Parap Concrete Driveways

If the driveway is mostly level with a few fine cracks and a sound base, repair and resurfacing can be good value. If it is badly broken, sunken, lifting or draining towards the house, replacement is usually the better long-term choice. We inspect the slab and explain our reasoning, including cost differences, so you can decide.

Yes. We work around existing posts and stairs, and we check how they are fixed before any demolition. Where posts or tie-downs are anchored into old concrete, we plan the work to avoid weakening those connections. If structural changes are needed, that is a job for your builder or engineer, and we can work alongside them.

The slab itself may be part of a larger carport project that needs a building permit from a registered building certifier, particularly as structures in Darwin must be designed for cyclonic wind loads. Requirements depend on the structure and your site. We recommend checking with a certifier or your builder before work starts, and we can pour to the engineer's or builder's specifications.

Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two, and cars after about a week, depending on the mix, weather and thickness. Heavier vehicles need longer. We give you specific advice for your job, and we recommend keeping trailers, trucks and skip bins off new concrete until it has properly cured.
