The work

Concrete Driveway Services in Gloucester

Replacement, widening, aprons and new driveway work across east and southeast Ottawa properties.

Concrete driveway replacement

For a slab that's cracked, sunken, heaving, or spalling — if the base has failed, replacing it is the chance to fix the cause, not just the surface.

Driveway widening and extensions

For a second parking space or squaring off a narrow drive, tied cleanly into the existing slab with any municipal width limit confirmed first.

New concrete driveway installation

For a new build, an addition, or a first-time paved driveway — the finish grade, excavation, and drainage all get set before any concrete goes down.

Base preparation and drainage

Excavating to depth, compacting a base that drains, and grading so water sheds away instead of pooling and freezing underneath — the biggest factor in surviving freeze-thaw.

Reinforcement and control joints

Rebar or mesh sized to the load, plus control joints so the slab cracks where it's meant to rather than at random.

Concrete driveway removal and disposal

Breaking out and hauling away the old slab and any sub-base that won't compact — part of almost every replacement or widening.

Garage aprons and parking pads

Same base, drainage, and reinforcement rules as a full driveway, at a smaller scale — a poorly built apron fails just as fast.

Stamped concrete driveways

Patterns stamped into the surface and sealed, for the look of stone or pavers without the shifting joints.

Exposed aggregate driveways

The surface washed back to expose the stone for texture and grip, finished and cured differently on the same structural base.

Local conditions

Concrete Driveways Built for Gloucester Conditions

Gloucester driveway projects vary because the service area is broad. Some properties are older suburban lots where the existing slab has heaved, settled or scaled; others are newer or semi-rural edges where grading and driveway length matter more. In either case, the slab fails early when the base holds water or was not compacted and reinforced for the load.

Across Blackburn Hamlet, Beacon Hill, Cyrville, Pineview, Hunt Club, Riverside South, Findlay Creek and nearby communities, the quote depends on access, grade, drainage and how the new concrete meets the garage, sidewalk or street. Where a driveway has failed, replacement is not just a new surface; it is a chance to rebuild the structure underneath.

Cost

What Affects the Cost of a Concrete Driveway in Gloucester

In Gloucester, total area, old-slab removal, access, garage-apron work, grade correction and finish type are the main drivers of the quote.

  • Size — More square footage means more material, base, and labour — the biggest single driver of price.
  • Removal and disposal — Breaking out and hauling away an existing slab adds cost before the new one goes in.
  • Excavation depth — How deep we need to dig depends on the existing grade and what the base needs to perform properly.
  • Base condition — A base that's already compromised — soft, wet, contaminated — costs more to correct than one that's sound.
  • Access — Tight lots, narrow side yards, or no room for equipment slow the job and raise labour cost.
  • Finish type — A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or exposed aggregate work.
  • Reinforcement — Rebar versus wire mesh, and how much of it, depends on the load the slab needs to carry.
  • Drainage or slope issues — A lot that doesn't already drain away from the garage or foundation needs extra grading, or a fix built into the base.
  • Aprons, widening, or extensions — Any additional concrete tied into the main driveway adds to the total area and the finishing work.

We don’t post a Gloucester price we haven’t stood on the site to confirm — every job gets a firm written quote after we see the driveway and the access.

Choosing a contractor

Choosing a Concrete Driveway Contractor in Gloucester

A Gloucester driveway quote should explain base, drainage and disposal clearly. Before hiring, ask:

  • What excavation depth is included?
  • What granular base is included?
  • Is removal and disposal of the old driveway included?
  • How is drainage handled?
  • Will the slab be reinforced, and with what?
  • Where will control joints go?
  • Is the quote written, not verbal?
  • Who is responsible for permits or curb/entrance approvals?

A driveway that fails in three winters was never a saving.
