Asphalt Services - Driveway Paving Pickering
OSAZ provides driveway paving, asphalt paving, driveway sealing, crack filling, and repairs for homeowners and businesses throughout Pickering. As a Durham Region team based nearby in Ajax, we’re regularly on the road handling driveway paving Pickering properties need to hold up through harsh freeze-thaw winters.
Driveway paving & new installation
Full-depth removal and replacement for Pickering driveways and commercial lots. We prepare and grade a proper sub-base before any asphalt goes down, since a rushed base is the most common reason a driveway fails early. Whether you are replacing a cracked, aging driveway or paving a new one, our crews size the job to your property and give you a clear quote before work starts.
Crack filling & asphalt repair
Hot-pour crack sealing keeps water from working its way under the surface and expanding cracks into larger structural damage over a Pickering winter. We also handle pothole patching and localized surface repairs, so a small problem gets fixed before it turns into a full resurfacing job.
Asphalt sealing & sealcoating
An oil-based sealer applied in two coats protects your driveway from road salt, UV oxidation, and snowplow damage. Most Pickering driveways benefit from sealing every two to three years, depending on sun exposure and how much salt or de-icer gets used on the surface each winter.
Parking lot services (commercial)
Sealing, patching, pothole repair, and line painting for Pickering commercial properties, plazas, and strata corporations. We work around your operating hours to minimize downtime for tenants and customers.

Where We Serve
Proudly serving homeowners and businesses throughout Pickering, including Bay Ridges, Amberlea, Rougemount, Dunbarton, Woodlands, and Liverpool. We also serve Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and the surrounding Durham Region.
If you are planning to widen an existing driveway rather than repave it as-is, keep in mind that driveway widening often requires municipal approval, and the City of Pickering specifically requires a permit with a possible curb cut depending on your property. We can talk through what that means for your project when we come out for a quote.

FAQs
How do I know if my driveway needs resurfacing or full replacement in Pickering?
If your driveway has minor surface cracks or fading but the foundation is still solid, resurfacing may be enough to restore its appearance and performance. However, if there are widespread cracks, potholes, drainage issues, or sections that are sinking, a full replacement is usually the better long-term solution. A professional inspection can determine the condition of the base and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your Pickering property.
How long does an asphalt driveway last in Pickering, Ontario?
A professionally installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Pickering’s freeze-thaw winters make a strong gravel base, proper drainage, and quality installation especially important. Sealing the surface every few years and repairing small cracks early will help you get the full lifespan out of your driveway.
How long does asphalt paving take, and when can I drive on it?
Most residential driveway paving projects in Pickering are completed within one to two days, depending on the size of the job and weather conditions. After installation, plan to wait at least 48 to 72 hours before driving on the new asphalt. In hot summer weather, waiting a bit longer helps prevent tire marks and surface damage while the asphalt fully cures.
What affects the cost of asphalt paving in Pickering?
Cost depends on the size of the driveway or lot, the condition of the existing surface, excavation requirements, grading and drainage, asphalt thickness, and how accessible the site is for equipment. The most accurate way to get pricing is an on-site assessment, since photos or square footage alone do not capture issues like poor drainage or a failing sub-base.
Do I need a permit to widen or replace my driveway in Pickering?
Replacing an existing driveway in the same footprint generally does not require a permit, but widening a driveway does require City of Pickering approval, and may involve a curb cut depending on your property. We can flag what applies to your project during your free quote.
