All services
Five kinds of work on one page. The useful question is rarely which service you want, it is which one the surface actually needs, and that is usually decided by what is under it rather than what it looks like.
Choosing the work
A surface with separate cracks and a sound base needs sealing, not replacing, and a coat after the cracks are filled will add years. A surface that has broken into interlocking pieces needs the opposite, because the problem is below it.
Between those two sit the cases where resurfacing is the honest answer: the base is still holding but the surface is spent. It costs a fraction of a rebuild and is the option most often left out of a quote.
For lots, add the question of whether the layout still works. Markings are a low-cost change that affects how many vehicles fit, and they are the last step after any surface work.
Installation
Laying a surface, or replacing one that has reached the end.
Residential drives taken back to a prepared base and paved in compacted passes, usually in a single working day.
Learn moreLots built to the loads they carry, staged so sections of the site can keep operating while the work runs.
Learn moreA fresh layer bonded to a base that is still sound. The cheaper answer wherever the ground below has not moved.
Learn moreFull depth removal and rebuild where the base has gone. The only lasting fix once a surface is past patching.
Learn moreThe granular layer dug out, graded and compacted. Almost every surface that lasts comes down to this being done right.
Learn moreExtra width or length added to an existing surface, with the join between old and new built so it does not open.
Learn moreRepair
Fixing what has gone without replacing what has not.
Cut square, base replaced where it washed out, filled and compacted level with the surface around it.
Learn moreCleaning and sealing the openings that let water reach the base. Low-cost work that delays the expensive kind by years.
Learn moreA failed section removed to full depth and rebuilt, used where the cracking has become a connected network.
Learn moreCrumbled edges rebuilt and supported, because an unsupported edge takes the rest of the surface with it over time.
Learn moreA dropped section lifted, re-based and relaid rather than topped up to hide the dip.
Learn moreRegrading so rain runs off instead of sitting, which is the single change that most extends a surface.
Learn moreSealcoating
Keeping a sound surface sound, on a sensible cycle.
Clean, crack-seal and coat, with edges and the garage apron cut by hand so the finish does not stop short.
Learn moreCoating staged across a lot so sections stay usable, normally paired with fresh markings afterwards.
Learn moreCracks routed and filled with a flexible hot sealant that moves with the surface instead of splitting at the first frost.
Learn moreThe differences between sealers, how many coats are useful and what dilution does to coverage and wear.
Learn moreInspection, crack work and coating on a set cycle, which over a decade costs less than reacting to failures.
Learn moreLots and commercial
Work on sites that have to keep operating.
Stalls, aisles, arrows and numbers set from measured points rather than traced over faded paint.
Learn moreStalls, access aisles and the route to the door, laid out to the dimensions required rather than to the space left over.
Learn moreSigns, posts, wheel stops and protective bollards installed while the lot is already closed for marking.
Learn moreSites where residents need access throughout and a board has to approve the spend before anything starts.
Learn moreThe whole site graded by condition and sequenced across budget years so nothing is replaced before it needs to be.
Learn moreCommon questions
Paving, repairs, sealcoating and line marking from one company over three years. Every job started with a measurement.
From the first site visit to the final sweep, one crew and one contact. That made a messy lot simple.
They do the whole range so nobody blames the other contractor when something goes wrong.
Whatever the job, it starts with a look at the base. That habit is why their quotes are right.
From the blog
Driveway Paving
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.

Asphalt Repair
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.

Sealcoating
The autumn window for sealcoating closes fast in Edmonton. A sealed surface resists salt damage and plough wear on edges. Here's when to act and what changes if you wait.

Describe the surface or let us look at it. You get the service that matches the damage, a price in writing, and a plain answer if the work can safely wait.
A site visit takes about twenty minutes and costs nothing.
