★★★★★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 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 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.
Dingley Village is a quiet, family-oriented suburb surrounded by golf courses and open space, with most homes built from the 1970s to the 1990s on good-sized blocks. Double garages, backyards with room for a pool and established gardens are typical.
Soils here range from sandy to clay depending on the street. We check on the site visit and build a compacted crushed-rock base with firm edges and falls that move water away from the house.
Driveway replacements, patios and alfresco areas, pool surround renovations, side paths and paver relaying on older paving that has dipped over the years.
Many Dingley Village pools date from the 1980s and 90s. We replace tired concrete surrounds with non-slip travertine, porcelain or bluestone and new coping, keeping the pool barrier compliant throughout.
Dingley Village is in the City of Kingston. 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 50m² double driveway in pavers is about $7,000–$11,000, a 25m² patio about $3,750–$7,000, and pool paving $200–$320/m².
Charcoal and brindle pavers suit the brick homes of the area; travertine and porcelain suit alfresco and pool areas; exposed aggregate suits wide double driveways.
Near the village shops and Centre Dandenong Road, homes are close together; toward the golf courses and green wedge, blocks are larger and quieter. Antonio quotes, plans and oversees every job personally.
Dingley Village (3172) is in the City of Kingston. The jobs we quote most here are driveways, patios, pool surrounds and paver relaying. The ground is mostly a mix of sandy and clay ground, so we check the base on every site. Every quote is free, written and fixed after Antonio has measured up on site.
Dingley Village has mainly 1980s and 90s family homes on wide, quiet streets near the golf courses. Bluestone gives front entries a modern refresh, and travertine suits pool areas and backyards. For Dingley Village homes we often combine the two: bluestone steps, edges and pool coping with a travertine terrace, which keeps the look calm and consistent. Bluestone is a dense Victorian basalt that wears slowly and looks better with age. Travertine is a softer-coloured natural stone that stays cooler underfoot in summer. On clay soil the base matters as much as the stone, so we dig deep enough and compact crushed rock in layers before any stone goes down. If you'd rather skip sealing, porcelain gives a similar look with almost no maintenance. The price is fixed and written 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.
Dingley Village's mix of sandy and clay ground affects how water drains. A permeable driveway with the right base lets rain soak in rather than pooling. A permeable driveway in Dingley Village uses pavers with wider joints filled with fine gravel, laid over an open-graded base, so rain passes through the surface instead of running off. Driveway stormwater has to reach the legal point of discharge for your block, which the City of Kingston 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. We check the soil on the site visit and set the depth of the open-graded base to suit it, with an overflow 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.
Driveways from the 80s and 90s in Dingley Village often have dips and weedy joints. We rebuild the low sections, re-sand the joints and re-lay the pavers. Typical repairs include re-levelling trip hazards, re-sanding weedy joints, swapping cracked pavers and rebuilding dips in driveways. We find the cause first — a weak base, water from a downpipe, roots or missing edges — then lift the affected pavers, rebuild the base and put the same pavers back. If you notice a dip, a rocking paver or water sitting on the paving after rain, get it looked at early — a small repair in Dingley Village costs far less than a large one once the base has washed out. 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.

Porcelain paving is growing fast in Dingley Village: large-format pavers that don't need sealing, don't stain easily and come in stone and bluestone looks. They suit alfresco areas, courtyards and pool surrounds. Porcelain is laid on a full mortar bed with precise joints and falls, because thin pavers show every high spot. Soil in Dingley Village varies from sandy to clay within a few streets, so we check it on the site visit and set the base depth to suit. Porcelain paving is $180–$280/m² including GST. See porcelain paving.
Most paving jobs in Dingley Village 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.
