Heated Driveway Ajax & Pickering

Winter storms in Ajax and Pickering make clearing snow and ice a daily chore. A heated driveway from Precision Landscaping eliminates shoveling and salting by gently warming the surface so it stays clear and safe. We install two proven options—electric and hydronic—tailored to local conditions and your property's needs.

Types of Heated Driveways We Offer

Electric Driveway Heating

Electric systems place heating cables or mats beneath the surface and connect them to a smart thermostat for automatic control. They're a great fit for small to medium driveways in Ajax and Pickering, install quickly, and keep operating costs predictable because they activate only when conditions call for it.

Hydronic Driveway Heating

Hydronic systems circulate a warmed glycol solution through tubing embedded under the driveway. A boiler or heat pump provides the heat, while sensors and controls engage the system during snow or freeze events. This approach excels on larger or uniquely shaped driveways common across Ajax and Pickering and scales efficiently on big projects. Typical installation ranges from $43.75 - $60 per square foot, with operating costs near $0.10 per hour per 100 square feet.

Our Installation Process for Ajax & Pickering

Our five-step process is customized so every Ajax & Pickering property—from lakeside lots to quiet suburban streets—gets a seamless installation:

Custom Design

We map out a system for your Ajax or Pickering property based on layout, square footage, finish choice, and budget.

Ground Preparation & Excavation

Old surfaces are removed, the base is graded, and insulation is set to direct heat upward. For hydronic systems, this stage also includes slab work where required.

System Setup

Our team installs cables, mats, or tubing, connects power or boiler equipment, and positions sensors and thermostats for reliable automation.

System Evaluation

Before finishing, we test the full system to confirm even heat distribution and responsive controls.

Driveway Finalization

Your driveway is completed in concrete, asphalt, pavers, or natural/man-made stone to match your preferred look and performance.
