Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new driveway cost in Ottawa?
Driveway costs in Ottawa depend on the material. Asphalt driveways typically cost $4-$8 per square foot, making a standard two-car driveway around $3,000-$6,000. Interlock driveways run $12-$25 per square foot, or $8,000-$18,000 for a typical installation. Concrete driveways fall between $8-$15 per square foot. Costs vary based on excavation, base preparation, grading, and drainage requirements.
How long does an asphalt driveway last in Ottawa?
Properly installed and maintained asphalt driveways last 15-25 years in Ottawa, though our 30-50 annual freeze-thaw cycles are the primary factor that shortens lifespan. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years, prompt crack filling, and proper drainage are essential. Interlock driveways can last 25-50 years since individual pavers flex with frost movement.
Do I need a permit for a driveway in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, you generally need a driveway entrance permit from the City for a new driveway or to widen an existing one where it meets the municipal road. Standard resurfacing or repaving within the current footprint typically does not require a permit. If regrading affects drainage onto neighbouring properties, you may also need approval.
What is the best time of year to pave a driveway in Ottawa?
The ideal driveway paving season in Ottawa runs from May through October, when temperatures are consistently above 10°C. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to compact properly. Late spring and early fall are the sweet spot -- warm enough for proper installation but not extremely hot. Ottawa paving contractors typically book 4-8 weeks out during peak season.
