Asphalt paving in Toronto
AMPAC Paving & Concrete has been paving driveways, parking lots and private roads in Toronto since 1998. We are 30–45 minutes away, so we can get out to measure quickly and our crews start early.
Paving conditions in Toronto
Toronto's older neighbourhoods sit on lacustrine clay and fill from a century of servicing, so base conditions change from one lot to the next on the same street. We probe the base before quoting, so you are not paying for asphalt laid over a problem that will come straight back.
Downtown and midtown driveways are narrow, often shared, and frequently sit below the sidewalk grade — which means water runs toward the house unless the grade is rebuilt. Laneway access off streets like Dupont, St. Clair and Danforth restricts truck size, so we stage material and bring smaller equipment. Anything touching the public boulevard or a curb cut goes through Toronto's Right of Way Management, and we pull the permit.

Paving questions from Toronto owners
How much does a driveway cost in Toronto?
We do not quote Toronto driveways over the phone, because the price is set by things you cannot see in a photo — base condition, how much material has to be trucked off, access, and the mat thickness the use requires. The site visit is free, takes about twenty minutes, and produces an itemized written quote within 48 hours.
Do I need a permit to pave my driveway in Toronto?
For work entirely on your own property, usually not. Anything touching the municipal boulevard, a curb cut, or a widening that extends toward the road generally does. In Toronto that goes through City of Toronto Right of Way Management for boulevard, curb cut and widening work, and we handle the application — the fee appears as a line item on your quote.
How soon can you start in Toronto?
We are 30–45 minutes from our Richmond Hill yard, so site visits in Toronto are usually booked within a week. Paving season runs April to late November; the last few weeks fill up first, so an early call gets you a better slot.
