Why Omemee customers choose Harwick Paving
Driveway work in Omemee comes in two shapes: a short driveway on a village lot, or a long gravel run on a rural property that the owner wants paved at last. Both need the same thing underneath, a base built to drain. Two things set us apart before any asphalt goes down, and both are in writing.
A 1-year workmanship and material guarantee on every asphalt project. If part of your driveway or lot fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. If a material we used turns out to be defective, we repair or replace it, and the full terms are on our guarantee page.
Platinum at the 2026 CommunityVotes Kawarthas Awards. We were voted Platinum in the Paving and Driveways category in 2026, after Gold in 2025. The awards are decided by community votes, so they reflect what customers in the region think of the work.
Driveway paving Omemee: village lots and rural driveways
Omemee grew up around the mills on the Pigeon River and is now a village in the City of Kawartha Lakes, with Highway 7 running through it. In the village, driveways are short and sit close to the street. On the rural properties around Omemee, a driveway can run a long way back from the road.
On a village lot, the work is mostly about the edges. The driveway meets the street at one end and a garage or house at the other, and the finished surface has to slope water away from both.
On a rural property, the work is mostly about the base. A long gravel driveway has usually been topped up for years, so it has soft spots, ruts and low places where water sits every spring.
Converting a gravel driveway to asphalt
Take a typical call from a rural property outside Omemee: a long gravel driveway with puddles in the same places every spring. Asphalt laid straight over that gravel would follow the soft spots, and the first winter would show them as dips and cracks. So the crew removes the soft material first, brings in fresh gravel where it is needed, and shapes and rolls the base until water drains off to the ditch or the grass.
Driveway entrances on Highway 7, King Street and City roads
The road in front of your property decides which entrance permit you need, and around Omemee there are three answers. Outside the village, Highway 7 is a provincial highway, and Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation handles entrances onto it through its highway corridor management service. That covers building a new entrance and modifying an existing one.
Inside the village, Highway 7 runs as King Street, the main street. If your property fronts King Street, call the City of Kawartha Lakes before anything else and ask which permit applies to your address. For any other City road, the City sets out the application, fee and deposit on its entrance permits page.
Get the permit in hand before the paving date is set, since the crew starts at the road and works back toward the house. The apron, the strip between the road edge and your property, is covered in our guide to driveway aprons.
Parking lot paving in Omemee
Parking lot paving in Omemee covers lots for the shops and businesses in the village and for properties around it. A lot carries steady traffic every day, so it is built heavier than a driveway. It needs a thicker asphalt layer, a deeper compacted base, and grading that moves water away from the lot and the buildings beside it.
We also take industrial work: yards, loading and turning areas and access roads.
Whether a lot needs a full new build, an overlay or targeted repairs depends on what is underneath. On a main-street property we can phase the job so customers can still park. Our parking lot paving guide sets the three options side by side.

Asphalt repair and resurfacing in Omemee
Asphalt repair fixes the places that have broken, and resurfacing puts a new top layer over a base that is still sound. Which one an Omemee driveway needs depends on what water has done to the base. On a rural driveway the damage usually starts at the unsupported edges, and in the village it starts at the street.
Our asphalt repair in Omemee covers:
- Edges on rural driveways, where asphalt meets the shoulder with nothing to hold it and starts to break away
- Potholes and patches, cut back to sound asphalt and filled so the patch sits level
- Rebuilt sections where the same spot keeps sinking because the gravel under it has washed out or gone soft
Crack filling is not a service we sell by itself.
When cracks run across the whole surface, asphalt resurfacing in Omemee may be the better fix, but only if the base is still sound. Over a failed base, a new layer cracks along the old lines. To read the signs yourself, see why asphalt driveways crack and when resurfacing works.
What sets the price of an Omemee job
The price of an Omemee job comes from four things: the length of the driveway, the base under it, the drainage and the entrance. None of them can be judged from a photo, so the quote comes after a visit. This is what each one does to the price:
- Length. Every extra metre needs base work and asphalt, so on a rural run it dominates the total.
- The existing base. Firm, well-drained gravel may only need regrading and rolling. Gravel that ruts or holds water gets dug out and replaced, and that adds cost.
- Drainage. Where water goes when it leaves the surface, and whether it is causing the damage now.
- The entrance. A new or changed entrance needs its permit first, and the permit can set conditions on how the apron is built.
That is why you will not find a per-square-foot price on this page: any number given before the visit would move once we saw the driveway.

FAQ
Do you pave driveways in Omemee?
Yes. Omemee is in the area we serve in the City of Kawartha Lakes, and we pave driveways in the village and on the rural properties around it, including new driveways, replacements and gravel conversions. Call 705-341-4113 with the address for a free, no-obligation quote.
Do I need a permit for a driveway entrance onto Highway 7 near Omemee?
Yes, if you are building a new entrance or changing an existing one. Outside the village, Highway 7 is a provincial highway, so the permit comes from Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation. Inside the village, Highway 7 runs as King Street, so ask the City of Kawartha Lakes first which permit applies to your address.
Can you pave a long rural driveway outside Omemee?
Yes. On a long rural driveway, length sets most of the price, and the base matters more than anything else, because soft spots and standing water show up as dips and cracks after the first winter. We check both on site before quoting.
Do you pave parking lots for Omemee businesses?
Yes. We pave and resurface lots for shops and businesses in the village, and we take industrial work such as yards, loading areas and access roads. Because a lot takes traffic all day, it gets more asphalt and more base than a driveway, so each one is priced after we see it.
How much does driveway paving cost in Omemee?
It depends on the length of the driveway, the condition of the base, drainage and access, which is why we do not publish a flat rate. A short in-village driveway and a long rural one are different jobs. Send us the address and we will come out, measure it and price it, free.
What does the 1-year guarantee cover?
Our 1-Year Workmanship and Material Guarantee covers defects in workmanship or materials on our asphalt work for one year from completion. If the surface fails because of how it was installed, or a material turns out to be defective, we fix it at no cost to you. Normal wear, outside damage and lack of maintenance are not covered.
