BUILT FOR ALBERTA WINTERS
Medicine Hat's climate is unforgiving—from scorching summers to brutal freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly installed pavement in just a few years. We engineer every project to withstand these extremes.
Our asphalt mixes, base preparation methods, and compaction techniques are specifically designed for Southern Alberta's temperature swings, preventing the cracking and heaving that plague inferior work.
FREEZE-THAW RESISTANT
Specialized asphalt blends and proper drainage prevent water infiltration and winter damage.
HEAVY-LOAD RATED
Engineered base layers and compaction methods support vehicles from cars to loaded trucks.
SUPERIOR DRAINAGE
Proper grading and drainage systems prevent pooling and extend pavement lifespan significantly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Costs vary based on project size, site conditions, and material choices. Residential driveways typically range from $3-$7 per square foot for asphalt, while commercial projects may differ based on load requirements and thickness. We provide free, detailed estimates with transparent pricing—no hidden fees. Factors affecting cost include excavation needs, base preparation, drainage requirements, and finishing options like sealcoating or line striping.
Project timelines depend on scope and weather conditions. A standard residential driveway typically takes 2-3 days from start to finish (including base prep, paving, and curing time). Larger commercial parking lots may take 1-2 weeks. We schedule work to minimize disruption and provide realistic timelines during the estimate process. Weather delays are possible but rare—we only work in conditions that ensure quality results.
Proper maintenance extends asphalt lifespan significantly. We recommend: • Sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against UV damage, water infiltration, and oxidation • Crack sealing as soon as cracks appear to prevent water damage and expansion • Regular cleaning to remove debris and prevent staining • Prompt pothole repair to avoid larger structural issues With proper care, quality asphalt paving can last 20-30 years in Alberta's climate.
Yes. All our asphalt and concrete installations include a comprehensive workmanship warranty. Residential projects carry a 2-year warranty, while commercial projects include a 3-year warranty on materials and installation. Our warranty covers defects in workmanship including cracking, settling, or base failure under normal use conditions. We also provide maintenance service agreements for commercial clients to protect their investment long-term.
The optimal paving season runs from late April through October when temperatures consistently stay above 10°C. Asphalt requires warm temperatures for proper compaction and curing. We book projects year-round but schedule installation during ideal weather windows. Spring and fall offer moderate temperatures and lower humidity—perfect conditions for paving. Summer works well too, though extreme heat requires adjusted scheduling. Book early to secure your preferred timeline, especially for spring projects.
Absolutely. We regularly extend existing driveways and parking areas, carefully matching the grade and ensuring proper bonding between old and new asphalt. New asphalt will initially appear darker than weathered pavement but will blend over time as it oxidizes. For best results, we recommend sealcoating both the new and existing sections together after curing to create a uniform appearance and protection layer.
