DRIVEWAYS & PATHWAYS
A new asphalt driveway or pathway can significantly enhance your home's curb appeal. Bytown Paving offers long-lasting, durable asphalt driveways for new builds or replacement asphalt around your property.
DRIVEWAY RESURFACING
Sometimes, your driveway needs a little TLC; that's where driveway resurfacing comes in. As a more affordable option for a new driveway, resurfacing is an excellent option if your asphalt is in decent condition. As you notice water pooling or rough cracks, this is a great time to reach out. We can pave over the surface, but if there is extensive damage, we'll have to pulverize the existing surface and resurface it with new asphalt.
ASPHALT REPAIRS & PATCHING
While asphalt is quite durable, regular wear and tear are expected. Caused by moisture exposure and the extreme hot and cold cycles we experience here in Ottawa. We offer asphalt repairs and patching to help keep your driveway in good shape for longer. If your driveway is relatively new (less than 20 years) and has small cracks, our team can assess and fix impacted areas helping prolong the life of your driveway.
Our Paving Process
Our crews are well-trained to provide you with a lasting driveway. With so many years of experience, our system has been perfected to provide a high-quality driveway promptly. The paving process takes a few days to complete—one to prepare the subgrade and a day or two to complete the paving process.
Needs Assesment
We take a fully integrated approach leveraging custom design to meet your aesthetic desires with project management backing to ensure an efficient process, giving you access to your new driveway as soon as possible.
Build the Foundation
A well-compacted base is the foundation for your driveway and ensures a level, high-quality finish that lasts for years. We proceed to the paving process if your base is in good shape.
Pave the Way
The asphalt is laid and compressed with a power roller. On top of a prepared and compacted base, a typical residential driveway has 2 to 2.5″ of asphalt; this thickness is optimized for automobiles based on use and cost.
Let it Cure
Curing a new driveway takes time; it shouldn't be used for at least 2 to 3 days after it has been laid. The hot asphalt needs to cool and set. If the weather is hot, then hosing down the driveway can help with the process.
