 FAQ Section

Q1. How do I know whether my driveway needs repair or full replacement?
When there are repeated instances of cracking, sinking, ponding, exposed base failure or surface is several years old with numerous patches, wholesale replacement can be long term more economical. A contractor will carry out a site inspection that will aid in the determination of the integrity of the sub-base.

Q2. Which material is best for Calgary’s weather?
Properly laid asphalt having a solid base, sufficient thickness and drainage is likely to work. Concrete is tough and has to be placed keeping in mind the freeze-thaw cycles and the location of joints. Decorative pavers are expensive yet they demand great base preparation and maintenance.

Q3. How long does a driveway paving project typically take?
For a standard residential project : demolition/removal day one, base prep next day, paving day following, and curing 24-48 hours. Commercial or larger installations may take several days or more depending on size, staging, business access. Winter conditions may lengthen project time.

Q4. Will I need permits for driveway paving in Calgary?

There is usually no need to get major building permits to do the replacement of an existing Walkway, however, extending past what was previously laid down, runoff drainage, changing lot lines, or commercial surfaces would require that one check with the city or the qualified contractor.

Q5. What maintenance is required after the driveway is installed?
Make sure there is drainage (gutters/downspouts); water should not remain on the surface, pavement should be sealed after every 3-5 years, snow should be removed quickly, cracks should be filled at an early stage, vegetation should not grow between pavers, and ponding or uneven settling should be checked.

Q6. Is it possible to have an environmentally friendly or permeable surface?
Yes. Most local contractors provide pervious pavers or specialized drainage surfaces that can permit the infiltration of water, runoff, and minimization of water, which is the sustainability design goals. These alternatives are more expensive in the short-run but could be advantageous in the long-term site water management.
