Winter in Ontario brings cold temperatures and the arrival of snowy, icy conditions. These conditions lead to additional efforts, costs, and headaches associated with keeping your property safe and accessible. With a heated driveway, many of these concerns can be eliminated. Some of the benefits of a Heated Driveway System include:
Heated Driveway Systems use heat technology to warm up the surface of your driveway and melt the snow and ice. We offer two types of Heated Driveway Systems: electric and hydronic
Electric driveway heating systems use electric cables or mats that get embedded under pavers or
the asphalt of your driveway. The cables or mats then connect to a thermostat that controls the
temperature and timing of the system. Electric heating systems must be plugged into the power
source. These heat systems are reliable, easy to install, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance.
Electric driveway heating systems are recommended for smaller to medium-sized driveways due to
their ease of installation, lower upfront cost, and insignificant operating costs for smaller
surfaces.
A hydronic driveway heating system uses flexible tubing that gets laid under the surface of your
driveway. The tubing carries glycol (anti-freeze) that circulates through a boiler or heat pump.
The heat is transferred to the driveway's surface, melting the snow and ice. The thermostat can
turn on and off automatically based on the sensors in the driveway.
A hydronic driveway heating system is more powerful, versatile, and eco-friendly than an
electric system. It is suitable for large or irregular-shaped driveways due to its strong
heating power and the cost savings that come with bigger projects. With these systems, the
initial price of the boiler and other equipment is fixed and will only incrementally increase
with large sized driveways. This means that the larger the driveway, the less it costs for each
square foot, making it a more budget-friendly option as the driveway size increases. The average
installation cost for a hydronic system is $43.75 per square foot. The average operating cost
for a hydronic system is $0.10 per hour per 100 square feet.
Our designers at Precision Landscaping will design your heated driveway system based on site parameters, square footage, and budget.
This process generally includes the removal of the existing pavement, grading the soil, and
laying the insulation, cables, and other materials.
If the heating system is a hydronic driveway system, during this stage, a concrete slab would be
laid.
We will install the system according to your specifications and preferences. This generally includes laying the cables, mats, or tubing, connecting them to the power source or boiler, and installing sensors or thermostats.
During this stage we will test the heated driveway system to ensure that it is working properly and efficiently.
During this stage the driveway will be finished by the finish of concrete. If the system is a hydronic driveway heating system the driveway can also be finished with architectural concrete, pavers, asphalt, or natural or man-made stone.

Whatever I thought that I wanted for my backyard, was not even close to what I am now enjoying! You guys are absolutely amazing and my expectations are totally exceeded. Just an excellent job in every sense. From plants to sod to steps. Thank you for the great suggestions and the superb workmanship. Can't wait to see how much higher my property is now valued. I've received compliments and requests for referrals no less than 5 times already in the past week. And we have happily recommended Precision each time. Best regards!
Precision Landscaping is a company I would highly recommend to do business with. Steve is a talented designer when it comes to helping you get everything you can out of your yard space. Both Steve and Martein are super responsive, respectful of your time, and knowledgeable in whatever it is you might ask them. Their crew was fantastic, on time, worked hard, cleaned up every day before leaving. Our project took 10 days to complete and we are completely satisfied love it how it turned out. Precision Landscaping gave is the exact space we were hoping to have.
Steve and his crew are great. Our back yard was a muddy, scrubby weed patch. They cleared it out, levelled it, put in a slab for my new hot tub, and installed an awesome paver patio complete with stone benches and a big fire pit. It turned out way nicer than we were hoping for. What was essentially wasted space is now a great backyard hangout area. And we have to note Steve did a great job of suggesting ideas, since we started out a bit unsure of what we wanted the end result to be. We've already recommended them to a couple friends, and we will continue to do so. And in the meantime we'll be cooling off in the backyard.
