Grass driveways
A grass driveway is not merely a lawn that runs from the street to the garage; it’s an area of reinforced grass designed to withstand vehicular traffic. The reinforcement can come from two factors: the species of grass used and/or a system of plastic rings or grids.
Bitumen/asphalt driveways
A bitumen or asphalt driveway is a durable and cost-effective surface commonly used in Australian homes and rural areas. It consists of bitumen, a sticky petroleum product, mixed with aggregate like sand, gravel or crushed stone. This mixture is heated, spread on a prepared base, then compacted to form a smooth, solid surface suitable for vehicles.
Gravel driveways
A gravel driveway is composed of loose aggregate, typically bordered by materials such as concrete, timber, or metal to contain the gravel and prevent it from spreading. The aggregate can vary in size and colour, offering a range of aesthetic options.
Brick and paving driveways
A brick driveway is made from fired clay bricks or concrete pavers laid on a prepared base. This creates a durable, attractive surface suitable for many residential settings.
Concrete driveways
A concrete driveway is a durable surface made by mixing cement with aggregate materials like sand, gravel, or crushed stone. It can be finished in various ways, including plain, coloured, exposed aggregate, or stencilled, to suit different aesthetic preferences.
