Roads, Paving and Parking Lots
Roads and parking lots built on a proper base, to the standard the owner specifies.
Roads, Paving and Parking Lots in Toronto and across Ontario
Pavement lasts as long as what lies beneath it. Subgrade preparation, granular base, drainage and compaction decide whether a road or parking lot lasts for decades or breaks up after a few winters.
We deliver road resurfacing and reconstruction, mill-and-overlay, asphalt paving, parking lot construction and repair, curbs and drainage for municipalities, public agencies, developers, property managers and commercial owners. Work follows Ontario Provincial Standards (OPSS and OPSD) and the owner's own specifications, with traffic control to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 7.
Harborline Sterling Construction Inc. is principal-led. One of our co-founders, Mansoor Alam Khan or Maqsood Mohammed, oversees every project, so decisions get made quickly and you always know who is accountable.

Read articleFrequently asked questions
What standards do you build roads to?
To the owner's contract documents, which in Ontario usually reference the Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS) and Drawings (OPSD), along with municipal standards.
Can roads and businesses stay open during construction?
Yes. We stage the work, keep driveways and business entrances accessible wherever possible, and set up traffic control to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 7.
Do you repave private parking lots?
Yes. We rebuild and resurface parking lots for plazas, offices, industrial sites, condominiums and places of worship, including drainage and accessible parking.
When is paving season in Ontario?
Hot-mix asphalt paving generally runs from spring to late fall, when temperatures allow proper placement and compaction. Base and drainage work can sometimes start earlier.
Do you bid on municipal tenders?
Yes, on tenders that suit our capacity. We review each tender's requirements, including bonding, insurance and health and safety certification, before we bid.
