Asphalt Driveway Paving in Burlington

Burlington’s lakeside climate and diverse soil types—from sandy loam near the water to dense clay up north—pose unique challenges for residential driveways. At Pro Pavement, we install a 60 mm HL-3A asphalt layer laid hot at ~160 °C over a 200–225 mm Granular-A base. This high-performance combo delivers a smooth, durable surface that withstands snowplows, summer UV, and heavy family vehicle traffic.

From executive homes in Shoreacres to post-war bungalows in Mountainside, homeowners throughout Burlington count on us for precision asphalt driveway installations, driveway widening, and full resurfacing.

• Roseland & Shoreacres: Mature trees and long driveways require air-spade root exposure, hand-tamped edges, and optional permeable shoulder stones to preserve root zones while maintaining drainage.
• Headon Forest & Palmer: Extra-wide driveways designed for multiple vehicles call for a reinforced 70 mm asphalt surface course and overlapping base layers to prevent edge cracking and rutting.
• Rural North (Kilbride & Lowville): Clay-rich soils and long gravel lanes are prepped with cement-stabilized base and geotextile underlayments for proper support and water filtration before paving begins.

Driveway expansions and curb modifications require a Driveway Widening Permit from the City of Burlington, along with possible tree protection zone approvals in areas like Roseland and Downtown Burlington. If your property is on a Regional road (e.g., Walkers Line or Appleby Line), Halton Region must also approve the work.

• Flexible enough for Burlington’s mix of lake-cooled summers and frost-prone winters.
• More cost-effective and faster to repair than concrete—ideal for suburban families and rental properties.
• Black surface helps melt snow faster in shady areas like Spruce Avenue and Lakeshore Road.
• Warm-mix asphalt options reduce odour and environmental impact in tightly built neighbourhoods.
