Asphalt Driveway Paving in Lincoln, Ontario

From King Street to Twenty Valley, Lincoln’s gentler, lake-moderated winters still bring freeze–thaw cycles and clay-loam soils that punish weak driveways. We build to vineyard-country standards: HL-3A hot mix placed at ~160 °C over a laser-graded 200–225 mm Granular-A base, compacted to 98% Proctor density for long-lasting performance.

• Service area: Beamsville, Vineland, Jordan, Jordan Station, Vineland Station, Campden, Tintern.
• Standard spec: 50 mm HL-3A over 200 mm Granular-A (98% Proctor).
• Heavy-duty spec: 65 mm HL-3A or HL-8 binder (40 mm) + HL-3A (40–50 mm) over 225 mm Granular-A.
• Drainage: 2% cross-fall; perforated edge drains for low-lying or wet sites.
• Permits: Town of Lincoln driveway/entrance permits handled end-to-end; Region of Niagara standards coordinated if applicable.

• Beamsville (King St / Mountain View): Heritage curbs and mature trees. We hand-tamp edges and use root-safe board protection to preserve character and curb appeal.
• Twenty Road / Hilltop: Tour buses and delivery vans. We specify a 65 mm HL-3A surface on a 225 mm base to resist rutting and early fatigue.
• Vineland & Vineland Station: Clay-loam pockets and perched water. We set a 2% cross-slope and add perforated edge drains to protect foundations and reduce frost-heave risk.
• Jordan & Jordan Station (Twenty Valley grades): Slope management. We laser-grade and design curb/gutter transitions to prevent washouts.
• Campden & Tintern (rural entrances): Culvert checks and granular shoulder tie-ins for clean transitions to gravel roads and township standards.

• Engineered to handle 20+ freeze–thaw cycles per year with minimal frost-heave on a properly compacted base.
• Cost-efficient versus concrete for new builds and overlays.
• The dark surface helps melt light frost and dew on rural lanes and shaded drives.
• Warm-mix options available to reduce VOCs and GHGs during placement.
• Local mix designs: HL-3A surface; optional HL-8 binder for heavy-duty bays and turning areas.
