The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that cracks by its second spring is hidden under the surface: excavation depth, stone thickness and the number of compaction passes.
The ranges Greater Montréal contractors published in 2025 and 2026. Your exact price depends on the area, access and travel.
Most driveways are paved in a day. When the base needs rebuilding, allow a day of preparation, then paving.
Before
We come take a look: we measure, probe the base and check where the water goes. We show you what we find.

Day 1
We remove the old surface and any soil that won’t hold, to the required depth, and set the drainage slopes.
Depth set by the soil
Day 1
MG-20 (0-¾) crushed stone, compacted in layers. Usually 6 to 8 in. for a residential driveway.
MG-20 · 6–8 in.
Day 2
Laid with a paver for an even thickness. Not spread by shovel.
Paver
Day 2
Rolled before it cools. A plate compactor is no substitute for a roller.
2 to 3 in. compacted
Done
Clean edges, tidy joins at the garage, sidewalk and street. The site is cleaned; you get the care instructions and the warranty.
Work guaranteed
Same surface, same winter. Left: 3 in. of poorly compacted stone. Right: 8 in. of MG-20 compacted in layers, sloped to shed water.
Drag to turn.
Summer. Both driveways look great. In June you can’t tell them apart.
Fall rain. Water finds the cracks. The thin base holds on to it; the thick, drained base lets it go.
Freeze. Water freezes and grows by about 9%. The ice lifts the asphalt from below.
Thaw. The ice melts, the surface drops and breaks: dips and spider-web cracks. On the right, nothing moved.
Tap what looks like your driveway. We’ll tell you what it means, even if the answer is “a small repair will do.”
The condition of the base decides, and we tell you even when it earns us less. 2026 prices published in Greater Montréal.

The season is open. Dates are booked in the order quotes are accepted.
Hot repairs (cracks, potholes, edges) can still be done for a few weeks after paving ends.

Built right, an asphalt driveway lasts 15 to 20 years or more in Quebec. The 6 benchmarks to demand, how to read the damage, and the cost per year of each fix.
Read
What to do for your asphalt driveway before the snow, during winter and at the thaw: cracks to close before the freeze, markers, de-icers, the plough blade, Tempo shelters and heavy trucks in spring.
ReadAsphalt $6–10/ft², concrete about $10–11/ft² as actually paid, pavers $22–35/ft² in 2026. What each surface does in winter and for upkeep, and the cities that require or favour pavers.
ReadIn Greater Montréal, a fully rebuilt driveway costs about $6 to $10 per square foot, or $2,400 to $4,000 for a 400 ft² example before tax. Resurfacing a sound base costs $3–5.50/ft² and small sealcoating jobs often have a minimum charge. Detailed references are in the calculator; your quote may differ.
For small crack-sealing jobs, one contractor publishes a $250–400 visit minimum. Potholes need pricing by area, depth and travel.
It depends on the weather. Paving needs dry ground and warm enough weather; hot repairs (cracks, potholes, edges) can be done a little later in the season. Send a request: we’ll tell you what can be done before the freeze, and what can wait.

Most residential driveways are paved in a day. If a new base is needed, allow a day of preparation, then paving within the following days.
Usually you can walk on it after 24 to 48 hours and drive gently after about three days. In hot weather, wait longer before parking in the same spot.
Yes. The work is warranted against workmanship and material defects, and the terms are in your quote.
In most cities, not to redo a driveway at the same size; to widen it, yes, and the city cuts the curb. We handle the paperwork, and each city page sums up what it requires.
Usually 6 to 8 in. of compacted crushed stone and 2 to 3 in. of compacted asphalt for a residential driveway; more for a commercial lot. The planned thicknesses are in the quote, after compaction.
