What a heated driveway looks like, from the base to the first snowfall.

Finished surfaces staying clear in winter, and the stages that go in underneath before the surface is poured or laid.

Finished surfaces in winter

Concrete, asphalt and pavers on days when snow is falling or has just fallen.

A two-car concrete driveway in front of a red-brick house, bare and damp while light snow falls and the lawn on both sides sits under fresh snow.
Concrete driveway clear and dry while the snow stays on the lawn
A long curving black asphalt driveway, wet and free of snow, cutting through a snow-covered front yard lined with spruce trees toward a bungalow.
Heated asphalt driveway running clear through a snowy yard
A charcoal herringbone paver driveway with a darker border, completely clear of snow between high snowbanks, leading to a stone house with a double garage.

Close-up at ground level of a broom-finished concrete driveway edge: bare damp concrete on one side, a sharp melting line, and untouched snow on the lawn beside it.
Where the heated slab ends and the snow begins
A smooth black asphalt driveway leading to a beige two-storey house with a single garage, with dormant grass and a few fallen leaves along the edges.

A charcoal paver walkway and stone-capped steps leading to a front door, bare and wet while the garden beds and railings on both sides are heaped with snow.

Under the surface

The layers that go in before the surface: the base, insulation, tubing on mesh, the pour and the mechanical side.

A driveway excavation filled with a compacted crushed-stone base, wooden form boards along the edges and a plate compactor on the gravel, in front of a brick house.

Light blue rigid foam insulation boards laid edge to edge over a compacted gravel driveway base, with wooden forms along the sides and spare boards stacked nearby.
Foam insulation boards laid over the base
Red PEX heating tubing laid in even parallel loops with U-bends, tied to steel mesh over blue foam insulation across a whole driveway, with the tube ends gathered near the garage.

An interlock driveway part way through installation: finished grey pavers, a screeded sand bed, and red heating tubing still visible at the far end, with a worker setting pavers.
