What Driveway Paving Involves
Driveway paving can be completed with a variety of materials, including concrete, clay brick, natural stone, and modern pavers. Each material offers different visual and practical benefits, from the traditional look of brick to the sleek finish of stone.
The Driveway Paving Process
We begin by removing any existing surface and preparing the site, which may include excavation and levelling. A strong base is installed to ensure the driveway’s durability, followed by the careful laying of the chosen paving material. The joints are filled, and the surface is finished for long-term performance.
Benefits of a Paved Driveway
A well-paved driveway improves access to a property, enhances kerb appeal, and can increase market value. Quality materials and proper installation help ensure the surface resists wear, cracking, and movement over time.

Driveway Paving FAQs
A professionally paved driveway can last 20–30 years in Melbourne, provided it is installed with a strong base and maintained properly. The durability depends on the paving material, traffic load, and sealing, but quality concrete or stone pavers are designed to withstand regular vehicle use.
For driveways, the most popular paving materials are concrete pavers, clay brick, and natural stone. Each offers different benefits — concrete is highly durable, brick provides a classic look, and stone adds a premium finish. Our team recommends the best option based on your property style and budget.
In most cases, minor driveway paving doesn’t require a permit. However, if you’re creating a new vehicle crossing, altering the street kerb, or working close to drainage and utilities, council approval may be needed. We can guide you through this process to ensure compliance.
Yes. When installed correctly with a reinforced base and compacted layers, driveway pavers are designed to handle the weight of cars, SUVs, and even small trucks. Choosing thicker, high-strength pavers ensures maximum load-bearing capacity.
Driveway pavers are low maintenance. We recommend occasional sweeping, hosing down to remove dirt, and resealing every few years to protect against stains, oil, and tyre marks. Repairs are easy, as individual pavers can be replaced without disturbing the entire driveway.
Most residential driveway paving projects in Melbourne are completed within 3–7 days, depending on the size of the driveway, site conditions, and the type of pavers used. Complex designs or additional excavation may extend the timeframe slightly.
