Asphalt questions,
honestly answered.
The questions we get most often, what's the 11% offer, when can I drive on new pavement, do you do bin sealing, chipseal versus asphalt, and a few more. If yours isn't here, the phone goes straight to dispatch.
Saskatchewan's combined tax is 11% (5% GST + 6% PST). We knock that 11% off every quote this season, so the price you see is already discounted. There's nothing to redeem, just call or send the form.
Foot traffic is fine after about 24 hours. Cars can usually park after 48 to 72 hours, depending on the temperature.
The mat keeps curing for around 30 days, try not to do sharp steering-wheel turns while the car is sitting still during the first week. Heavy trucks should wait a full week if you can manage it.
Wait at least 6 months after a brand-new pour so the asphalt can off-gas the oils. After that, plan on sealcoating every 2 to 3 years in Saskatchewan.
Our freeze-thaw cycle is hard on pavement, a fresh coat blocks UV, water and oxidation between winters and keeps the binder soft enough not to crack.
Asphalt is hot-mix, laid by a paver and rolled smooth. It's what you see on city streets and most driveways. Tight, clean surface.
Chipseal is hot liquid asphalt with stone aggregate rolled into it. Rougher surface, lower cost, well-suited to long country drives and rural lanes where you don't need the smoothness of hot-mix.
We do both. On a site walk we'll tell you which one actually fits the job.
Yes, every quote is free and there's never an obligation to book. For small jobs we can sometimes quote from photos and rough dimensions you send. For bigger work we'll come walk the site, measure, check drainage and base, and hand back a written number.
All of Saskatchewan. We're based in Moose Jaw but we routinely work Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Swift Current, Yorkton, Weyburn, Estevan, Lloydminster, North Battleford and dozens of smaller towns and RMs. Bigger jobs are worth the drive, call dispatch.
Yes. We seal the perimeter foundation of grain bins with an asphalt-based waterproof membrane that blocks ground moisture and rodent entry. Stored grain stays drier, the floor stays sound, and the bin lasts longer.
Hot-mix asphalt wants ground temperatures above roughly 10°C, so paving season here runs from about mid-May through late September. Sealcoating and crack-filling can run later into fall.
Book early in the season, calendars fill up fast once the ground is workable.
Yes, municipal and rural-municipality work is a big part of what we do. We've been doing patching for the Town of Avonlea since 2011, work for SaskPower, and contracts with villages and RMs across the province.
Yes, BBB Accredited, fully insured, and bonded as needed for municipal work. Documentation available on request.
