Paving contractor FAQ in Oshawa
How much does a new paver driveway cost in Oshawa?
The cost for an interlocking paver driveway in Oshawa typically ranges from $18 to $35 per square foot. This price is influenced by several factors, including the total square footage, the specific type and style of interlocking pavers selected, and the complexity of the site. For example, a property with a significant slope may require more extensive excavation and grading, which can affect the final cost. The price generally includes all aspects of the job: demolition of the old surface, comprehensive base preparation with geotextile fabric, all materials, professional installation, and joint stabilization with polymeric sand.
What is the process for installing pavers?
Our paver installation process is systematic to ensure longevity. It begins with a detailed site plan and excavation of the area to the required depth, typically 12-14 inches for a driveway. We then lay down a geotextile fabric to separate the soil from the base material. Next, we build the base in layers using granular aggregate, compacting each layer with heavy equipment to achieve 98% density. A one-inch layer of bedding sand is then screeded perfectly level. Pavers are laid in the desired pattern, with edge restraints installed to prevent lateral movement. Finally, we compact the pavers into the sand, sweep polymeric sand into the joints, and perform a final compaction.
How long does a typical paving project take?
The timeline for a paving project depends on its size, complexity, and weather conditions. A standard residential paver patio of about 400 square feet can often be completed in 3 to 5 days. A full driveway replacement is a more involved process and may take 5 to 7 days from demolition to final cleanup. Factors that can extend the timeline include intricate paver patterns, the need for extensive grading or retaining walls, and of course, rain delays. As your paving contractor, we provide a clear and realistic project schedule during the consultation phase and maintain open communication throughout the installation so you always know what to expect and when your new surface will be ready for use.
Do you offer asphalt and concrete paving?
Yes, in addition to our specialty in interlocking pavers, we offer both asphalt paving and concrete paving services. Asphalt is a popular and cost-effective choice for driveways, known for its flexibility in cold climates and its smooth, dark finish. Concrete offers incredible durability and a wide range of decorative options, such as concrete stamping and various color choices, making it suitable for patios, walkways, and driveways. Our team is fully equipped and trained in the specific base preparation and installation techniques required for each material. As a versatile paving contractor, we can help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option to select the best fit for your property's needs and aesthetic goals.
What maintenance does a paver patio require?
Paver patios are valued for being very low-maintenance compared to other surfaces. We recommend routine cleaning with a broom or leaf blower to remove debris. For stains, a simple scrub with soap and water is usually sufficient. To maintain the integrity of the joints, it's a good practice to inspect the polymeric sand every couple of years and top it up if you notice any low spots, which prevents weeds. We also offer an optional sealcoating service every 3-5 years. This process enhances the pavers' color, protects them from stains, and makes cleaning even easier. With these minimal steps, a surface installed by a professional paving contractor will retain its beauty and function for decades.
Can you repair my existing cracked driveway?
Yes, we provide driveway repair services for various issues. For asphalt driveways, we can perform crack filling and sealcoating to prevent water intrusion and further damage, as well as asphalt milling and patching for larger problem areas like potholes. For concrete driveways, we can repair minor cracks and address some forms of surface spalling. For interlocking paver driveways, we can lift sunken areas, re-level the base, and replace individual cracked pavers. During our assessment, we will honestly evaluate the extent of the damage. If the underlying base has failed, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution, which any reputable paving contractor would recommend to avoid recurring issues.
