Driveway construction: durability depends on creating a strong, level, well-drained surface, a sub-base and laying suitable surface materials.

Entrée de garage: la durabilité de votre entrée dépend de la construction solide nivelée, une surface bien drainée et d'une sous-base constituée de matériaux de surface appropriés.

TIPS: Driveway construction/renovation

Useful tips for driveway construction and renovation with J. A. Izzo:

1. Organize council permits for skip hire, parking and access.

2. Source, brief and schedule J. A. Izzo (the contractor) for details.

3. Ensure access routes for delivery of materials and heavy equipment such as concrete mixers and trucks.

4. Warn neighbors of possible noise, dust and minor traffic disruption and the duration of the work in progress.

5. If sourcing your own materials, tools and equipment, consult

J. A. Izzo to verify their suitability for the project.

5a. Verify that your purchase of materials is sufficient to fill and cover the driveway sub-base and surface adequately.

5b. Verify that materials and equipment will be delivered on time. Delays are costly.

Excavation & Sub-base

Steps for the construction of a durable driveway:

1. Break up and remove old concrete/paving and excavate to a depth of 100 mm (depth depends on the surfacing material selected).

2. Create a sound sub-base. To guarantee support and ensure a level base course, 15cm of road base or blue-metal is added to the subgrade (the driveway base that remains after excavation), then leveled and compacted with a vibrating plate compactor. Similar preparation is required for paver, brick, concrete rock or bituminous concrete driveways.

3. Paved driveways: builders’ sand may be used as a base course on top of leveled, compacted earth and/or road base. Otherwise, add two coats of bituminous emulsion (aka cold seal tar) separated by a layer of gravel, followed by a final layer of blue metal (non dust-generating) gravel before adding concrete or asphalt.

4. Ensure proper driveway drainage. Your driveway should not drain towards the house. A drainage system should be installed with a pre-cast concrete pit or sump covered by a removable grate with a short plastic pipe to transport water from the pit to the nearest storm water drain.

Snow Removal- SNOW-BLOWING, SALTING/SANDING ROADWAYS, SNOW RELOCATION

WINTER: We provide snow removal, snow-blowing, salting/sanding roadways, snow relocation, and trucking.

J.A. Izzo provides service package options to our customers. Snow removal is a critical service for many commercial and residential customers. Our snow & ice management service area extends across Greater Montreal.

Pretreatments start when ground and air temps are close to or expected to drop below freezing (0°C). This is a sign of snow. However, rain can freeze on ground contact and result in hazardous and slippery conditions.

Snowplowing is done after a snowfall of 5 centimeters or over on an automatic clearing basis, up to a maximum of 250 centimeters throughout the winter. Snow will be cleared by 9 a.m. providing it has stopped snowing by 4 a.m.

Salt or Sand/Salt mix applications can be included in your package or priced separately per application.

Our snow removal crew is available 24/7 during periods of snowfall, and, they can be reached by cellular phone.

J. A. Izzo uses urethane technology. Our plowing equipment uses polyurethane cutting edges. The squeegee action and molding properties of this material allows us to plow your lots down to "bare and black" without the tendency to leave trail-offs. Snow and ice are cleared quickly and efficiently from your premises while protecting your curbs, entrance aprons, and the odd manhole or drain cover that is not quite flush with the pavement, virtually eliminating the worry and inconvenience of surface repairs in spring. Plows also glides right over gravel areas and decorative paver driveways.
