The lower city and Westdale carry genuinely old housing stock. Driveways there are often narrow, sometimes shared, and sitting on base nobody has records for. That comes out entirely rather than being poured over.
On the Mountain and out toward Stoney Creek the lots are wider and the subdivisions newer, and the escarpment means grade decides the outcome. We set the forms to the finished grade first, because on a concrete slab the level is fixed the moment it is poured.
Ancaster and Dundas bring longer, often curved driveways on larger lots. On that much surface the joint layout matters, so we plan it before the pour rather than cutting to whatever is convenient afterwards.
Air-entrained mix for freeze-thaw and road salt, and a week before vehicles go back on it.
We handle concrete driveways across Hamilton — including Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Westdale, and the Hamilton Mountain, and the streets and properties around the Niagara Escarpment, the Royal Botanical Gardens, and Bayfront Park.
