Driveway finishes & options
Broom finish driveway (most popular in Victoria):
A classic, slip‑resistant texture that hides dust and light wear—ideal for our wet winters. Great value and fast to install.
Smooth / trowel finish:
Minimalist look that pairs well with modern homes. Best on gentle slopes. We can add light traction via micro‑texture.
Exposed aggregate driveway:
A premium look with local stone revealed at the surface. Highly durable, naturally slip‑resistant, and excellent at masking tire marks.
Stamped & coloured concrete:
Replicate stone, slate, or pavers with integral colour or hardener. Add decorative borders, banding, or saw‑cut panels for a custom design.
Reinforcement & performance options:
- Fibre‑reinforced mixes for added crack resistance.
- Steel reinforcement (rebar or welded wire mesh) by section or throughout.
- Sealer options (matte to gloss) to protect colour and make cleaning easier.
- Heating conduit and snow‑melt prep (upon request).
Our concrete driveway process (start to finish)
- On‑site assessment & quote
We evaluate access, slope, drainage, tree roots, and utilities. You’ll receive a fixed‑price quote with timeline, finish options, and any municipal considerations. - Design & layout
We confirm driveway width, transitions to garage/sidewalk, panel breaks, and control/expansion joint layout for a clean, modern look. - Excavation & base prep
Old driveway removal (if required), excavation to depth, and placement/compaction of a granular base. Proper base prep is the foundation of longevity. - Forms, reinforcement & utilities
Forms are set to grade and slope. Reinforcement (fibre, mesh, rebar) is installed as specified. Conduit for lighting or heat‑trace can be placed now. - Pour & finish
We pour the concrete, strike and screed to level, then apply your chosen finish (broom, smooth, exposed aggregate, or stamped). Edges and joints are tooled cleanly. - Curing & sealing
Proper curing protects strength and reduces surface dusting. We return for sealing (if selected) after the surface has sufficiently cured. - Clean‑up & walkthrough
We leave the site tidy, review maintenance, and provide your warranty details.
Typical thickness & spec: Most residential driveways are 100–125 mm (4–5 in) thick. Heavier vehicles or RV pads may benefit from 150 mm (6 in) and upgraded reinforcement. We’ll advise based on soil, slope, and usage.
Built for Victoria’s climate
- Drainage first: We set slopes to direct runoff away from structures and toward approved drainage points.
- Control joints: Strategically placed joints help manage shrinkage and reduce random cracking as temperatures and moisture change.
- Surface traction: Finishes like broom and exposed aggregate provide reliable grip during wet conditions.
Care & maintenance
- Initial cure: Light foot traffic after ~24–48 hours; avoid vehicles for 7–10 days (weather‑dependent).
- Sealing: Reseal every 2–3 years (or as wear indicates) to protect colour and make cleaning easier.
- Winter care: Avoid de‑icers containing ammonium sulphates/nitrates; use sand for traction.
- Cleaning: Gentle pressure wash and mild detergent as needed.
Replacement & extensions
If your existing driveway has settled, spalled, or heaved, we handle demolition, removal, and replacement. We can also widen driveways, add turning pads, or pour matching walkways and steps for a cohesive front‑yard design.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a driveway install take?
Most projects finish within
2–4 days on site (plus cure time) depending on size, finish, and site conditions.
Can you pour in winter?
Yes—with proper planning. We schedule around cold snaps, use seasonal mix adjustments, and protect fresh concrete during curing.
Will it crack?
All concrete experiences some movement. Our base prep, reinforcement, and joint layout help
control where hairline cracks occur and keep your driveway looking sharp.
What about permits?
Most private driveways don’t require full permits, but
municipal approvals may apply for curb crossings, drainage, or work in the road allowance. We’ll advise and coordinate as needed.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Victoria?
Cost depends on size, thickness, finish, access, and base prep. We provide a
fixed‑price written quote after a site visit—no surprises.
Do you handle drainage or trench drains?
Yes, we can integrate trench drains, catch basins, or swales if your site needs extra water management.
