Calgary Concrete Contractors
Patriarch Construction is a Calgary concrete contractor founded in 1920. The Aiello family has poured concrete in Calgary for four generations, and Patriarch Construction builds concrete driveways, garage pads, patios, sidewalks and stamped concrete engineered for Calgary’s freeze-thaw climate. Every pour carries a warranty, and every quote is free and on site across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane and Chestermere.
What Patriarch Construction pours
Patriarch Construction pours residential and commercial concrete across Calgary. Three service groups cover most Calgary properties.
Driveways & garage pads
Patriarch Construction pours new concrete driveways, replaces failed driveways and widens existing driveways. Every driveway carries steel or fibre reinforcement over a compacted gravel base, so the slab takes Calgary winters and vehicle loads without cracking.

Patios & decorative concrete
Patriarch Construction finishes concrete patios in broom, exposed aggregate and stamped textures. Stamped concrete reproduces flagstone, slate and cobblestone at a fraction of the cost of natural stone, and exposed aggregate grips underfoot through a Calgary winter.
Patios & decks →
Sidewalks, steps & staircases
Patriarch Construction forms sidewalks to City of Calgary grade requirements and builds every step to Alberta Building Code rise-and-run limits. Correct grading moves meltwater away from the foundation instead of toward it.
Sidewalks & steps →Patriarch Construction also pours garage pads, basement slabs and foundations, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate and commercial concrete, and handles breakout and haul away on removals.

Why Calgary homeowners choose Patriarch Construction
Most Calgary concrete contractors opened within the last decade. Patriarch Construction has worked as a Calgary concrete contractor since 1920. Four generations of the Aiello family have watched which slabs survive Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles and which slabs fail under them, and that record — not marketing — sets the specification above.
The Aiello family founded Patriarch Construction in 1920. Leonardo Aiello owns and runs the company today and has worked concrete for more than 15 years himself.
Patriarch Construction carries WCB coverage and liability insurance, so the homeowner carries no liability for the crew on the property. Patriarch Construction supplies documentation on request.
Leonardo Aiello walks the site and prices the work personally. No call centre and no commissioned salesperson stands between the homeowner and the owner.
Air-entrained mix, a compacted sub-base and correct control jointing prevent the three failures that crack most Calgary driveways.
The Alberta New Home Warranty Program backs Patriarch Construction workmanship. Alberta’s largest residential warranty program stands behind the pour.
Every Patriarch Construction quote itemizes demolition, grading, forming, the pour, the finish and cleanup before a single form goes in the ground.
Concrete built for Calgary’s freeze-thaw climate
Calgary cycles through more than 100 freeze-thaw events a year, and a Chinook can lift Calgary’s temperature by 20°C in a single afternoon. That cycle destroys concrete poured without air entrainment: the surface pits, scales and flakes, the control joints break down, and the slab eventually delaminates.
The remedy is well documented and rarely executed. A compacted gravel sub-base carries the load. An air-entrained 32 MPa mix at 5–7% air content gives freezing water somewhere to expand. Control joints cut at 8–10 feet direct the cracking into a line nobody notices. A 28-day cure protected from early traffic finishes the slab. A contractor who skips any one of those four steps bills the homeowner twice — once for the pour, once for the replacement five winters later. Patriarch Construction builds every driveway, patio and garage pad to all four.
Concrete prices in Calgary, 2026
Most Calgary concrete contractors withhold a number until a sales call. Patriarch Construction publishes its 2026 ranges by finish.
Every price includes site preparation, the gravel sub-base, forming, rebar or mesh, a 32 MPa air-entrained pour, finishing, control joints and cleanup. Patriarch Construction quotes sealer separately. Five variables move the price: removal of existing concrete, slope and drainage correction, slab thickness above 4″, decorative curves and borders, and site access — a back-yard pour needs a pump, a front driveway does not.

How Patriarch Construction pours concrete in Calgary
Four stages run every Patriarch Construction project, from the first site visit to the warranty handover.
Leonardo Aiello or a senior lead walks the site with the homeowner, measures the area, and reports what the concrete actually needs.
The quote breaks out demolition, grading, gravel, forms, rebar, the pour, the finish, the joints and cleanup. Patriarch Construction issues no surprise invoices.
One Patriarch Construction crew runs the project start to finish. The supplier delivers CSA-approved 32 MPa air-entrained mix fresh to the site.
The slab takes foot traffic at 24 hours and vehicles at 7 days, and reaches full strength at 28 days. Patriarch Construction completes a final walk-through and hands over the warranty paperwork.

Calgary concrete questions, answered
These are the questions Calgary homeowners ask Patriarch Construction most often about driveways, patios and concrete repair.
What concrete services does Patriarch Construction provide in Calgary?
Patriarch Construction provides residential and commercial concrete across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks. The service list covers driveways, garage pads, patios and decks, sidewalks, steps and staircases, basement slabs and foundations, decorative stamped concrete and exposed aggregate, plus breakout and haul away. The Aiello family owns Patriarch Construction, and a warranty backs every project.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Calgary?
A Calgary concrete driveway costs $12 to $14 per square foot in a brushed finish, $16 to $18 per square foot in exposed aggregate, and $18 to $20 per square foot in stamped concrete. Removal of an existing driveway adds breakout and haul away at $4 to $6 per square foot. Slope correction, drainage work, thicker slabs, decorative curves and back-yard pump access each move the total. Patriarch Construction issues every quote free, in writing, itemized line by line.
Which concrete finish performs best in Calgary’s freeze-thaw climate?
Exposed aggregate performs best in Calgary. The pebbled texture grips underfoot, hides road salt and tire marks, and survives a snow shovel. A brushed finish performs almost as well and costs less. Stamped concrete looks best of the three, but stamped concrete needs a non-slip additive such as Shark Grip in the sealer to stay winter-safe. The finish matters less than the slab under it: any Calgary slab needs a 4-inch minimum thickness, an air-entrained 32 MPa mix, a drainage grade and control joints at 8 to 10 feet.
How long does a Calgary concrete driveway or patio take to complete?
A Calgary driveway replacement takes 3 to 4 days, weather permitting: demolition and excavation on day one, forming, base and rebar next, then the pour and finish. Patios and sidewalks finish faster. The slab takes foot traffic at 24 hours, vehicles at 7 days minimum, and reaches full strength at 28 days. Patriarch Construction will not pour if the forecast drops below roughly 5°C within 48 hours of the pour.
Does a Calgary driveway need concrete repair or full replacement?
Not every driveway needs replacing. Repair handles hairline cracks, shallow surface spalling and isolated damage. Replacement is the correct call for widespread cracking, frost heaving, exposed rebar, or concrete 25 to 30 years or older. Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycle accelerates damage quickly, so a hairline crack in the fall can open into a failure by spring. Patriarch Construction assesses the slab on site free and recommends the smaller job when the smaller job is the right one.
What concrete mix does Patriarch Construction use in Calgary?
Patriarch Construction pours CSA-approved 32 MPa air-entrained concrete at 5 to 7 percent air content on residential flatwork. Entrained air creates microscopic voids inside the slab, and freezing water expands into those voids instead of pushing the surface apart. Patriarch Construction places that mix over 4 to 6 inches of compacted road-crush gravel, reinforces it with a rebar grid or fibre mesh, and cuts control joints every 8 to 10 feet.
Who owns Patriarch Construction?
Leonardo Aiello owns and operates Patriarch Construction. The Aiello family founded the company in Calgary in 1920, and Leonardo Aiello is the fourth generation to run it. Leonardo Aiello has worked concrete for more than 15 years and personally quotes the projects Patriarch Construction takes on.
