On a slope, concrete has one clear advantage: it holds the line you form it to. We set the grade and the forms first, because on a hill the finished level is the whole job and correcting it afterwards means breaking it out.
On a very steep run, or a long lane that gets ploughed every winter, asphalt often costs less and handles the conditions well, so plenty of Bolton properties end up with asphalt on the climb and concrete at the house where the finish and the edge matter. We self-perform both and will quote either, or the two together on one schedule.
Down in Mayfield West the problem is flat and thin: builder asphalt cracking at the edges. Those are straightforward replacements, and concrete is worth pricing while the excavation is open.
Full driveways and larger pours are the bulk of what we do here. Smaller work gets quoted too, and on a sloped lot it is often worth handling the walkway and the steps in the same visit.
We handle concrete driveways across Bolton — including Bolton North Hill, South Hill, Old Bolton core, the Humber Valley, and Mayfield West edge, and the streets and properties around the Humber River valley, the Bolton Mill Street core, and the Caledon Trailway.
