Frequently Asked Questions

What preparation is required before building a driveway?

Driveway construction requires proper site preparation, including clearing, excavation, levelling, and compacting the base. A stable sub-base is essential to support the surface material and prevent movement over time. Drainage also needs to be considered to avoid water pooling or erosion, especially on sloped or high-traffic areas.

How do you ensure a driveway doesn’t crack or sink over time?

Preventing cracks or sinking largely depends on the quality of the base preparation and compaction. Poor soil conditions, inadequate drainage, or insufficient base layers can lead to movement and failure. Using the correct materials, compacting in layers, and allowing for proper water runoff all play a key role in long-term durability.

Do you need council approval to build a driveway?

Council approval may be required when constructing a new driveway, particularly if it connects to a public road or involves changes to kerbing, footpaths, or drainage. Requirements vary depending on the local council and the scope of work. In most cases, approvals ensure the driveway meets safety and access standards.
