New driveways, shed slabs and exposed aggregate for Cranbourne East's growing estates — poured to last.
Cranbourne East has been one of Melbourne's fastest-growing addresses for years, with new estates rolling out around Casey Fields and the Casey ARC. If you're building here, you're likely starting from scratch — no old driveway to remove, just a bare block that needs a slab poured right the first time.
We work with Cranbourne East homeowners and builders on new driveways, crossover construction, shed slabs for the double garages and workshops going up, and the exposed aggregate finishes that have become the go-to look for these new estates. Because everything's new, the subgrade often hasn't settled and the service trenches under driveways can be soft — we compact properly and wait where we need to, so you don't end up with a cracked driveway six months after handover.
We'll also coordinate with your builder on levels, set-downs and the crossover permit so the pour fits your build schedule, not the other way around.
New estates around Cranbourne East are often built on reclaimed farmland with a clay subgrade that's been cut and filled during development. That fill settles — sometimes for years — and a driveway poured too early over soft fill will crack along the trench lines. We compact the subgrade in layers, proof-roll it to find soft spots, and use 100mm thickness with F62 mesh as a minimum. On wider double driveways we add extra joints to control where the slab flexes as the ground underneath continues to settle. It's the difference between a driveway that looks good at handover and one that still looks good in five years.
New crossovers in Cranbourne East are assessed by City of Casey as part of the vehicle crossing permit process. In fresh estates the council often has standard crossover drawings and set-down levels already set — we pour to match those exactly so your final inspection goes through cleanly.
The finish of choice for Cranbourne East's new builds — hard-wearing stone exposed on the surface, in warm, cool or mixed blends that complement modern render homes.
Clean, cost-effective pours for new driveways and paths, finished to match your home's render colours.

Exposed aggregate in Cranbourne East typically runs $120–$170 per m² depending on the stone blend. A new double driveway of 60–80 m² usually sits between $7,500 and $13,500. Plain concrete new driveways come in lower, around $75–$100 per m².
All the time. We coordinate set-downs, levels and pour timing with your builder or siteworks contractor so the driveway slots into the build program.
After services, paving and landscaping levels are set and the subgrade has had time to firm up. We advise on timing at inspection — pouring too early on soft fill is the main cause of early cracking.
Yes. We construct the crossover to City of Casey standards and can arrange the vehicle crossing permit, or work with your builder who already has one.
It has more grip than plain concrete, which is one reason it's popular on Cranbourne East's sloping blocks. We can also do a light exposure for a finer texture.
