Driveways, patios, garage floors, foundations, steps and more. One licensed crew handles every pour from site prep through final cure. Free written estimate, no obligation.
A driveway takes more punishment than any other residential slab in Gatineau. Winter freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, heavy vehicles, and thermal shock all work against the concrete. The difference between a slab that lasts 20 years and one that spalls and cracks in five comes down to what happens before the pour.
The base matters most. Proper excavation, compacted gravel, and the right slab thickness for your vehicle loads create a stable platform. The concrete mix itself must be air-entrained so tiny bubbles absorb ice expansion without cracking. After the pour, control joints guide shrinkage along clean lines, and sealing keeps water and de-icing chemicals from penetrating the surface.
Once your driveway concrete is set, the same principles apply to patio slabs, walkways, and garage floor coatings. Every surface on your property benefits from the same crew and the same attention to base prep and mix design. Need pricing before you commit? Our concrete cost guide breaks down typical driveway expenses by size and finish.
We measure the area, discuss finish options and drainage, and leave you a detailed, itemised quote with a firm price and realistic timeline.
Excavate, base, and form
On start day we protect landscaping, remove old concrete if needed, compact the gravel base, and set forms so the slab sits exactly where it belongs.
Mix, place, and finish
The crew pours the concrete, works it into the forms, and applies your chosen finish: broom, stamped, exposed-aggregate, or polished. Control joints are cut to guide shrinkage.
Cure, seal, and handoff
We protect the fresh concrete during cure, clean the site, and walk you through the care schedule so you know when the slab is ready for traffic and vehicles.
Homeowner questions
Residential Concrete in Gatineau, FAQ
Permits, access, finishes, warranty and what to expect from start to finish.
We pour the full range: concrete driveways, patios, polished and epoxy floors, garage floors, foundations, steps and stairs, sidewalks and walkways, basement concrete, retaining walls and countertops. One licensed local crew forms, pours and finishes every job.
It depends on the scope. Flatwork like a driveway or patio replacement usually does not require one, but concrete foundations, structural steps and taller retaining walls often do. We tell you upfront what your project needs and can pull the permit as part of the work.
Yes. Most Gatineau backyards are reached with a concrete pump or wheelbarrow runs when a truck cannot back in. We check access on the free site visit and build it into the quote, so a fenced yard or a narrow side gate is not a dealbreaker for a patio or pool deck.
Every finish lasts when the base and mix are right, but broom and exposed-aggregate finishes shed water and hide wear better than a smooth trowel finish on outdoor slabs. Sealed decorative finishes hold up too; they just want resealing every few years. We match the finish to where the slab lives.
Yes. Our workmanship is warranted, and we walk you through what is covered plus the cure-and-care steps that keep it that way at the final handoff. The written, itemised quote stays with you as the record of exactly what was agreed.
Replaced our crumbling front steps and ran a new walkway out to the driveway. The rise is even on every step, the broom finish matches, and the railing posts line up clean.

★★★★★
Poured a new basement floor after the old one was torn out. It came out flat enough that the laminate went down without a single shim. Tidy crew and a clear cure schedule.

★★★★★
Broom-finish pool deck and a fire-pit pad in the same week. The slope drains away from the house exactly like they promised and the colour is consistent across both pours.

★★★★★
Built a poured retaining wall to hold back the side yard and tied a new sidewalk into it. Engineered, drained right, and it has not budged through a full freeze-thaw.
