Concrete Driveways in Markham

Markham spans the heritage streets of Unionville and Markham Village and the newer planned communities of Cornell, Berczy Village and Cathedraltown, and concrete lands differently across that range.

5.0 · 27 Google reviews

In Unionville and Markham Village the frontage matters. Older homes, mature trees, and driveways where the finish and the edge have to suit the property. Concrete is formed to what is there, with the existing walkway and the garage threshold setting the line.

Cornell, Berczy and Cathedraltown are a different job. Builder asphalt laid thin over a base that was never built for a long life, now failing at the edges. That is a full replacement, so concrete is worth pricing while the excavation is open.

On the larger Cathedraltown approaches the slab is wide enough that the joint layout reads as part of the design. We set it before the pour rather than cutting afterwards.

No two Markham driveways prep the same way, so we quote the work the lot actually needs rather than a number off the curb.

We handle concrete driveways across Markham — including Unionville, Cornell, Markham Village, Berczy Village, and Cathedraltown, and the streets and properties around Main Street Unionville, the Markham Civic Centre, and Toogood Pond.

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.
