Concrete Driveways Melville

Every driveway is priced on its size, the finish you choose, how easy the site is to access and how much preparation the ground needs. As a guide, a plain grey driveway costs less per square metre than exposed aggregate, coloured or honed finishes. The only accurate figure is an on-site quote, so we come out, measure up and give you a clear itemised price with no obligation.

Most residential driveways in Melville are poured in a single day once the base is prepared, but the full job, from form-up and base work through to the pour, usually runs across a few days. After that the concrete needs to cure: keep to light foot traffic for the first couple of days and hold off driving on it for about a week.

We lay plain grey, exposed aggregate, coloured and honed concrete driveways, plus paths, crossovers and shed and garage slabs. Exposed aggregate is the most popular choice across Melville for its grip and looks, but we will talk you through what suits your home, your budget and the way the driveway will be used.

The driveway on your own property generally does not need approval, but the crossover, the section between the road and your boundary, usually does because it is council-controlled. We build crossovers to your local council's specifications and can point you to exactly what they require before we start.

Much of Perth, including Melville, sits on sandy or filled ground that shifts if concrete is poured straight onto it. We compact an engineered sub-base, add steel mesh reinforcement and cut correctly spaced control joints so your driveway stays flat and resists cracking for the long term.
