Durable Driveways with Quality Finishes
Concrete driveways are an investment in both form and function. Designed to support the weight of vehicles while maintaining a clean appearance, they must be poured with the right techniques and attention to site conditions.
Our driveway concreting process starts with a site inspection, followed by the installation of standard frame formwork and reinforced steel tied securely into place. The concrete is then poured and finished by our qualified concreters, with a surface finish tailored to meet the needs of the property. Where required, we provide extra labour and saw cutting to complete the job efficiently and safely.
Whether you're upgrading an old surface or planning a brand new installation, we ensure your driveway is built to withstand the elements and the demands of daily traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
While concrete begins to set within hours, most driveways should not be used by vehicles for at least seven days. This allows enough time for the concrete to gain sufficient strength. Full curing may take longer, but waiting a week helps prevent surface damage and ensures a longer lifespan.
What makes concrete driveways better than other materials?
Concrete is a popular driveway choice because it's durable, low-maintenance and built to handle regular vehicle traffic. Unlike gravel or some pavers, a concrete surface won't shift, sink or scatter. With a properly poured and finished surface, a concrete driveway offers long-term performance and a clean, professional look.
Does a driveway need steel reinforcement?
Yes. Steel reinforcement is commonly used in concrete driveways to reduce the risk of cracking and increase load-bearing strength. Reinforced steel is tied securely before the concrete is poured, helping to hold the slab together under pressure from vehicles or ground movement.
