DECORATIVE CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS
Looking for something “a little more fancy”?
Exposed Aggregate Driveways
Exposed aggregate driveways blend various materials, like gravel, pebbles, and stones, into cement, creating a textured, durable surface. This method enhances driveway aesthetics, offers slip resistance, and is low-maintenance, suitable for driveways and other outdoor entertaining areas.
Coloured Concrete Driveways
Coloured concrete driveways can help to improve the look and feel of your home’s exterior while matching your existing styling. With a diverse range of colour choices available, we can craft a driveway that not only complements but also enhances your home's overall aesthetic.
Stamped Concrete Driveways
Stamped concrete driveways offer the perfect balance of a high-end look from materials like stone or pavers, with the added benefit of easier upkeep.This option is perfect for those seeking a luxurious and sophisticated appearance without the extensive maintenance (or price tag!) typically associated with such materials.
Stencilled Concrete Driveways
Stencilled concrete driveways are a great concrete solution, allowing for unparalleled creativity in driveway design. With a range of patterns and styles to choose from, this option is ideal for homeowners looking to make a bold, personalised statement with their driveway, helping to give your home’s exterior a unique look.

Absolutely, for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and property value enhancement. Are we biased? Perhaps, but we are sticklers for quality construction, and believe that a professionally-installed concrete driveway is an affordable, long-term solution and is worth every penny.
When compared to other options like paving, concrete driveways often emerge as a cost-effective solution. They offer durability and longevity that can surpass other materials, leading to fewer replacements or repairs over time. While the initial investment may be similar to some alternatives, the long-term savings due to concrete’s robustness and minimal maintenance requirements make it a more economical choice in the long run. We offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality, ensuring you receive the best value.
A professionally-installed concrete driveway can last between 20 to 30 years or more, depending on environmental conditions and usage. While concrete requires little to no maintenance, regular maintenance can extend its lifespan.
For Melbourne concrete driveways, maintenance is barely required. If you want to extend the life of your driveway, you can opt for regular cleaning to remove dirt and debris, and consider resealing the surface every few years to protect against weathering, staining, and cracking.
The installation time for a concrete driveway can vary thanks to the classic Melbourne weather, but generally speaking, for a professional concreter, you can expect a few days up to one week. This timeframe is also dependent on the size and complexity of the project; in the instance that your new driveway needs multiple pours, this will extend the timeframe. For simple projects, you can expect this to be completed in a much more timely manner. It’s also important to note that concrete needs time to cure, so it may be a couple of days before the driveway can be used.
