Asphalt Paving in Toronto

Toronto packs everything a paver deals with into one city — the narrow laneway driveways of The Annex and Riverdale, the heritage frontages of Forest Hill, the post-industrial lots of Liberty Village and the Distillery District, and the lakeside grades down by The Beaches. Magnum works all of it, from a single Leslieville parking pad to a commercial lot operating under live traffic.

In the older core — The Annex, Riverdale, Leslieville — driveways and laneways are tight, the trees are protected, and there is rarely room to stage equipment, so the work gets planned around the street rather than the other way around. Forest Hill and the established west-end neighbourhoods are curb-appeal jobs: long approaches, stone borders, and homeowners who notice every seam, so we finish the edges and transitions to match the property.

Liberty Village, the Distillery District, and the King-Parliament commercial pockets run on lots that cannot close — restaurants, offices, and retail that need their parking even while it is being repaved. We phase those jobs, work overnight and weekends where the city allows, and build the base and drainage a high-traffic downtown lot actually needs so it is not failing by the next freeze.

Downtown freeze-thaw, road salt, and constant load are hard on asphalt, and the Gardiner-adjacent and waterfront sites near The Beaches add drainage and grade problems most suburban lots never see. We grade to the catch basins, get the slope right the first time, and tell you straight whether a section needs full replacement or whether a proper repair and sealcoat will carry it a few more seasons.

Neighbourhoods we cover in Toronto include The Annex, Leslieville, Riverdale, Forest Hill, The Beaches, and Liberty Village, along with the streets and properties around the CN Tower, the Gardiner Expressway, and the Distillery District.
