Concrete driveways · Auckland
New and replacement driveways across Auckland, including excavation, base preparation, drainage, falls and vehicle crossings. What a driveway costs and how long it lasts is decided under the concrete, not on top of it.
New & replacement driveways
Excavation, base preparation, drainage, falls and vehicle crossings, quoted from the site.
Vehicle crossing included
The crossing at the street boundary is handled as part of the same job, not left as an afterthought.
Broom, exposed aggregate & coloured finishes
We'll show you recent examples of each and talk through cost, grip and how it ages.
Most of the driveway work we do is delivered alongside a renovation, new build or retaining wall project, rather than as a standalone job. If you do just need a driveway on its own, we're happy to quote that too.
Ōtara - Full house renovation
Stripped the original house back to its bones and completely renovated it from the ground up, inside and out.
Wattle Downs · Full house renovation
A full-house renovation with a new kitchen, refreshed interiors and a generous new deck that opens the home to the outdoors.
A replacement driveway is mostly a demolition and preparation job with a pour at the end. A new driveway on an undeveloped area is mostly earthworks and drainage. Both are quoted from the site, not from a rate card.
Breaking out and carting away the existing surface, including any unsuitable material underneath.
Cut to depth, compacted basecourse, and additional depth where the ground is soft.
Set so water goes where it should. Channel drains where the levels leave no alternative.
Steel sized for expected vehicle loads, control joints planned rather than cut wherever.
The section between your boundary and the road is the vehicle crossing, and it sits under Auckland Transport's rules rather than being a normal part of your property. New or altered crossings need approval before the work is done. We will tell you at the site visit whether your project touches it.
We do not publish a per-square-metre price, because the number would be wrong for most properties and it hides the preparation that actually matters.
Volume out, and the cost of getting it off site.
Soft or wet ground means more excavation and more basecourse.
Whether the truck can reach the pour, or a pump is required.
Channel drains, sumps and connections into the existing system.
Broom, exposed aggregate and coloured finishes each price differently.
Pours get moved for rain, and concrete needs time before vehicles go on it.
Yes. Removal, disposal and preparation of the subgrade are normally part of a replacement quote.
Broom finish, exposed aggregate and coloured concrete. We will show you what we have done recently and talk through cost, grip and how each ages.
The subgrade is cut to depth, unsuitable material is removed, and compacted basecourse is laid to the required thickness. Skipping this is why driveways crack.
If you are creating a new crossing or altering an existing one, yes. That part of the work sits under Auckland Transport's approval process and has to be sorted before the concrete goes in.
Sometimes. A new section will not match an old one exactly, and if the base has failed, patching buys a short amount of time. We will tell you which situation you are in.
Foot traffic comes first, vehicles later. We give you the specific dates for your pour, because it depends on the mix and the weather.
1. Tell us about the driveway: Approximate dimensions, new or replacement, and a photo from the street.
2. Site visit: Wwe check access, falls, the existing surface and the vehicle crossing.
3. Quote prepared: Normally within around three to five business days of the visit.
Approximate dimensions, whether it is new or a replacement, and a photo from the street is a good start.
