How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

A standard driveway usually takes 3–5 days from excavation to finished surface, depending on size, weather, and curing time.

How long before I can drive on my new concrete driveway?

You can usually walk on it after 24 hours, but we recommend waiting at least 7 days before driving a car on it to allow the concrete to fully cure.

Which driveway option is most affordable?

Plain grey concrete is the most budget-friendly choice. Exposed aggregate and coloured concrete offer a more premium look at a higher cost.

Will the colour fade or peel over time?

No. Our coloured concrete has the pigment mixed right through the slab, so it won’t peel or wash away like surface paint.

Do I need council approval for a new driveway or crossover?

Yes, in most Adelaide councils you’ll need approval for a new driveway or crossover. We can assist with paperwork and compliance to make the process smooth.

How do I maintain an exposed aggregate driveway?

We recommend sealing it every few years to protect against stains and enhance the stone finish. Regular sweeping and occasional washing is enough for day-to-day upkeep.

Is reinforced concrete included in the cost?

Yes, all our driveways are steel-reinforced as standard, ensuring strength and durability for decades.
