National Asphalte does excavation and paving jobs in Laval, on the North Shore and in Montreal.
Before paving, we dig and grade the ground, then we lay a crushed stone base.
The surface comes next, in asphalt, interlocking pavers or concrete.
The estimate is free, and we come to see your property.
LEVEL 01 EXCAVATION
The ground comes first
Digging before building
Excavation is the first step in building your driveway. We dig out and remove the soil that should not stay under your surface.
Clearing a wooded lot
Did you buy a lot in the woods? We cut the trees where the road and the house will go, remove the stumps and build the access road.
A French drain around the house
A French drain, also called a foundation drain, collects water from the soil and carries it away from the foundation. To install it, we dig a trench all along the house.
Grading, for the right slope
We grade the ground before laying the base and the surface. The right slope sends rainwater away from the house.
Window wells for basement windows
We install basement window wells during excavation, along with the drain. They hold back the soil around the window and let the light in.
LEVEL 02 STONE BASE
What holds your driveway, under the surface
A compacted stone base
Under the surface, we lay a crushed stone base. We compact it so it carries the weight of cars without shifting.

LEVEL 03 SURFACE
The surface you choose
Asphalt, for driveways and parking lots
We pave home driveways and parking lots in asphalt. Our paving jobs are complete, from ground preparation to the finished surface.
Interlocking pavers, for a driveway or a yard
We lay the pavers one by one, on a compacted and well-levelled stone base. A damaged paver comes out and a new one goes in, without redoing the whole surface.
Concrete of all kinds, poured on site
We do concrete work of all kinds, like a slab or a walkway. First we build the forms out of boards, then we pour the concrete into them.
Repairs, before the hole grows
We do repairs of all kinds, like a crack or a sunken area. Repairing early limits water and frost, which make the damage worse every winter.
LEVEL 04 SURROUNDINGS
The surroundings, to finish the job
Curbs, for a clean edge
We install the curbs that frame a driveway or a parking lot. They hold the edges of the surface so they don’t spread apart.
Stone walls and steps
We build walls and steps in natural stone. A wall can hold back the soil on a sloped lot, and the steps lead right up to the door. We also lay natural stone for walkways and landings. Each stone has its own shape, and we find the right spot for it.
