Driveways + Exteriors
The surface your house stands behind.
A driveway in London, Ontario gets salted, plowed, frozen, thawed, and parked on every single day. We build for that, starting with what is under the surface, not just what you see.

D-101
Interlock + Paver Driveways
Concrete pavers laid over a properly excavated, compacted granular base with polymeric sand joints. Patterns from classic herringbone to large-format modern slabs. Individual pavers can be lifted and relaid, which makes future repairs simple.
D-102
Poured Concrete Driveways
Broom-finished or smooth concrete placed with reinforcement and control joints planned before the truck ever arrives. Done right, it is the lowest-maintenance surface you can park on.
D-103
Stamped + Decorative Concrete
Concrete textured and coloured to read as stone, slate, or brick at a fraction of the material cost. Popular for front walkways, porches, and patio surrounds that need to look sharp from the curb.
D-104
Asphalt + Resurfacing
New asphalt driveways, overlays on tired ones, and repairs where cracking or heaving has started. Compacted in lifts and edged clean against lawns and garage slabs.
D-105
Walkways, Steps + Borders
Front walks, garden paths, step landings, and driveway borders that tie the whole approach to the house together. Small footprint, big first impression.
D-106
Grading + Drainage
The part you never see and always feel. We slope surfaces away from foundations, sort out pooling water, and set the base so spring melt drains instead of heaving your new driveway.
Why the base matters
Winter finds every shortcut.
When water gets under a driveway and freezes, it expands and lifts whatever sits above it. That is why surfaces crack, pavers heave, and asphalt maps out in spiderwebs.
The fix is not a thicker top layer. It is honest excavation, the right granular base, compaction in lifts, and slopes that move water away from the surface and the foundation.
That work disappears the day we pour or lay the finish. It is also the reason the finish still looks right years later. We quote it, we show it to you at the site visit, and we do not skip it.
