Concrete Driveways in East York

East York driveways are narrow, often shared, and hemmed in by trees that have had decades to grow, from Leaside through Woodbine Heights and Pape Village to Crescent Town.

Leaside was laid out between the wars and the driveways show it. Concrete here is formed to exactly what is there, which usually means the neighbour's edge, a mature root and an existing walkway all set the line before anything is poured.

On a mutual or shared drive the work needs agreement between the households before it starts. We are used to that conversation and would rather have it early than halfway through an excavation.

Staging is half the job on a street this tight. We size the crew and the equipment to the lane, keep material off the neighbouring frontage, and get the forms stripped without the block becoming a work site for a fortnight.

You are off the driveway for about a week. Foot traffic is fine after a day or two, vehicles at around seven days.

We handle concrete driveways across East York — including Leaside, Pape Village, Crescent Town, Woodbine Heights, and Topham Park, and the streets and properties around the Danforth, Taylor Creek Park, and Stan Wadlow Park.

Frequently asked questions

Concrete or asphalt — which driveway should I choose?
Concrete costs more up front, lasts longer, holds a clean edge, and never needs resealing. Asphalt is cheaper, faster to install, and easier to repair in sections. We install both, so we will tell you which one suits your site, your budget, and how you actually use the driveway instead of steering you to one.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic is usually fine after 24 to 48 hours, and most driveways take passenger vehicles at around seven days. Concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after that, so we ask you to keep heavy trucks, dumpsters, and equipment off it for the first month.
Will a concrete driveway crack?
Every concrete slab moves. The installer's job is to control where. We cut control joints at planned spacing so the slab relieves stress along a straight line you barely notice, rather than a random crack across the middle. Base prep and the right mix do the rest.
Do you take on smaller concrete work as well as full driveways?
Yes. Most of our concrete work is full driveways, widenings and larger installs, so that is what we are set up for and where our pricing is most competitive. Smaller pours, walkways and aprons get quoted too, and if you are already having other work done it usually makes sense to handle them at the same time. Tell us what you need and we will price it.
