Heated Driveway Whitby

Whitby winters can turn driveways into ice rinks overnight. A heated driveway from Precision Landscaping keeps the surface warm so snow and ice melt on contact—no shovels, no salt runs, no early-morning scrambles. We install both electric and hydronic systems and tailor every project to Whitby's conditions and your property goals.

Types of Heated Driveways We Offer

Electric Driveway Heating

Electric systems place heating mats or cables beneath the finish layer and connect to a thermostat and sensors for hands-off control. For many Whitby homes with small to mid-sized driveways, they're a smart pick: fast to install, budget-friendly upfront, and efficient because they switch on only when temperature and moisture call for it.

Hydronic Driveway Heating

Hydronic designs circulate a heated glycol solution through tubing embedded under the surface. A boiler or heat pump provides the heat, and sensors trigger operation during snow or freeze events. This approach shines on larger or irregular layouts in Whitby—delivering even heat and strong long-term efficiency. Typical install costs run $43.75 - $60 per sq ft, with operating costs around $0.10 per hour per 100 sq ft.

Our Installation Process for Whitby

Our five-step workflow is tuned to Whitby properties—from Brooklin lots to homes near the harbour—so your system goes in cleanly, performs reliably, and looks seamless with your chosen finish:


Custom Design

We map the system to your driveway's size, shape, power/boiler placement, and preferred surface.

Ground Preparation & Excavation

We remove existing material, grade the base, add insulation, and prepare for cabling or tubing.

System Setup

Cables, mats, or tubing are installed; power or boiler connections made; sensors and controls positioned for automatic operation.

System Evaluation

We test zones, verify thermostat/sensor responses, and confirm even heat before finishing.

Driveway Finalization

Concrete, asphalt, pavers, or natural/man-made stone are installed to complete the look and protect the system.
