Concrete Driveway – Landscape Structures

We’re experienced in the formation of new concrete driveways, as well as the removal and replacement of existing driveways and parking surfaces, having provided this service all over Auckland since 1988. 

Quality concrete driveways that last are all about proper preparation. This includes excavation and compaction of base metal into the driveway area to create a solid foundation, and reinforcing mesh can provide additional strength and longevity to the life of your concrete.

We construct all of our new driveways with a minimum 100mm thick of well-compacted basecourse aggregate and 665 grade reinforcing mesh to reduce the chance of your concrete cracking over its lifetime. This is important because skimping in this area can lead to unfortunate results, so ensure you aren’t receiving anything less if comparing us with another quote.

Note that in some instances it is advisable to install 150-200mm of compacted basecourse – we can advise on this.

Cost to construct new Concrete Driveway in Auckland:

The costs for a new driveway will depend on size and specifics. Plain broom-finished concrete is the least expensive and a highly popular option. Typically this can range from $90 per square metre on a large job with light excavation, to $120+ per square metre on a small job that requires additional preparation.

Exposed concrete is also very popular around Auckland City at the moment, using either crushed rock or river pebble mixes, and additional colour can be added to suit. This typically adds in the range of $15-$25 per square metre, depending on aggregate/pebble specified and the finish you desire.
