Asphalt paving in Ajax
AMPAC Paving & Concrete has been paving driveways, parking lots and private roads in Ajax since 1998. We are 40–50 minutes away, so we can get out to measure quickly and our crews start early.
Paving conditions in Ajax
Ajax's lakeshore soils are sandier than York Region's clay, which drains better but offers less support under a thin mat. We probe the base before quoting, so you are not paying for asphalt laid over a problem that will come straight back.
Sandy subgrade means compaction discipline matters more than depth alone — granular has to be placed and compacted in lifts or the surface will ripple under traffic within a season. Salt spray and freeze-thaw near the lake accelerate surface oxidation, so sealcoating gives a real return here.

Paving questions from Ajax owners
How much does a driveway cost in Ajax?
We do not quote Ajax driveways over the phone, because the price is set by things you cannot see in a photo — base condition, how much material has to be trucked off, access,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 Ajax?
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 Ajax that goes through Town of Ajax for entrance and boulevard permits, and we handle the application — the fee appears as a line item on your quote.
How soon can you start in Ajax?
We are 40–50 minutes from our Richmond Hill yard, so site visits in Ajax 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.
