Driveways
Driveways Built to Carry Cars Through Toronto Winters
A driveway carries the weight of vehicles every day, then spends winter under snow, salt and repeated freezing and thawing. When the base underneath is too thin or holds water, the surface cracks, sinks in the wheel tracks or heaves where frost pushes it up. Toronto Roofing & Masonry installs new driveways and replaces failing ones, with most of the effort going into excavation and a base deep enough for the load.
We discuss the surface you want and explain the options that suit your home, including interlocking pavers, natural stone and poured concrete. Edging keeps the surface from spreading, and the grade is set so water runs to the street or a drain rather than toward the garage or the house. If your downspouts empty onto the driveway, we look at that too, because it often explains ice build-up and settling.
What's included
What Our Driveway Service Includes
What the work covers, explained to you before anything starts.
- Removing the existing driveway surface and the failed base beneath it.
- Excavating to a depth suited to vehicle loads and the soil on your property.
- Installing and compacting a granular base in lifts to resist rutting and frost heave.
- Fitting edge restraints or borders so the driveway holds its shape at the sides.

Why choose us
What You Get When We Build Your Driveway
A Base Sized for the Load
Driveways fail from below. We size the excavation and base for cars and the soil we find, so the surface is not relying on a thin layer.
Water Sent to the Right Place
We plan where water goes across the driveway, so it does not pool by the garage door or freeze into a sheet by the steps.
Surface Choices Explained
We compare how pavers, natural stone and poured concrete handle salt, repairs and upkeep, so you choose with the full picture.
An Estimate Before We Break Ground
You see the scope, materials and base work in an estimate before your old driveway is removed.
