8 Best Asphalt Paving Services in Ottawa

Every part of your home deserves an upgrade once in a while — yes, even your driveway. That’s why we’re going to be taking a closer look at some of the best asphalt paving services in Ottawa today.

We did some research on FAQs about asphalt paving and compiled them at the end of this listicle for reference. 

But first, let’s discuss the costs associated with this particular service in the next section.

How Much Is Asphalt Paving in Ottawa?

Asphalt is typically sold by square footage as indicated in the table below (costs are based on regional averages). Most commercial asphalt paving in Ottawa requires delivery per ton, cubic yard, or truckload.

If it’s a simple residential asphalt paving, you can expect to pay for labour by the hour, though it really depends on the asphalt paving company.

ASPHALT PAVING SERVICE	ESTIMATED COST
Asphalt	$3 – $10 per square foot $40 – $80 per ton $80 – $160 per cubic yard $500 – $1,800 per bulk truckload
Asphalt delivery	$40 – $80 per hour $4 – $9 per ton
Labour	$40 – $55 per hour
Asphalt driveway	$1,500 – $4,500
Interlock patio/walkway	$23 – $30 per square foot

Paving companies will usually charge by the type of asphalt, consistency, and thickness required of a project. This is why it’s great that most of them offer free estimates at no obligation to the customer.

Customer Reviews

Here’s what their satisfied clients have to say:

“17 August 2023. My driveway had sunk dramatically and had lots of other issues despite it being only 10 years old (age of the home). I called the company for a quote and the rep showed up on time and gave me a comprehensive explanation and quote on the spot. I did get a second quote which was almost double the quote from J. Wilson (they said I need to adjust my walkway’s height which turned out to be unnecessary). J Wilson had done two driveways up the road from me (Stonewater Bay Carleton Place) about a month ago, I just saw the finished results but they both looked great. J Wilson removed my old driveway 15 Aug and due to an equipment issue were unable to pave it the same day. Despite this they were able to schedule me in for the afternoon of the next day 16 Aug and completed the job late in the afternoon. I was surprised by the amount of equipment that was required and the robust size of the team. I watched the entire operation and spoke with a number of the crew throughout the operation including Eric the Foreman. One pleasant surprise was that the crew with I think one exception had worked together for the company for many years and mostly as one crew. With the work climate these days this really tells me that the company must be great to work for based on how they keep employees. Everyone I dealt with was extremely professional and nice. The pics tell the final story but the end result was excellent I am extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend this company. Thanks to the owners Jason and Dana who I needed to deal with due to the equipment hiccup that resulted in the requirement for the second day and to the Foreman Eric and his entire crew. I served in the military for 35 years and saw a lot of professionals carrying out tasks and this company not only met but exceeded my expectations. Thank you.” — Mike Burke

“We hired this company to pave our parking/driveway. They were quick with a quote. They were professional but super friendly. They were able to fit us in at the end of the season. The boys that came were not only professional, courteous, friendly, hardworking and fast but they provided some suggestions for our special needs daughter to make everything easier. The follow up was also friendly and professional. They quality is superb and we have referred them to other people.” — Monique Alexa Rivard

2. Pro Pavingstone Inc.

Pro Pavingstone Inc. is practically a one-stop-shop for all things paving and landscaping related. It caters to both commercial and residential clients with services ranging from asphalt paving and repairs to outdoor kitchen installation.

A look at its portfolio of works for past clients shows clean and professionally done driveways, walkways, pathways, retaining walls, decks, and steps. We appreciate the captions included in the pictures mentioning the materials and process used for each project.

But what’s really great about Pro Pavingstone is how it doesn’t require any kind of payment from customers until after the job is done! That’s quite a vote of confidence for the quality of its work right there.

It’s a bit of a letdown that its snow plowing and removal services are geared for commercial clients only, though.

It doesn’t list its prices but offers a free estimate and custom services. Apart from accepting credit cards as its only payment method, we find little else to complain about this BBB-accredited company.

Its full range of paving services includes asphalt paving and grinding, asphalt resurfacing, concrete work, sealing and crack filling, and interlock paving. What’s more, JND offers emergency services (though strictly on an appointment basis).

We like how the company carefully explains each of its services on the website including the processes involved. It would be great to indicate some base pricing information for them, but the offer of free quotes should suffice.

Customer Reviews

Nice, polite, professional

“After getting quotes from different companies I decided to go with JND paving for my asphalt driveway. The work was just finished and I must say the experience from the first phone call to having the work completed was great. My driveway looks amazing!

Thank you JND!” – Jennifer Warren

CanArk emphasizes the importance of having a strong foundation in preparation for asphalt paving of commercial and residential driveways. Its preparation process includes using the highest grade of asphalt along with excavating and building an above-average sub-base.

We appreciate how it explains its asphalt paving process carefully on the website. It even throws in some care tips for newly paved asphalt driveways!

To underline the quality of its work, there’s a portfolio of past work that its team has done for clients. The downside is that there are no captions that could give more info on the projects.

Black Tar can provide free quotes to potential clients, as well. 

We applaud the lifetime warranty it gives which the company claims to be the first of its kind in the industry. This warranty covers manufacturer and workmanship defects like cracking, heaving and dipping for residential paving surfaces.

It also offers after-care support by way of asphalt maintenance services. These include seal coating, pothole repair, crack sealing, and ramp installations.
