Concrete driveways in Thunder Bay
A driveway takes more abuse than anything else you own — frost, road salt, plow blades and loaded trucks. We build ours from the base up so they stay flat and drain away from the house.

What you get
- Breakout and disposal of the old driveway
- Granular base, compaction and grade set away from the house
- Rebar or mesh reinforcement with proper control joints

- Broom finish, edged aprons and a tidied-up boulevard

Questions
Concrete driveways — straight answers.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Thunder Bay?
It comes down to size, thickness, removal of the old surface and base work, so we measure on site and give you one itemized number — no per-foot guessing over the phone.
How long does a driveway take?
Most driveways are three to five working days from tear-out to finish, weather depending.
When can I park on it?
Foot traffic after 24 to 48 hours. Wait about seven days before parking a vehicle on the new slab.
Will it crack?
Concrete moves, so we control where it cracks with proper base compaction, reinforcement and saw-cut or tooled joints instead of leaving it to chance.
Can you pour a driveway late in the season?
Yes, with heated mix, blankets and hoarding when the temperature calls for it. If your job is better held to spring, we will tell you.
