Grimsby’s Lakefront-Proof Driveways

Set between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, Grimsby gets moisture-laden winds, plow traffic, and recurring freeze–thaw cycles. Our premium HL-3A asphalt, laid hot at ~160 °C over a precision-graded 200 mm Granular-A base, creates a smooth, crack-resistant asphalt driveway that stands up to lake breezes, salt, and daily loads for years. From heritage homes around Esplanade Park to the Mountain Brow subdivisions, locals trust Pro Pavement—Grimsby driveway paving specialists serving the Niagara Peninsula—for professional asphalt driveway installation, resurfacing, and repairs.

Our Commitment to Grimsby Driveway Paving

Neighbourhood-Specific Design Notes

Downtown & Esplanade Park

Narrow heritage streets and mature trees demand finesse. We use compact pavers, hand-tamped edges, and root-guard boards to preserve canopy cover and historic charm.

Mountain Brow & Ridge Road

Steep drives and heavier vehicles need extra strength. We install a 65 mm HL-3A surface course on a 225 mm base to resist rutting from SUVs, trailers, and delivery vans.

South Service Road & Lakeshore West

Low-lying corridors invite pooling. A 2% cross-slope with perforated edge drains channels runoff into the storm network, protecting foundations and minimizing frost heave.

Permits & Regulations

The Town of Grimsby requires a driveway permit for any curb-cut or widening. We manage Ontario One Call locates and the permit submission—no extra trips to City Hall.

Why Asphalt Suits Grimsby

  • Durable in lake weather: Handles 30+ freeze–thaw cycles with minimal cracking.
  • Cost-effective: Faster and less expensive to install or refresh than concrete.
  • Safer in winter: Dark asphalt absorbs solar warmth, melting frost on shaded lanes.
  • Lower impact options: Warm-mix asphalt reduces odour and greenhouse-gas emissions.
