How much does foundations cost in Hamilton?
Most Canadian homeowners pay $10-$16 per square foot installed for standard poured concrete flatwork - a plain or broom-finish driveway, patio, walkway or slab. Large simple pours drop toward $8/sq ft; decorative stamped or exposed-aggregate finishes run $16-$35. In whole-project terms, that puts most single-car driveways and mid-size patios between $4,000 and $8,000.
In Hamilton, ON, typical quotes tend to track the Canadian average, so the table below shows these national figures unchanged.
What moves the price: The low end is a plain broom-finish pour; the top end is decorative stamped, coloured or exposed-aggregate finishes, plus tear-out of old concrete first.
| Project | Typical cost in Hamilton |
|---|---|
| Plain poured concrete driveway | $12-$14 $8 to $20 per sq ft |
| Concrete driveway - full single-car project (~400 sq ft) | $5,000-$6,500 $4,000 to $8,000 per project |
| Concrete patio (plain broom finish) | $11-$13 $8 to $18 per sq ft |
| Concrete walkway / front sidewalk | $14-$16 $10 to $22 per sq ft |
| Concrete slab (garage floor, shed pad, general flatwork) | $10-$12 $7 to $16 per sq ft |
| Stamped concrete (patterned, coloured decorative) | $20-$24 $15 to $35 per sq ft |
| Exposed aggregate or coloured concrete | $16-$18 $12 to $25 per sq ft |
| Old concrete removal & disposal (tear-out before new pour) | $5-$6 $3 to $9 per sq ft |
What changes the price of foundations in Hamilton
- Ready-mix prices and season - concrete cost tracks cement and fuel prices, and cold-weather pours need heating blankets or additives that add to the bill.
- Size and shape of the pour - bigger jobs cost less per square foot because fixed costs (crew mobilization, forms, minimum concrete delivery, finishing) spread across more area; a short walkway carries a per-square-foot premium a large driveway doesn't.
- Finish type - a plain broom finish is the cheapest; colour or exposed aggregate adds a few dollars a square foot, and stamped patterns that mimic stone or brick can double or triple the per-square-foot price.
- Thickness and reinforcement - a 4-inch patio slab costs less than a 6-inch driveway built to carry vehicle weight, and wire mesh, rebar, or fibre reinforcement adds material and labour.
- Site prep and truck access - tearing out an old slab, regrading, soft or rocky soil, or a backyard the concrete truck can't reach (needing wheelbarrowing or a pump) all push the price toward the top of the range or beyond.
- Region and city - the Prairies and Atlantic Canada sit at the low end, while the Greater Toronto Area and BC's Lower Mainland run highest on both labour and ready-mix concrete.
How foundations prices vary across Canada
Big cities cost noticeably more. Toronto (GTA) and Vancouver / BC's Lower Mainland typically run about 15-25% above the national average and above rural areas in the same province, driven by higher labour rates, demand, and pricier ready-mix (roughly $195-$230/m3 in the GTA and BC vs $160-$190/m3 on the Prairies). Calgary, Ottawa, and Montreal sit modestly above average, around 10-15%. Small-town Prairies, Quebec outside Montreal, and Atlantic Canada sit at or slightly below the national average.

Why does a small walkway cost more per square foot than a big driveway?
Fixed costs - getting the crew and equipment on site, building forms, the minimum concrete delivery, and finishing - get spread across fewer square feet on a small job, so the per-square-foot price climbs. A 120 sq ft front walkway can run $10 to $22 per square foot, while the same concrete on a 600 sq ft driveway drops toward $10 to $14.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Canada?
For a standard plain poured driveway, most Canadian homeowners pay about $8 to $20 per square foot installed. A single-car driveway (roughly 400 sq ft) typically runs $4,000 to $8,000, and a double-car driveway (about 600 sq ft) $6,000 to $12,000, depending on finish, thickness, and site conditions.
Is stamped concrete worth the extra cost over plain concrete?
Stamped concrete runs about $15 to $35 per square foot versus $8 to $18 for plain - roughly two to three times the price. The premium pays for decorative forms, colour, and skilled labour that mimics stone, brick, or slate. Many homeowners choose stamped for patios and front walkways where looks matter, and stick with plain or broom-finish concrete for garage slabs and utility areas.
