Pathways & Driveways

Driveways & pathways with street appeal

Street appeal is how your property looks from the street, and one of the first things people notice is the driveway. It's usually a large part of the front yard, so many people choose to make it a feature.

Concrete and stamped concrete

Some people like a clean plain-concrete look; others choose stamped concrete, where a pattern is pressed into the wet concrete and coloured with oxide to give a paved look for a fraction of the price. There are plenty of colours and pattern sizes to choose from.

Our driveways are a minimum of 100 mm of steel-reinforced concrete to prevent cracking and handle heavy loads such as trucks.

Paved and natural stone driveways

A paved driveway takes a little more work but gives a great finished product that adds value to your property. We start with a reinforced concrete slab at least 100 mm thick, then a bed of coarse paving sand at least 30 mm deep, then your choice of paver and pattern.

For natural stone we follow the same process but lay the stone on a wet mix of sand and cement for a stronger bond to the slab, eliminating movement and cracking. Paths linking the driveway to the front door are built the same way, tying in with the landscape design.

Pathways & Driveways FAQs

How thick should a concrete driveway be?

We pour driveways at a minimum of 100 mm of steel-reinforced concrete, which resists cracking and carries heavy vehicles. Some sites need thicker slabs or extra reinforcement.

Is stamped concrete cheaper than paving?

Generally yes. Stamped concrete gives a paved appearance for a fraction of the cost of laying individual pavers, though pavers are easier to repair and add a premium look.
