Kanata–Stittsville features a mix of clay soils, granular fill, and newer subdivision bases that can shift over time. Without proper preparation, these conditions lead to cracking, settlement, and drainage issues. We rebuild and reinforce the granular base to ensure a stable foundation before paving.
We specialize in residential asphalt driveways designed for daily vehicle use. Our process includes excavation when needed, base correction, and installation of HL3 fine hot mix asphalt at a 2.5-inch final compacted thickness for durability, smoothness, and long service life.
Poor drainage and sunken garage approaches are common in Kanata–Stittsville, especially in newer developments. We correct driveway pitch from curb to garage, eliminate low spots, and restore smooth asphalt-to-concrete transitions to ensure proper water runoff and easy vehicle access.
