Question 1

How long does an asphalt driveway last in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

A properly installed and maintained asphalt driveway can last 15 to 25 years in the Greater Toronto Area. Regular sealing every 2 to 3 years and timely crack repair help protect it from harsh Canadian winters and extend its lifespan.

Question 2

Is interlock better than asphalt for my driveway?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your priorities. Asphalt is more affordable and quick to install, while interlock offers a premium appearance, strong durability, and easier spot repairs. Many homeowners choose interlock for its aesthetics and long-term value.

Question 3

What is the average cost of driveway sealing in the GTA?

Accepted Answer

Driveway sealing costs vary depending on the size and condition of the surface. For most homeowners in Toronto and surrounding areas, sealing is a cost-effective way to protect the driveway and avoid more expensive repairs or replacement later.

Question 4

How often should I seal my asphalt driveway?

Accepted Answer

In Ontario's climate, asphalt driveways should generally be sealed every 2 to 3 years. This helps protect against UV damage, water penetration, oil stains, and cracking caused by freeze-thaw cycles.

Question 5

What causes cracks in asphalt driveways?

Accepted Answer

Cracks in asphalt are commonly caused by water infiltration, temperature changes, ground movement, and normal wear and tear. Repairing cracks early helps prevent more serious and costly damage.

Question 6

Can asphalt cracks and potholes be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most cracks and minor potholes can be repaired using professional methods. Timely repairs help extend the life of the driveway and reduce the likelihood of needing full replacement.

Question 7

Why are my interlock stones sinking or uneven?

Accepted Answer

Sinking or shifting interlock is usually caused by poor base preparation, drainage problems, or freeze-thaw cycles. Professional lifting, re-leveling, and re-compacting the base can restore the driveway and help prevent future movement.

Question 8

Do interlock driveways need sealing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sealing an interlock driveway every 2 to 3 years helps protect against staining, fading, weed growth, and erosion of joint sand. It also enhances the colour and gives the surface a clean, finished appearance.

Question 9

How do I prevent weeds between interlock pavers?

Accepted Answer

Weeds often appear when joint sand erodes over time. Re-sanding with polymeric sand and applying a high-quality sealant can significantly reduce weed growth and help keep the driveway looking neat and low-maintenance.

Question 10

How do I protect my driveway during winter?

Accepted Answer

To protect your driveway during winter, avoid harsh metal blades, use ice melt products carefully, keep the surface clean, and make sure the driveway is properly sealed before the cold season. This is especially important in areas with frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
