Asphalt Paving – Install, repair, patch, and seal
- Installing an asphalt pavement or driveway is cheaper than concrete but a durable option, making it a popular choice among homeowners. While asphalt is made of small stones and gravel and bound by bitumen, black tar paving lends a similar look but is made of natural resources like wood or coal.
- With usage, it’s normal to notice cracks or damage to your driveway – the good news is patching asphalt or other asphalt repairs are seamless and can be done with ease. Cold patch asphalt is also often used to repair cracks and lends a seamless finish. To make your asphalt pavement last longer, you can also look into asphalt sealing every couple of years or so, as it helps maintain the look and strength of the driveway.
Concrete Driveways & Floors – Install
- Installing concrete driveways and floors is also something many homeowners choose as it is very durable and can last for up to 50 years. Concrete can also be customized with stains, stamps etc. making it a versatile choice.
Concrete Flatwork – Repair & Resurface
- As with any other material, concrete too can develop cracks or be damaged over time. Your paving contractor can help repair cracks in concrete driveways or provide driveway crack filler. Repairing your concrete driveway can go a long way in maintaining the durability of your driveway.
Gravel or Loose Fill Paving – Install, Spread or Scrape
- For a more natural and rustic look, many homeowners are opting for gravel or loose-fill paving. From pea gravels and crushed stone to crushed rock and edged walkways – there are many ways to lend a unique look to your paving project.
- Many homeowners also choose interlocking stones for a more organized yet natural look. If you already have one which is in need of repairs, your paving contractor can also help you with the interlock repair costs.
Paving Contractors
- When it comes to paving projects, there are many options available with regard to materials, design, area, customization etc. A paving contractor can help you know more about the available options. While the final cost of the project will depend on the specifics, an average paving project in Edmonton can cost anywhere from $800 to $16,000.
When you receive a custom quote for your paving project from contractors on HomeStars, check their customer reviews. Any paving or construction work also needs to follow certain rules and regulations, so hiring a licensed professional is the best way to go about it. You can also visit a company’s profile on HomeStars and check their Star Score and Verification Badge to ensure complete peace of mind while hiring.

Paving the driveway
Anonymous user 10/11/2025 - 9:55 AM
My neighbours and I share an island between our driveway. If I decide to do my half to extend my driveway with asphalt. Would I be able to do that just on my half. I don’t want to join our drive way together. Would that be ok?

How do I attach wooden fence panels to concrete posts without grooves?
Anonymous user 10/11/2025 - 9:55 AM
I'm trying to replace my old wire fence with wooden panels but I want to keep the existing concrete posts. Some additional info: - They don't have grooves to slot panels in. - They don't have holes at the front so I can't just drill through the wood and bolt them on - There are holes on the sides where the wire links through to the next section. - The posts are more boundary markers than proper fence posts. I can't drill new holes. So, is there a way to attach wooden panels with the current setup? What should I look for in a wooden panel to make this work? What kind of screws or bolts would I need? Could I attach something horizontally and then fix the wooden panels to that instead? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
