Poured concrete driveways, walkways, patios and garage floor slabs, plus repair and resurfacing of existing concrete. This is poured concrete work — for interlocking pavers, see our sister site, Guelph Interlocking.
Concrete and interlocking get lumped together a lot, but they're different jobs with different tradespeople, different timelines and different price points. Poured concrete is one continuous slab — a driveway, a garage floor, a patio — formed, poured and cured on site. If you're not sure which one your project actually needs, tell us what you're picturing and we'll point you the right way.
New driveway pours and driveway replacements, formed and finished to shed water away from the garage and foundation.
Poured concrete walkways and patios, broom-finished or stamped depending on the look you're after.
New garage floor pours, including reinforcement for a car or workshop load.
Cracked, sunken or spalling concrete repaired or resurfaced instead of torn out and replaced where that's an option.
Stamped patterns and colour options for patios and walkways that want more than plain grey.
Basement and garage flatwork poured as part of a larger renovation or new-build project.
Timing matters more than it seems. Concrete needs the right temperature to cure properly, which puts real pours roughly from spring through fall in this climate — we plan the schedule around that instead of pouring in conditions that won't hold up.
Freeze-thaw is why driveways crack. Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on concrete that wasn't finished, jointed or reinforced properly — control joints and proper base preparation matter more here than in a milder climate, and we don't skip them to save a step.
Driveway work sometimes needs a permit. Depending on the scope (widening a driveway, changing the curb cut), Guelph may require a permit — we'll flag it during the quote if your project needs one.
It's typically walkable in a couple of days and ready for vehicle weight (like a driveway) after about a week, with full strength taking roughly a month — we'll give you exact timing for your specific pour.
Roughly spring through fall, weather-dependent — concrete needs the right temperature to cure properly and we won't pour in conditions that risk the job.
Often yes — resurfacing or crack repair can extend the life of a driveway that isn't structurally compromised. We'll tell you honestly if repair isn't a good option for your specific crack.
Sometimes, depending on scope — a straight replacement usually doesn't, but widening a driveway or changing the curb cut might. We'll flag it during the quote.
Concrete is one poured, continuous slab. Interlocking uses individual pavers laid over a base — different look, different repair process, different price point. If you're not sure which fits your project, ask and we'll point you the right way.
