A fresh asphalt driveway built to hold up to capital-region winters. We pave for homeowners right across Fredericton, from the Northside in Nashwaaksis and Devon to New Maryland and out along the Hanwell corridor. Family-run since 1990, and the same crew that quotes the job is the one that lays the asphalt.
Fredericton sits in the Saint John River valley, and the ground here behaves the way river-valley ground does. Spring runoff, heavy clay in some pockets, sandy fill in others. A driveway that drains properly in Silverwood is built a little differently than one off a steeper lot in New Maryland, and we plan for that before the first load of gravel goes down.
We have been paving Fredericton driveways since 1990, so we are not guessing at how your street behaves. We grade for drainage, compact the base properly, and lay asphalt at a depth that survives the freeze-thaw cycle that hammers this region every March. Skimp on the base and the cracks find you within two winters. We would rather do it once and do it right.
This is the Fredericton version of our broader driveway work. For the full overview of how we approach asphalt driveways, see our main driveway paving page. To see everything we cover across the city, the Fredericton hub lists it all in one place.
The thing that wrecks driveways in Fredericton is not traffic. It is water getting into the asphalt, freezing, expanding, and prying it apart. Between the November thaws and the deep January cold, a driveway here runs through that cycle dozens of times before spring ever arrives.
We build against it from the ground up. A clean, well-compacted gravel base gives the asphalt something solid to sit on, a proper slope sends meltwater off the surface instead of letting it pool, and tidy edge work keeps the sides from crumbling where the plough catches them. The payoff is a driveway that still looks right after the snow clears in the Vanier and Hanwell areas, not one that needs patching every spring.
We also lay the job out so it makes sense for your property. Whether it is a tight city lot in Marysville or a longer rural run toward Lincoln or Oromocto, we talk through grade, drainage, and finish before we start, so there are no surprises once the asphalt cools.

Late spring through early fall is ideal here. Once the frost is fully out of the ground and overnight temperatures stay mild, the asphalt cures the way it should. We book up fast through the summer across the Northside and New Maryland, so reaching out early in the season gets you a better spot in the schedule.
Yes, when it is built right. We compact the base, slope it for runoff, and finish clean edges so the plough does not chew up the sides. That combination is what gets a driveway in Silverwood or along the Hanwell corridor through the freeze-thaw season without breaking up by spring.
