Antonio completed our bluestone paving in Hampton and the result is outstanding. The levels, drainage and finishing details are flawless. Highly recommended for high-end paving.
We had a fairly complicated drainage issue on the site, but Antonio came up with a solution and executed it perfectly. The workmanship was top quality, and there were no unexpected surprises along the way.
Antonio runs a very professional small business. Friendly, punctual and hard working. Built 2 retaining walls and remodelled our driveway paving. Would use Antonio's service again.
Antonio and his colleague did a great job with our backyard brick laying. Easy to deal with, on time and professional.
Antonio just completed some brick paving alongside our front fence. The paving looks fabulous and was completed in 2 days. He was reliable and the work was completed to a high standard.
Antonio cleared out our small backyard, laid some pavers and built a step around our existing deck. He was quick to respond, well priced, and was happy to change and vary the scope of works as needed.
Boronia sits at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, with 1960s–80s family homes on medium to large blocks, many on sloping streets. Leafy gardens, long driveways and backyards that need levelling are common.
Boronia's hills and clay soil mean paving needs a solid compacted base, careful falls and often retaining walls and steps. We plan levels and drainage first, so water runs safely downhill and away from the house.
Driveway replacements, patios, garden paths, retaining walls and steps, and paver relaying where older paving has shifted on the slope.
On steep driveways we use pavers or exposed aggregate for grip, a deeper base and strong edges, and add drains at the bottom so water doesn't run into the garage.
Boronia is in the City of Knox. Any change to the vehicle crossing between the footpath and the road needs a council permit, and new stormwater must connect to a legal point of discharge — we plan both on the first site visit. Some retaining walls need a building permit depending on height. As a guide (inc GST): a 40m² paved driveway is about $5,600–$8,800 and retaining walls quoted after a site visit.
Charcoal and brindle pavers, bluestone and exposed aggregate for driveways; brick and crazy paving for garden paths; block or sleeper walls matched to the paving.
Near Boronia Junction and the station, blocks are flatter; toward the foothills and The Basin, they get steeper and leafier. Antonio quotes, plans and oversees every job personally.
Boronia (3155) is in the City of Knox. The jobs we quote most here are sloping driveways, patios, retaining walls and steps. The ground is mostly reactive clay, so a deep, compacted crushed-rock base and planned falls are non-negotiable. Every quote is free, written and fixed after Antonio has measured up on site.
Boronia sits at the foot of the Dandenongs, with family homes on sloping blocks and plenty of greenery. Bluestone is a durable choice for steps and paths on the slopes, while travertine suits sheltered backyard areas. For Boronia homes we often combine the two: bluestone steps, edges and pool coping with a travertine terrace, which keeps the look calm and consistent. Bluestone brings a dark, crisp edge that suits both period and modern homes, while travertine's warm cream tones stay comfortable underfoot on hot days. We bring real samples to the site visit, so you can see the colour against your bricks and render before you decide. Both stones should be sealed with a penetrating sealer to resist stains, then resealed every few years. Every stone job gets a fixed written price after a free site visit. Bluestone paving is $190–$300/m² and travertine $180–$280/m² including GST, fully installed with excavation, base and clean-up. See our bluestone and travertine pages for finishes and photos.
Boronia's slopes mean water moves fast across hard surfaces. A permeable driveway slows the runoff, and on steeper sites we combine it with drains so water doesn't reach the garage. The surface looks like a normal paved driveway, but the joints and the base let rain soak through, which cuts puddles and runoff to the street. Driveway stormwater has to reach the legal point of discharge for your block, which the City of Knox can confirm, and any new or wider crossover needs a council permit. For new homes and units, Victorian planning rules also expect at least 20% of the site to be left permeable, and permeable pavers can help meet that. On clay we lay a deeper open-graded base that stores rain and releases it slowly, with an overflow to the drain for heavy storms. A light sweep and an occasional top-up of joint aggregate keeps it draining well for years. Permeable paving is $150–$220/m² including GST, fully installed with the open-graded base.

On Boronia's sloping blocks, paths and driveways can creep downhill if edges aren't held. We rebuild the base, add firm edge restraints and re-lay the pavers so they stay put. We fix sunken pavers, tree-root lifting, rocking pavers, spreading edges, broken pavers and joints that have lost their sand. A proper repair means lifting the section, digging out the soft material, compacting new crushed rock and re-laying the original pavers to the same pattern. Landlords and property managers in Boronia often call us about trip hazards before an inspection; re-levelling early is cheaper than dealing with an injury later. Every repair comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, written into your quote. Re-laying existing pavers costs $90–$150/m² including GST, with a $1,000 minimum job — usually much less than new paving, because your existing pavers are reused. Text photos to 0406 170 544 for a quick price range, or see our paver repairs page. We also fix paving in Wantirna and Knoxfield.
Most paving jobs in Boronia cost $150–$300/m² including GST, depending on material — brick from $150/m², bluestone from $190/m² and pool paving from $200/m². Every quote is free and provided in writing after an on-site measure-up.
