Hamilton is a big, varied city split by the escarpment — the lower-city neighbourhoods and Bayfront below, the residential sprawl of the Hamilton Mountain above, and the established communities of Ancaster, Dundas, and Stoney Creek around the edges. Magnum paves the driveways and commercial lots across all of it.
The lower-city and Westdale lots are older, with driveways laid generations ago over a shallow base that is cracking and shifting — usually due for a proper replacement to the right depth. Up on the Mountain and out in Ancaster and Stoney Creek, the newer subdivisions tend to have thin builder-grade asphalt failing at the edges, and the escarpment grades mean drainage has to be right or water runs where it should not.
Hamilton's industrial belt along the bayfront and the commercial corridors on the Mountain and through Dundas carry heavy truck and daily traffic, and those lots and yards take a beating. We build the sub-base, mix, and slope a high-load site actually needs, phase large lots so the business keeps running, and grade to the drains so water moves.
Hamilton's escarpment grades, the clay-and-shale base, and freeze-thaw move asphalt around, so the sub-base does the real work. We get the grading and compaction right the first time — near the Royal Botanical Gardens or a single Ancaster driveway alike — and we are straight about whether a lot needs full reconstruction or a repair and sealcoat will carry it.
Neighbourhoods we cover in Hamilton include Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Westdale, and the Hamilton Mountain, along with the streets and properties around the Niagara Escarpment, the Royal Botanical Gardens, and Bayfront Park.
