Driveways crack, patios settle, garage floors chip. Oshawa Concrete pours every residential slab with freeze-thaw in mind, from the base up. One crew, one standard, every job.
Twelve service lines, one crew. Whether it's a new driveway, a basement floor repair, or a decorative patio, the same licensed team handles the whole job from excavation to cure.
A driveway takes the worst of the Oshawa climate: freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, heavy vehicles, and standing water. When the old one fails, the new one has to be built differently. Start with a solid gravel base, compacted in lifts. Use an air-entrained concrete mix that flexes instead of shatters when the temperature swings. Finish with a broom or exposed-aggregate surface that sheds water and hides stains.
The crew cuts control joints at planned intervals so any shrinkage cracks follow a clean line, not a random spiderweb. Then seal it to keep salt and moisture out. That same care extends to stamped patios, epoxy garage floors, and decorative walkways around the property, so every slab ages the same way.

We measure the area, talk through finish options and drainage, and leave you a detailed, itemised quote with a firm price and timeline.
Excavate, base, and form
On start day we protect landscaping, remove old concrete if needed, build and 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 finishes it to your chosen style: broom, stamped, exposed-aggregate, polished, or epoxy.
Joint, cure, and handoff
Control joints are cut, the site is cleaned, and we walk you through the cure schedule so you know when the slab is ready for traffic and sealing.

Residential Concrete FAQs
Permits, access, finishes, warranty and care for concrete work in Oshawa.
Oshawa Concrete handles the full residential 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 project. Flatwork like a driveway or patio replacement usually does not need one, while concrete foundations, structural steps and taller retaining walls often do. We tell you upfront what your job needs and can pull the permit as part of the project.
Yes. Most Oshawa 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.
