repair you avoid in October becomes the pothole you cannot avoid in spring.
