Sherbrooke & the Eastern Townships
Your driveway is judged at five years, not five days
On the day it goes down, every driveway looks the same. What separates them is buried underneath — base thickness, compaction, and the slope it was given. That is the part our quote actually writes down.
What we do
Six services, one surface
Most of them are maintenance rather than construction — and the maintenance ones are where the money is actually saved. Open any of them to see what it covers.
01
Residential paving
New or rebuilt private driveways on a verified granular base, with an asphalt thickness and a drainage profile built for our winters.

02
Commercial paving
Parking lots and drive lanes, phased so the business stays open, with a structure sized for the vehicle loads that actually use it.
Full details →
03
Asphalt sealcoating
Sealer applied on a clean dry surface, at the right point in the season, after the cure time new asphalt absolutely requires.
Full details →
04
Pothole repair
Square-cut to sound material, the cause under the hole corrected, hot mix compacted in lifts rather than a patch that pops out in spring.
Full details →
05
Crack sealing
Cleaned and filled with hot rubberized sealant, the cheapest intervention there is and the one that pushes a full rebuild furthest away.
Full details →
06
Line striping
Stalls, lanes, arrows and accessible spaces laid out to regulated dimensions, in paint or epoxy depending on traffic.

How we work
We turn down days the calendar says are fine
Hot mix has to be compacted before it cools past a threshold. An afternoon at fifteen degrees followed by a night at two is not a paving day, even though nothing would look wrong on the day. The client sees the difference the following spring, and by then it cannot be fixed.
- Base thickness and materials written in the quote, by lift
- Coring before deciding between resurfacing and rebuild
- Levels shot before the final course, so puddles do not come back
- No sealer on asphalt laid the same year — we say so and lose the sale
- Commercial work phased so the lot never fully closes
The numbers that matter
What actually decides how long it lasts
Coverage
Eight towns across the Townships
The constraint changes from one to the next: slopes in Sherbrooke, a high water table in Magog, swelling clay in Windsor, shade that shifts the sealing window in Orford.
Reviews
Often about a job we refused to do
They refused to pave in October because the overnight temperature was dropping too low. I was disappointed at the time. My neighbour had his done that same week by someone else and it is already cracked.
My driveway had been settling for three years. Instead of laying asphalt over it, they dug, found a six-inch base instead of eighteen, and showed it to me before rebuilding.
A 40-stall commercial lot. The job ran two days longer than planned because of rain, but they phased the work so half the stalls stayed usable the whole time.
A long country driveway, 90 metres. They priced it by the square metre with the lift structure and truck count spelled out. No extras at the end, which is rare in this trade.
I asked for sealer on my new asphalt and they told me to wait until the following year. They could have taken my money on the spot. They explained the cure time and I came back in spring.
The crack sealing held for two years, as advertised. They told me from the start it was a delay and not a permanent fix, and that is exactly what it turned out to be.

The paving window in Quebec is shorter than people think
It is not the date that decides, it is the ground temperature and the overnight low. Paving too late gives asphalt that never reached its density.
Two inches of asphalt over six inches of nothing
Asphalt thickness is what the client looks at. The base underneath is what decides whether the driveway lasts fifteen years or four.
Resurfacing a parking lot without closing the business
Phasing costs a bit more in mobilization and saves far more in lost sales. Here is how a lot gets divided up.
