Our Driveway Construction Process
Creating a long-lasting driveway involves more than just laying gravel or bitumen—it requires careful planning, proper preparation and skilled execution. Here’s how we approach every driveway construction in Gympie project:
- Site Assessment: We inspect your property to evaluate access, slope, drainage and soil conditions.
- Ground Preparation: The area is cleared of vegetation and debris before levelling and compacting the base.
- Sub-Base Installation: A solid sub-base is laid to support long-term durability and prevent future shifting or sinking.
- Surface Application: Your chosen surface material—such as gravel, road base or asphalt—is evenly spread and compacted.
- Final Finishing: Edges are shaped, drainage is checked and the driveway is finished to a smooth, clean standard.
Let us build your driveway the right way—reliable, durable and built to suit your land..
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be used for driveway construction?
Common materials include gravel, asphalt, concrete, pavers, and road base. The best choice depends on your property’s needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Each material has different benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, appearance, and suitability for residential, commercial, or rural applications.
Can existing driveways be resurfaced or extended?
Yes, driveways can often be resurfaced or extended without a full rebuild. New material can be laid over existing surfaces if the base is stable. Extensions require proper preparation and matching materials to ensure seamless integration and long-term performance.
How long will a driveway last?
The lifespan depends on materials and maintenance. Gravel driveways can last 10–20 years with upkeep, while concrete and asphalt may last 20–30 years or more. Regular maintenance such as grading, sealing, or cleaning helps extend the driveway’s functional life.
