Driveways engineered for Lyndhurst's duplexes and dual-occupancies — shared crossovers, sorted drainage, one clean finish.
Lyndhurst sits neatly between Cranbourne and Dandenong, just off Thompsons Rd, and it's become a hotspot for modern duplexes, dual-occupancy developments and townhouse builds where making the most of the block means getting the concrete right.
With two dwellings sharing one frontage, the driveway often has to do a lot — handle two cars, turn neatly, drain between the buildings, and still read as one cohesive entry rather than two slabs bolted together. We've poured plenty of shared and divided driveways across Lyndhurst, handling the tricky bits: shared crossovers, drainage easements between dwellings, and matching levels where two builds meet.
Whether you're a developer putting up a duplex, a homeowner subdividing, or you've got an established Lyndhurst home that needs its original driveway replaced, we'll quote it properly and pour it to last.
Lyndhurst blocks are often compact and cut to fit two dwellings, which means driveways run close to footings and boundary walls. On the reactive clay that underlies this area (H1/H2), we keep the driveway structurally independent of the dwelling footings — no bonding, with an expansion joint at the interface — so ground movement doesn't transfer cracking between the slab and the house. We pour at 100mm with F62 mesh minimum and design joint layouts that work with the narrow, shared geometry of duplex driveways rather than fighting it.
Because Lyndhurst sits within City of Casey, duplex and dual-occupancy crossovers need a vehicle crossing permit — and where two dwellings share a crossover, Casey sometimes requires a wider crossing or a second one. We pour to whatever the approved crossing design specifies and can talk you through the permit before we start.
Driveways engineered for two dwellings — shared crossovers, divided paths and drainage that works between buildings without ponding.
A premium, low-maintenance finish that suits modern Lyndhurst townhouse streetscapes and hides the daily wear of two households.
Clean coloured concrete with a central divider or contrasting inlay — a smart way to give each dwelling its own entry while keeping one cohesive look.
Shared duplex driveways in Lyndhurst usually run $90–$140 per m² for coloured concrete and $130–$180 per m² for exposed aggregate, with the total for a two-dwelling driveway typically between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on size and crossover requirements.
Yes — we do shared and divided driveways regularly. We sort the crossover, drainage and joint layout so it works as one pour but reads as two clean entries.
We pour to the approved City of Casey crossing design. Where a duplex needs a wider or second crossover, we flag that at quoting stage so you can get the permit sorted early.
Proper falls and a grated drain where needed. Water between closely-set dwellings is the most common issue we fix on Lyndhurst duplex sites — we design it out before we pour.
Yes. If the existing Casey crossover is staying, we grade the new driveway to meet it flush and keep the drainage line clear.
