Driveways here are measured in hundreds of feet, not car-lengths. A typical estate-lot driveway runs 150–400 feet, which changes both the math and the engineering: base preparation matters more than the asphalt itself, and a cheap quote on a bad base is money paved over a two-year countdown to cracking.
When to book: Get quotes in April–May; paving season runs roughly May to October and the schedule fills from the front.

Support Local · Manotick means the business operates from K4M — a storefront, yard, office, or a documented owner or mobile base here — not that it merely covers the area (how we test it). Independent means locally owned rather than a chain or franchise.
manotick.co is a directory, not a party to any work. Every button above goes straight to the business; any quote, contract, warranty or dispute is between you and them. Confirm licence and insurance and get it in writing before work starts — terms.
Greely too. Greely (K4P) is eight kilometres east along Mitch Owens Road and on the same wells and septic; most of the businesses on this page serve it as well as Manotick — say "Greely" when you call and confirm any travel charge. For the trades with a yard or office in Greely itself, see contractors based in Greely.
Who is the best paving company in Manotick?
Short answer: For a full driveway, Ottawa Paving & Interlock is the only one of the three based in Manotick, and it carries asphalt, interlock, retaining walls and snow removal, so the driveway and its edges can be one contract. If the base is still sound and the surface is not, Bulldog does sealing and repair for a fraction of a repave. Alvi has been paving since 1963, the longest record here.
| Business | Based | Ownership | What sets them apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ottawa Paving & Interlock | Manotick (K4M) | Independent | The only Manotick-based company here, carrying asphalt, interlock, retaining walls and snow removal — a driveway and its edges can be one contract. |
| Bulldog Sealing & Asphalt Repair | Greely | Independent | Greely, family-owned since 2009, focused on sealing and asphalt repair — the cheaper answer while the base is still sound. |
| Alvi Paving | Unit 3, Ottawa | Independent | Driveway paving, asphalt repair, interlock and concrete since 1963 — the longest record of the three — and names Manotick in its service area. |
A comparison of the three businesses this site would call first, on facts each publishes about itself — not a ranking of every paving company serving K4M, and not a rating. "What sets them apart" is our opinion, formed from the criteria we publish. No business has paid for a place in this table, and payment would not change it.

Gravel, asphalt, or interlock
Long driveways usually end up hybrid: gravel or tar-and-chip for the run, asphalt or interlock for the parking court near the house. Full asphalt on 300 feet is a $25,000+ commitment; gravel costs a fraction up front but wants a fresh load and grading every couple of years and snowplows eat its edges. Tar-and-chip splits the difference and suits the rural look, though fewer local crews offer it.
What a good quote includes
The questions that sort real pavers from truck-and-trailer operators: how many inches of granular base, compacted in how many lifts, what asphalt thickness (2.5–3 inches compacted for residential), and how they handle drainage crossfall on a long run. If a quote doesn't specify base depth, it isn't a quote — it's an estimate of how much asphalt fits on your existing problems.
Common questions
Who is the best paving company in Manotick?
For a full driveway, Ottawa Paving & Interlock is the only one of the three based in Manotick, and it carries asphalt, interlock, retaining walls and snow removal, so the driveway and its edges can be one contract. If the base is still sound and the surface is not, Bulldog does sealing and repair for a fraction of a repave. Alvi has been paving since 1963, the longest record here.
How much does driveway paving cost in Manotick?
New asphalt including proper base preparation typically runs $6–$10 per square foot in 2026. A standard 200-foot driveway at 12 feet wide lands around $14,000–$24,000 depending on width and base condition.
Is gravel cheaper than asphalt long-term?
Up front, dramatically — but gravel needs a refresh load every year or two at $40–$70 a tonne delivered and spread, plus grading, and plowing scatters it. Over 15–20 years the gap narrows; asphalt wins on maintenance, gravel wins on capital.
When is paving season in Ottawa?
Roughly May through October. Asphalt laid in cold temperatures doesn't compact properly, and reputable crews stop quoting installs by late fall.
How long should an asphalt driveway last here?
With a proper 8-inch compacted base and sealing every 3–5 years, 18–25 years. On a skimped base in Ottawa freeze-thaw, visible cracking often starts inside 5.
