Concrete Driveways
The first thing people see. The last thing you want to redo.
We design, form and pour driveways across the Gold Coast — from single-car strips in Palm Beach to sweeping hinterland approaches. Every driveway gets a compacted sub-base, proper steel and falls to stormwater, so it stays flat and dry for decades.
Often chosen with exposed aggregate driveways, concrete crossovers, concrete removal & demolition.

Concrete Driveways questions, answered
How long does a new driveway take?
Most residential driveways take 3–5 days from removal to finish, depending on size, access and weather. You can walk on it after 24–48 hours and drive on it after 7 days.
Can you match my neighbour’s driveway?
Usually, yes. Bring us a photo or point us to it during the site measure and we’ll match the finish, colour or stone blend as closely as possible.
What thickness should my driveway be?
Standard cars need 100 mm with SL82 mesh. If you park a caravan, boat or work ute, we go to 125–150 mm with heavier steel, and we thicken the edges where vehicles turn in.
Can you pour a driveway on a steep block?
Yes. Steep driveways get a broom or exposed finish for grip, extra control joints, and a transition shaped so cars don’t scrape at the top or bottom. We check the grade at the site measure.
How do you stop water pooling on a driveway?
We set falls of about 1:100 away from the house and towards the street or a grated drain. Where the block falls back to the garage, we add a strip drain across the driveway connected to stormwater.
