What this means for concrete work
New subdivisions typically mean a first driveway, a first patio and a first set of walkways, often after the builder's basic finishes. Common projects include upgrading to exposed aggregate or stamped finishes, adding a concrete patio once the lot is graded and widening a driveway for a second vehicle. See driveway widening.
Newly graded lots can settle during the first years, and drainage is still being established. If your lot has recently been graded, talk to your contractor about waiting for settlement or providing a stable base, and about how water will run off a new patio.
Exposure to lake-effect snow means plenty of snow clearing, which affects salt use. See the salt and frost damage guide before choosing a sealer or de-icing routine.
Rules: who to ask
Komoka is in Middlesex Centre, so ask the Municipality of Middlesex Centre about driveway entrances, culverts, boulevards and building permits. If your property is in a newer subdivision, there may also be development agreements, grading plans or lot-grading rules that limit changes. Ask your builder or the municipality for the approved grading plan before changing drainage.
