Driveway Paving in Niagara Falls

Between heavy visitor traffic, persistent mist from the Falls, and frequent freeze-thaw swings, Niagara Falls driveways endure more stress than almost anywhere else in Ontario. At Pro Pavement Services Ltd., we engineer driveways to survive. Our high-density HL-3A asphalt, installed at ~160 °C over a laser-graded 200 mm Granular-A base, delivers a durable, smooth surface that resists cracking, moisture intrusion, and heavy plow wear.

We don't believe in "one size fits all." We tune our thickness and drainage to match your specific neighbourhood conditions:

• Downtown Heritage & Fallsview Areas: Tight approaches near Clifton Hill require precise grading. We protect heritage stone façades and use hand-finished joints to ensure clean, professional tie-ins with existing curbs and brickwork.
• Mountain Brow & Ridge Roads: On steeper grades where vehicles exert more shear force, we specify a 65 mm heavy-duty HL-3A surface over a 225 mm base to prevent rutting and "shoving" under heavy SUVs.
• Waterfront & River Zones: Proximity to the river means higher soil moisture. We implement a strict 2% cross-fall and perforated edge drains to route runoff away from your foundation and reduce the risk of frost bumps in Niagara’s silty-clay soils.

• Consumer Choice Award® 2025 Winner: We are proud to be recognized as the premier paving contractor in the Hamilton and Niagara region for our unwavering quality and service.
• 47+ Years of Local Expertise: Since 1978, we’ve mastered the unique challenges of Southern Ontario's climate and soil. We don't just pave; we build to last.
• Superior Materials (HL-3A): We use a high-durability HL-3A hot mix designed for residential use. It is smoother and more resistant to "raveling" (surface stone loss) than standard construction mixes.
• 1-Year Workmanship Warranty: We stand behind our work through every season. Your investment is protected against settling or installation defects for a full year.

The City of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Region require a specific Entrance Permit for any curb-cut changes, widening, or new driveway access.

• Permit Management: We handle the application process and coordinate Ontario One Call utility locates for you.
• 2026 Fees: Typical residential entrance permit fees start at $260, plus inspection costs.

We ensure your project meets all municipal engineering standards to protect your property value.
