Georgetown winters bring heavy snowfall, freeze–thaw cycles, and early‑morning ice that can make driveways dangerous. A heated driveway from Precision Landscaping keeps surfaces warm so snow and ice melt on contact—eliminating shovelling, salting, and winter safety risks. We install both electric and hydronic heating systems and tailor every layout to Georgetown’s terrain, climate, and property requirements.
Electric systems use heating mats or cables installed beneath your driveway surface and connected to sensors and a thermostat for automatic activation. For many Georgetown homes with small to mid‑sized driveways, electric systems offer fast installation, strong performance, and budget‑friendly upfront costs. They activate only when moisture and temperature conditions require it—making them efficient and convenient.
Hydronic systems circulate a heated glycol solution through tubing embedded below the driveway. Powered by a boiler or heat pump, this approach is ideal for larger or irregularly shaped Georgetown driveways, delivering even, consistent heat across the entire surface. Hydronic systems provide excellent long‑term efficiency and reliability. Typical installation costs range $43.75–$60 per sq ft, with operating costs around $0.10 per hour per 100 sq ft.
Our five‑step installation workflow is designed for Georgetown properties—from older neighbourhoods with mature trees to newer subdivisions—ensuring your system is installed cleanly, performs reliably, and integrates seamlessly with your preferred driveway finish:
We map your system according to driveway size, layout, slope, available electrical/boiler locations, and your preferred finish material.
We remove existing material, grade the base, install insulation, and prepare for cable or tubing placement.
Electric cables, mats, or hydronic tubing are installed. We complete all power or boiler connections and position sensors for automatic activation.
All heating zones are tested, thermostat/sensor responses are verified, and system performance is confirmed before the driveway is finished.
We install concrete, asphalt, pavers, or natural/man‑made stone to complete the look and protect the heating system underneath.
