Driveways & Concreting
Plain concrete, exposed aggregate, and coloured finishes for driveways, paths, and slabs — quoted from your photos before anyone steps on site.
About this job
A driveway takes the heaviest daily wear of any concrete on a property, so it gets treated as a structural job first and a finish second: correct base preparation, reinforcement, and control joints, then the surface you actually chose.
Plain broom-finished concrete, exposed aggregate, and coloured or stencilled options are all quoted the same way — send photos of the area and rough dimensions, and a written quote comes back before any inspection is booked, so there is no cost to finding out what a job would run.
Existing cracked or sunken driveways can usually be replaced without full removal of the base if it is still sound; that gets confirmed on inspection rather than assumed from photos alone.
What's included
- Base preparation, reinforcement, and control joints included in every quote — not an optional extra
- Plain, exposed aggregate, and coloured/stencilled finish options
- Photos-first quoting: a written estimate before any site visit is booked
- Old slab removal and disposal quoted as part of the job, not billed separately after the fact

Permits & approvals
Some driveway and crossover work needs council approval depending on the property and council area — we confirm requirements with council before work starts, as part of the quote process.
Common questions
How long does a driveway take from quote to finished job?
Depends on the queue and the weather window needed for the pour to cure properly — the exact timeline is confirmed once a quote is accepted, not promised up front.
Can you quote from photos alone, or do you need to inspect first?
Most driveways can get a written estimate from clear photos and rough measurements. A short on-site inspection is only booked if the quote needs to be confirmed as a firm price, or if the job looks unusual once the photos come in.
Do you remove the old driveway, or just pour over it?
Removal is assessed per job — a sound existing base can sometimes be built on, but a cracked or heaving slab is removed and disposed of rather than covered over.
