Experience the charm and vibrancy of Vaughan, Ontario, with a Heated Driveway System that makes winter living effortless. Vaughan is home to a wealth of attractions, including Vaughan Mills, Canada's Wonderland, and a rich variety of food, festivals, and cultural offerings.
At Precision Landscaping, we are specialists in designing and installing heated driveway systems in Vaughan, handling every aspect of the process. We will ensure winter living in Vaughan's ever-changing climate is effortless and safe. The primary advantage of a heated driveway is the prevention of ice and snow accumulation, which significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls—critical in areas where snow removal might be delayed. Additionally, it eliminates the usual time and effort spent on shovelling, plowing, and salting, offering convenience and peace of mind during winter storms. A heated driveway also preserves the integrity of the surface by minimizing the damage caused by ice and snow, which helps avoid costly repairs or replacements.
Choose Precision Landscaping for your heated driveway project in Vaughan to enhance the safety, convenience, and longevity of your property.
Electric driveway heating systems utilize electric cables or mats installed beneath pavers or asphalt. These cables or mats connect to a thermostat regulating temperature and timing. Plugged into a power source, these systems are dependable, straightforward to install, energy-efficient, and require minimal upkeep.
Recommended for smaller to medium-sized driveways due to their easy installation, lower initial cost, and minimal operating expenses for smaller surfaces.
For heated driveways, a hydronic system uses flexible tubing laid beneath the surface, circulating glycol (anti-freeze) through a boiler or heat pump. This heat transfers to the driveway, melting snow and ice. Controlled by sensors, the thermostat is automated and does not require someone to control it.
A hydronic system is more versatile and eco-friendly than electric driveway heating. This means that it uses flexible cables which suit larger or irregularly shaped driveways. With fixed initial costs, larger projects offer cost savings per square foot, making them budget-friendly as driveway size increases.
Our expert designers will create a heated driveway system tailored to your site, square footage, and budget.
This phase involves removing existing pavement, grading the soil, and laying insulation, cables, and other necessary materials. For hydronic systems, a concrete slab is laid at this stage.
Our expert team will install the system according to your preferences, including laying cables, mats, or tubing, connecting them to the power source or boiler, and installing sensors or thermostats.
Our expert team will thoroughly test the heated driveway system to ensure it operates efficiently and effectively.
The driveway will be finished with concrete or other materials like architectural concrete, pavers, asphalt, or natural/man-made stone, depending on your chosen system and visual preference.
| System Type | Hydronic Heated Driveway Systems | Electric Heated Driveway Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Average Installation Expenses | $43.75-60 per square foot | $25-40 per square foot |
| Electricity or Fuel Costs | $0.10 per hour per 100 square feet | $0.15 per hour per 100 square feet |
| Ideal Driveway Size | Larger or irregularly shaped driveways | Smaller to medium-sized driveways |
The cost to install a heated driveway depends on various factors, including the type of heating system, the size of the driveway, and the choice of surface materials. Options like asphalt and concrete are generally more affordable, whereas pavers and natural stone tend to be pricier.
