Asphalt Driveway Paving in Watertown

Situated atop the Niagara Escarpment, Waterdown’s terrain combines steep slopes, dense clay soils, and heritage streetscapes. At Pro Pavement, we build asphalt driveways engineered for durability—starting with a 225 mm Granular-A base and finishing with a 65 mm HL-3A asphalt surface laid hot at ~160 °C. Our installations are designed to handle SUVs, snowplows, and the freeze–thaw swings common to this elevated part of Hamilton.

Whether you’re tucked into Olde Waterdown Village, own a modern home in Cranberry Hill, or maintain a multigenerational property near Mountain Brow Road, we deliver professional driveway paving, asphalt resurfacing, and repairs throughout the Waterdown area.

• Olde Waterdown Village — Heritage homes and tight setbacks require compact paving equipment, hand-tamped edges, and barrier protections to preserve stone façades and mature trees.
• Cranberry Hill & Avonslea — Wide, three-car driveways demand upgraded strength. We use a 70 mm HL-3A mat on a 250 mm base to withstand RVs and tandem parking.
• Mountain Brow & Escarpment Slopes — Steep driveways on silt-loam over clay need controlled 2% crowns, reinforced granular shoulders, and textured surface finishes to ensure drainage and grip.

Waterdown is governed by the City of Hamilton, which requires a Driveway Access Permit for:

• Driveway expansions over 40% of the front yard
• Curb alterations
• Any changes to municipal right-of-way

In addition, historical areas in Olde Waterdown Village may also fall under Heritage Review for visible changes near the street.

We provide seasonal guidance to help extend the life of your driveway, including spring reminders to reseal edges and top-dress shoulders. These simple steps keep your surface strong year after year.

• Asphalt’s flexibility prevents surface cracking from frost heave in clay-heavy soils
• Faster snowmelt thanks to the heat-absorbing black surface—essential on shaded streets like Flanders Drive or Riley Street
• Easier and less expensive to refresh or patch than concrete in high-traffic suburbs
• Warm-mix options reduce odour and emissions—ideal for tight lots and environmentally conscious clients
