The problem
Your driveway's the first thing people see.
It's also the hardest thing to redo. Pick the wrong finish or the wrong concreter and you're stuck looking at it for the next twenty years.
PROBLEM 02
Wrong finish for the job
Nobody explained the options, so you ended up with a finish that shows every tyre mark and oil spot.
PROBLEM 03
Cracks before the first summer
The base and steel got rushed to save a day. It looked right for a few months, then the cracks turned up.
PROBLEM 04
The cheap quote that wasn't
The price looked sharp until you found out what was left out: prep, steel, sealing and the clean-up.
Good concrete starts with picking the right finish.

Before and after
Drag it. Same driveway.
A steep block, boxed and steeled, then finished in exposed aggregate. Slide the handle to see what's sitting under the stone.
The bit nobody photographs: mesh up on chairs, formwork braced and set-out marked before a single barrow of concrete goes in.

Fair questions
Before you pick up the phone.
Which finish should I go with?
It depends on the house, the slope and how the area gets used. Exposed aggregate and charcoal hide marks better than plain. Stencil makes a statement but needs sealing and upkeep. Send us a photo and we'll tell you what we'd pour.
How much does a new driveway cost?
Size, access, how much digging is needed and the finish you choose all change the price. Send rough measurements and a couple of photos and we'll give you a proper quote, free.
What areas do you cover?
Melbourne, Gippsland and the Bass Coast. Not sure if you're in range? Call 0412 778 553 and we'll tell you straight.
My block is steep. Is that a problem?
No. Sloping driveways are a regular job for us, and exposed aggregate is a good pick for grip on a hill.
Does decorative concrete need looking after?
Stencil and coloured finishes need proper sealing and a bit of maintenance to stay looking sharp. We'll explain exactly what's involved before you choose.
Do you do commercial and civil work?
Yes. Alongside homes we pour footpaths and slabs for builders, developers and civil jobs.
