Your driveway takes more punishment than almost any other surface on your property — vehicle traffic, road salt, snowplows, and Ontario’s relentless freeze-thaw cycles all take their toll year after year. A properly built driveway isn’t just about looks; it’s about having a surface that holds up, drains correctly, and stays safe and functional through every season.
At The Setting Stone Company, we install driveways across Clarington and the Durham Region using materials and methods proven to perform in Ontario’s climate. Whether you’re looking for the classic appeal of an interlock driveway, the low-maintenance durability of asphalt, or the clean finish of concrete, we build every driveway on a properly engineered base that ensures lasting results.
A great driveway starts long before the surface goes down — it starts with the groundwork, and that’s where we never cut corners.
We help you choose the right driveway material for your home, your budget, and the way you actually use your property.

Interlock is our most popular driveway choice — and for good reason. It delivers outstanding curb appeal, handles vehicle loads exceptionally well, and individual stones can be lifted and replaced if repairs are ever needed. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns to complement your home's exterior.
Asphalt is a practical, cost-effective choice that performs well in Ontario's climate. It handles temperature extremes better than concrete, is quick to install, and can be resurfaced when needed. A properly built asphalt driveway on a solid base will give you many years of reliable use.
Concrete driveways offer a clean, modern look and excellent long-term durability when properly installed and sealed. They require less maintenance than asphalt over time and hold up well under heavy vehicle loads. We install concrete driveways with proper expansion joints and surface finishing.
Whether your existing driveway has cracked, sunken, or simply needs more space, we handle repairs and extensions across all driveway types. We assess the root cause of any damage before recommending a solution — so the repair actually lasts.
A driveway is one of the largest investments you’ll make in your home’s exterior — and one of the most visible. We’ve seen what happens when driveways are built without proper excavation, base compaction, or drainage planning: they crack, sink, and heave within just a few seasons. After 15 years of driveway installations across Clarington and Durham Region, our process is built around getting the foundation right so the surface performs the way it should.

We excavate to the depth required for your driveway type and vehicle load, then install and compact a granular base that resists frost heave and settling — the foundation every durable driveway depends on.
We work with interlock, asphalt, and concrete, and we'll give you an honest recommendation based on your budget, your home's style, and how your driveway gets used — not just what's easiest for us to install.
Every driveway we install is graded to direct water away from your home's foundation and toward the street or designated drainage areas. Poor drainage is one of the leading causes of premature driveway failure.
Driveway work can be disruptive — we work efficiently to minimize the time your property is out of commission, protect your lawn and landscaping throughout, and do a full cleanup before the final walkthrough.

All three materials we work with — interlock, asphalt, and concrete — can perform well in Ontario when properly installed. Interlock handles freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well because the individual stones can flex slightly with ground movement. Asphalt is more flexible than concrete in cold temperatures. Concrete is highly durable but more susceptible to cracking if expansion joints aren't correctly placed. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your specific situation.
Most residential driveways take 2 to 4 days from excavation to completion, not including curing time for asphalt or concrete. Interlock driveways are usable sooner after installation. We provide a clear timeline estimate before any work begins.
We handle full removal and disposal of your existing driveway surface as part of the installation process. In some cases, existing base material can be reused if it's in good condition — we assess this during the site visit and factor it into the quote.
For interlock, light vehicle traffic is typically fine within 24 to 48 hours. Asphalt driveways generally need 2 to 3 days before vehicle use and should be kept free of heavy loads for longer during hot summer months. Concrete driveways typically require 7 days before vehicle traffic. We'll give you specific guidance based on what we install.
Maintenance depends on the material. Interlock benefits from periodic re-sanding of joints and sealing every 2 to 3 years. Asphalt should be crack-sealed as needed and seal-coated every few years. Concrete requires minimal maintenance but benefits from sealing to protect against road salt damage. We'll walk you through the specifics at project completion.
