What concrete looks like in Coventry Hills right now
Coventry Hills was established in 1991 and built out through the 1990s, so the community’s first driveways and garage pads are now past the 30-year line. It is one of the larger family communities in the NE, which means a lot of homes are reaching that replacement point at the same time.
The wear pattern here is straightforward: surface scaling from three decades of road salt, control joints that have widened into cracks, and aprons that have dropped where the original base was thin. A lot of Coventry pads were poured at the early-90s standard — minimal reinforcement, light sub-base — which is exactly why they are failing now while a properly built slab would still have years left.
Coventry also has a strong appetite for detached garages and RV parking. With Stoney Trail and the airport close by, it is a community of trades, travellers and families who need a garage pad that handles real weight, not a builder-minimum slab.

What concrete costs in Coventry Hills
Current 2026 Calgary ranges. Most Coventry work is replacement, so include the breakout line in your budget.
Includes site prep, compacted gravel sub-base, forming, rebar, 32 MPa air-entrained pour, finishing, control joints and cleanup. Sealer quoted separately. Removing the old slab and upsizing a garage pad to 5–6″ for heavier loads are the two things that move a Coventry number.
Why Coventry Hills homeowners call us
The reason these 1990s slabs are failing is the reason to do the next one right. We pour every Coventry pad and driveway over a compacted road-crush base with a 10M rebar grid — the reinforcement the originals skipped — so the replacement does not repeat the same 30-year cycle.
The full spec applies on every job: a 32 MPa air-entrained CSA mix for freeze-thaw, control joints at 8–10 ft, 5–6″ thickness on garage and RV pads, and a protected 28-day cure. You deal with owner Leonardo Aiello directly, and the work is backed by the Alberta New Home Warranty Program.
Coventry Hills concrete questions
My Coventry driveway is about 30 years old — repair or replace?
At 30 years, with scaling and widened joints, replacement is usually the better spend. The early-90s pours here were built light on reinforcement, so patching rarely holds. We assess on site for free and tell you which way the numbers point.
I want a detached garage pad for a trailer or RV — what do you pour?
For real weight we pour at 5–6 inches over a compacted base with a rebar grid, not the thin builder-minimum slab. That is the difference between a pad that cracks under a loaded trailer and one that does not. We size it to what you are parking on it.
Why did my original garage pad crack so badly?
Almost always thin base prep and little or no reinforcement, which was common in early-90s NE builds. Add 30 years of freeze-thaw and salt, and the slab gives out. The fix is a proper rebuild, and it lasts far longer than the first one did.
