Most failed driveways fail in the dirt, not the surface. Asphalt patched every three years. Poured concrete cracked through from freeze–thaw. Interlocking driveways installed over inadequate base that migrate, dip, or rut. The surface gets blamed; the sub-base is the real problem.

Every McCoy driveway is scoped to the lot, layout, and load — here are the configurations we build most often across Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Milton.

Paver driveways are a larger upfront investment than asphalt — usually 2–3x — but they last 25–30 years with minimal upkeep versus 10–12 for asphalt, and they add real resale value. If you plan to stay in the home past 5 years, the numbers favour pavers on total cost of ownership.
Most McCoy driveway builds run 1–3 weeks on-site once excavation starts, depending on size, access, and integration with front-entry walkways or landings. Peak-season (April–September) books 6–12 weeks ahead, so reach out early.
When they're installed correctly, yes — better than asphalt. The key is base depth and compaction. Our driveways go down on 10–14 inches of compacted aggregate so freeze–thaw cycles have nothing to move. Individual pavers can also be replaced section-by-section if anything ever shifts.
Snow plowing works fine on paver driveways — lift the plow blade slightly off the surface, and use a plastic or rubber cutting edge rather than metal. We cover this in the care-guide handoff so you (or your plow contractor) know the right setup before winter.
Yes — extensions and widening are common projects. We match the existing paver colour and style where possible, and rebuild the adjacent base so the new section and the old one behave the same way under load and freeze–thaw.
Sealing is optional but recommended every 5–7 years if you want the fresh-install look maintained. Polymeric sand top-up every 3–5 years keeps joints tight. We include a care guide at handoff that spells out timing and the right products to use.
