★★★★★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.

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.

Box Hill South is a residential pocket of post-war and 1960s homes, many on generous blocks, with townhouses replacing older houses street by street. Owners often want a full front-to-back upgrade rather than one small area.
Clay soils are the norm, so every job gets a properly excavated and compacted base, edge restraints and planned falls. We check where downpipes discharge so water isn't dumped onto the new paving.
Older homes near Wattle Park suit red and recycled brick or bluestone; family homes from the 60s and 70s suit charcoal or brindle pavers; new townhouses suit porcelain and exposed aggregate.
We remove the old surface, excavate, build a compacted base, set falls away from the house, then lay and cut the paving and fill the joints. Most 20–30m² patios take three to five working days.
Many owners here do the driveway, side path and back patio in one job. It usually costs less than three separate jobs, and the materials and levels flow from front to back. We price each area separately so you can see where the money goes.
Box Hill South is in the City of Whitehorse. 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. As a guide (inc GST): a 40m² paved driveway is about $5,600–$8,800 and a 25m² travertine alfresco about $4,500–$7,000.
Near Wattle Park and the Surrey Hills border, homes are older with established gardens; toward Middleborough Road and Burwood, more new townhouses have been built. Antonio measures up himself and gives a written fixed price.
Box Hill South (3128) is in the City of Whitehorse. The jobs we quote most here are driveways, alfresco areas, side paths and townhouse paving. 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.
Box Hill South has a mix of post-war brick homes and newer townhouses near Riversdale and Station Streets. Bluestone suits contemporary entries, while travertine is often chosen for compact backyard courtyards. We lay both stones for entries, porches, courtyards, alfresco areas and pool surrounds in Box Hill South, and match borders and steps so the whole outdoor area feels finished. 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. Both stones are laid on a compacted crushed-rock base with the right falls, so water runs away from the house and the stone stays level. We seal natural stone after laying so oil, wine and leaf stains wipe off, and we'll tell you when it needs resealing. 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.
With townhouse development increasing, Box Hill South sites are getting more hard surface. Permeable paving on driveways helps manage runoff on these smaller, busier blocks. 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. In the City of Whitehorse, a new or widened vehicle crossing needs a council permit, and stormwater from the driveway must go to the legal point of discharge that council sets for your property. 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. It handles cars and bins like any paved driveway; the only upkeep is keeping leaves and silt out of the joints. Permeable paving is $150–$220/m² including GST, fully installed with the open-graded base. Read more about permeable paving in Melbourne.
Paths and driveways in Box Hill South commonly sink near downpipes or crack on the clay. We fix the drainage cause, rebuild the base and re-lay the pavers. Typical repairs include re-levelling trip hazards, re-sanding weedy joints, swapping cracked pavers and rebuilding dips in driveways. Most repairs reuse your existing pavers, so the fixed area matches the rest; any broken pavers are replaced with the closest match we can find. Small problems grow: once water gets under the pavers, the dip spreads. Fixing a Box Hill South path or driveway early keeps the repair small and the cost down. 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.

Most paving jobs in Box Hill South 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.
