Concrete driveways & walkways in Ottawa

Most residential driveways run from $16/sq ft, so a typical single-car driveway (around 600 sq ft) lands roughly $9,500–$12,000 including base prep, reinforcement and finish. Price moves with removal of the old slab, site access, and finish type (broom, exposed or stamped).

If the damage is surface-level and the base is sound, repair or resurfacing is the honest call and costs a fraction of replacement. If the slab is broken through, sunken, or the base has failed, patching is money you won't get back — we tell you plainly which situation you're in.

Almost always the base, not the concrete. Without a properly compacted granular base built to frost depth, and control joints placed where water actually drains off your lot, the slab has nowhere to move and cracks wherever it wants. We build the base first — the pour is the easy part.

Foot traffic after about 24–48 hours, vehicles after roughly 7 days for most residential pours — we barricade it and give you exact times for your specific mix and weather.

Only if the cracking is surface-level and the slab hasn't broken through. A resurfaced overlay bonds to sound concrete underneath; it won't hold over a slab that's structurally cracked or sitting on a failed base — that's a replacement, and we'll say so rather than sell you a short-term fix.
