Why Choose Cinerari Contracting

Driveways and footpaths are high-use surfaces exposed to traffic loads, weather and water runoff. Poor preparation or incorrect construction can lead to cracking, settlement, trip hazards and drainage issues.

Our experience across civil, commercial and residential environments allows us to deliver surfaces that are compliant, safe and built to last.

Cinerari Contracting approaches driveway and footpath construction with a structural, performance-led mindset. We ensure correct excavation depths, stable sub-bases, accurate formwork and appropriate reinforcement before concrete is placed. Surface finishes are selected based on function, safety and durability rather than appearance alone.

Key Features of Our Driveways & Footpaths Service

01. Correct Ground Preparation

Sub-bases are prepared and compacted to support traffic loads and prevent settlement.

02. Accurate Set-Out & Levels

Driveways and footpaths are carefully set out with correct widths, gradients, and smooth transitions for safe and accessible use.

03. Slip-Resistant Finishes

Surface finishes are selected with safety in mind, providing reliable traction for both vehicular and pedestrian use.

04. Clean, Safe Worksites

Public and site safety is proactively managed throughout construction to ensure a safe environment for all.

    Frequently asked questions

    Exposed aggregate driveways in Melbourne run $130–$200 per square metre supplied and laid for standard residential work, depending on aggregate type, slab thickness, reinforcement, and access. Premium aggregates (red granite, charcoal, mixed coloured) sit at the higher end.
    100mm thick is standard for cars and light vehicles. For heavier loads — boats, caravans, vans — we recommend 125mm with SL82 mesh reinforcement and a thickened edge beam.
    Yes. We hold the relevant council pre-approvals and can manage the crossover application and construction on most metro Melbourne council areas. We coordinate the inspection and rebate process where applicable.
    We pour with all standard Boral, Holcim, and HiQuality mixes — granites, basalt, polished pebble, mixed coloured. We will bring samples to site so the client picks the look before the pour.
    Light foot traffic after 24 hours, light vehicles after 7 days, heavy vehicles after 28 days. We will seal the driveway 4–6 weeks after the pour once initial curing is complete.
    Yes. Exposed aggregate needs a penetrating sealer applied 4–6 weeks after the pour and re-sealed every 2–3 years. Sealing protects against staining, freeze-thaw damage, and aggregate loosening.
    Yes. Sequencing the driveway after the build is the norm — the driveway pour is typically the last concrete work on site. We can do both off the same quote and the same crew.
    A 60–80m² driveway is a 3–4 day job: prep and form on day one, reinforcement and pour on day two, wash-out on day three, saw-cuts on day four. Larger driveways are scheduled in stages.
