Older subdivisions
- Driveways past their service life
- Settled and heaved interlock
- Original base too shallow for the load
- Drainage running the wrong way
Usually a full rebuild rather than a re-lay.

In Markham
What we see locally.
Markham is our busiest area and it splits neatly into two kinds of job. In the older subdivisions the original driveways are at the end of their life and the base under them was never built for twenty-five years of freeze-thaw. In the newer builds the yard was handed over as bare grade and everything behind the house still has to be built from scratch.
Newer builds
- Bare graded yards from the builder
- No walkway to the side or back
- Grading still directing water at the foundation
- Full backyard builds
Where most of our patio and walkway work comes from.
Either way
- Ontario One Call locates first
- Grade checked before anything is quoted
- Written scope naming base depth
- Site swept at the end of each day

Questions
Markham, answered.
Do I need a permit to redo a driveway in Markham?
Replacing a driveway in its existing footprint generally does not need a building permit. Widening it, or cutting a new curb across the boulevard, does need approval from the City of Markham, and the rules on maximum width and how much of the front yard can be hard surface differ between municipalities. We confirm what applies to your address before quoting.
How quickly can you start in Markham?
It depends on the season. Spring and early summer are booked over the winter, so a job signed in January is usually in the ground by April. Interior work has much shorter lead times year-round.
Do you charge extra for travel?
No. Markham is inside our normal working radius from Stouffville, which is deliberately kept tight — travel time comes out of the working day, and a contractor who is two hours away is a contractor who does not come back.
Will you come back if something settles?
Yes. Minor settling in the first season is not unusual and lifting and resetting a small area is straightforward. Being twenty minutes away is the practical reason we can do that.
