About concrete driveways
A concrete driveway involves excavation, forming, a compacted base, reinforcement, then the pour and finish, and it needs proper thickness and jointing to handle vehicle loads without cracking. The base and steel are as important as the concrete. Ask about thickness, reinforcement and the finish before you compare quotes.
Getting quotes in Gailes
For concrete driveways, ask each concreter two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Gailes. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Springfield - Redbank run.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for concrete driveways is flexible, include that in the Gailes request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
