​Durable Residential Driveway Paving Solutions in North York’s Urban Landscape

Built for the Demands of North York Driveways

In a fast-moving city like North York, your driveway isn’t just a strip of asphalt — it’s a high-traffic, high-visibility zone that deserves to perform and look its best. From the residential enclaves near Bayview Village to busy urban corners near Yonge and Sheppard, Empire Paving delivers custom driveway paving solutions designed for long-term durability and minimal upkeep.

We understand how local freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and traffic patterns impact paving performance. That’s why our driveways are engineered with the right grading, drainage, and materials to handle the challenges of North York’s climate and infrastructure.

Residential Driveway Paving Services

Whether you’re upgrading your existing driveway or building new, we handle every aspect of the process, including:

  • Site Evaluation & Excavation – Soil stability, slope, and sub-base prep tailored to North York lots.
  • Base Installation – Durable granular base layers compacted for strength and drainage.
  • Asphalt Application – Smooth, even paving using premium hot mix for a clean finish.
  • Edging & Transitions – Seamless connections to garages, sidewalks, and curbs.
  • Final Roll & Compact – Compaction using heavy-duty rollers to lock in performance.

We also accommodate specialty requests such as extended parking areas, integrated ramps, or custom layouts for side entrances and laneways.

Local Knowledge Matters

From the steep driveways of Armour Heights to the wide suburban lots of Don Mills, no two properties in North York are alike. We tailor every driveway to its environment — considering lot shape, grading, access routes, and water runoff management.

Our team is familiar with local bylaws and accessibility standards, and we work efficiently to avoid disruption in high-density neighborhoods or narrow streets.
