Driveways & Walkways in Windsor

Driveways & Walkways for Windsor properties

Windsor's century homes, tight city lots, rear alleys and big east and south end yards mean every kind of landscape, often on the same street. Windsor driveways range from narrow single lanes between older houses to wide double driveways in the east and south ends. Rear-alley parking pads behind older homes are a popular interlock job, and we confirm municipal rules before any work near the street.

What's included

Interlock driveways and front walkways built on a deep base for vehicle weight, with patterns that handle turning tires. Depending on your property, that can include:

• Removal
• Deep excavation
• Vehicle-rated patterns
• Borders and inlays
• Drainage
• Edge restraint and joint sand
• Check the rules.
• Remove and dig.
• Base and lay.
• Compact and sand.

Local details in Windsor

Windsor's hardscaping jobs often replace cracked concrete patios, crumbling front steps and old asphalt behind and in front of older homes. On heavy clay, a deep, properly compacted base is what keeps interlock flat through freeze and thaw.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for driveways & walkways in Windsor, get clear answers to these before you book:

• How deep is the base for vehicle weight?
• Which paver pattern do you recommend for a driveway, and why?
• Do I need a permit to widen my driveway or change the curb cut?
• Where will the water drain?
• What warranty do you give on settling or shifting?

Access, permits and local rules

Before any job we look at how equipment and materials will get in. On older Windsor streets, that's often a narrow side yard, a gate or the rear alley, and some jobs need smaller machines or wheelbarrows. Every dig starts with free utility locates through Ontario One Call. Work on the boulevard, driveway widening, curb cuts and city trees usually needs the City of Windsor's approval, and riverfront properties can fall under Essex Region Conservation Authority rules, so we check first.
