Moore & Sons recently completed a fully permitted concrete driveway and pathway project in Langley.
After installing hundreds of driveways throughout the Lower Mainland over the past 26 years, we've found that most driveway removals and replacements do not require a building permit - as long as the size and layout of the existing driveway remain unchanged. The main exception is when your property is already under an active building permit; in those cases, the city or municipality will typically require a separate driveway permit as well.
For this project, the homeowner wanted to add a secondary driveway and use it as the foundation for a new garage. Adding an additional driveway usually requires a permit, which can increase your project timeline and costs, and often involves a fair amount of paperwork. There's also a chance the application may be declined if the design doesn't meet local bylaws.
However, once the approvals are in place, a well-designed, expanded driveway can significantly increase your property's value.
To complete the look, we paired the new driveway with a matching curved pathway, replacing a set of 38-year-old pavers that were long past their prime.
