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 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.
Glen Waverley is a suburb of two halves. The streets around Springvale Road, Waverley Road and the Glen Waverley Secondary College zone are still full of 1960s and 70s brick veneer houses with long concrete driveways and tired crazy paving at the back door. Mixed in with them are the knock-down rebuilds and double-storey townhouses that have gone up over the last fifteen years. The first group usually needs old concrete broken out and replaced with brick or exposed aggregate; the second group usually needs everything around a brand-new house done at once — driveway, side paths, alfresco and bin area — before the family moves in.
Most of Glen Waverley sits on reactive clay. It swells in a wet winter and shrinks in a dry summer, which is exactly why so many older driveways here have cracked across the middle or dropped near the garage. We don't pave over that problem. Every job starts with digging out to the right depth, laying and compacting a crushed-rock base in layers, and setting falls so water runs away from the house instead of soaking into the clay beside the slab. It is the unglamorous part of the job, but it is the part that decides whether your paving still looks right in ten years.
The work we quote most often in Glen Waverley is driveway replacement (brick pavers or exposed aggregate), travertine or porcelain alfresco areas for new builds, and side paths that finally fix a drainage problem along the fence line. Pool surrounds are common on the bigger blocks north of High Street Road, where older concrete coping is often cracked or drummy. Retaining walls come up on the sloping blocks toward Jells Park, usually alongside new paving so the levels work together.
Glen Waverley is in the City of Monash. If your job changes the vehicle crossing (the section between the footpath and the road) you need a council permit before work starts, and we build that into the timeline on your quote. Stormwater from new paving has to go to a legal point of discharge, not onto a neighbour's property, so drainage is planned on the first site visit rather than improvised on the day. If a tree near the work area might be protected, we tell you to check with council before you commit.
We're based in Notting Hill, a few minutes down Blackburn Road, so a site visit in Glen Waverley is easy to fit in — often within a day or two of your call. Antonio measures up himself, explains the options in plain English and sends a written, fixed price. The same crew that he works with on every project then does the job, and he oversees it from excavation to the final clean-up.
For the classic 70s brick veneer house, a clay brick paver in a warm red or brindle, laid herringbone on the driveway and stretcher bond on the paths, ties the whole frontage together. New rebuilds tend to suit exposed aggregate or large-format porcelain in a pale grey that matches the render. Travertine is popular out the back because it stays cooler underfoot around the pool and alfresco. We bring samples to the visit so you can see them against your own walls and roof colour, which is the only reliable way to choose.
Glen Waverley (3150) is in the City of Monash. The jobs we quote most here are driveway replacements, new-build packages, alfresco areas and pool surrounds. 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, and we also work in nearby Mount Waverley, Wheelers Hill and Burwood East.
Glen Waverley mixes 1960s and 70s brick homes with many new double-storey rebuilds. Bluestone gives new entries a crisp modern look, and travertine is a popular choice for the alfresco areas that come with a new build. Typical Glen Waverley jobs include a bluestone front path and step, a travertine alfresco off the kitchen, or both stones together around a pool. 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. Both stones should be sealed with a penetrating sealer to resist stains, then resealed every few years. You get a fixed written quote after we measure up on site. 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.
Glen Waverley's reactive clay doesn't absorb water quickly. A permeable driveway with an open-graded base stores rain and lets it soak away slowly, easing pooling around the house. Permeable pavers have small gaps filled with clean aggregate; water drains through them into a stone base below and soaks away slowly into the ground. Driveway stormwater has to reach the legal point of discharge for your block, which the City of Monash 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.

Older Glen Waverley driveways often crack or sink on the clay after dry summers. Where the pavers are sound, we rebuild the base and re-lay them rather than replacing everything. Common jobs are sunken sections near downpipes, driveway dips where cars turn, root-lifted paths, trip hazards at steps and loose, weedy joints. 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. Landlords and property managers in Glen Waverley 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.

Driveways are one of the most searched paving jobs in Glen Waverley. Most of Glen Waverley is on reactive clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer, so the base depth and compaction make or break the job. We build paver driveways in herringbone so the pavers lock together under turning cars, with a deep crushed-rock base and solid edge restraints, and we set falls so water runs to the street or a strip drain instead of the garage. Paved driveways are $140–$220/m² and brick $150–$250/m² including GST; concrete and exposed aggregate driveways are $90–$210/m². Any change to the vehicle crossing needs a permit from the City of Monash, which we'll flag on the quote. We also build driveways in Mount Waverley and Wheelers Hill. See driveway paving for patterns and photos.
Many Glen Waverley blocks have a change in level somewhere — a sloping backyard, a raised garden bed or a driveway cut into the slope — and a retaining wall is what makes the paving around it work. We build timber sleeper, concrete sleeper, block and stone-faced walls with ag drains and free-draining gravel behind them, because water pressure is what pushes walls over. Most of Glen Waverley is on reactive clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer, so the base depth and compaction make or break the job. In Victoria, retaining walls over 1 metre high, or walls close to a boundary or building, generally need a building permit — we'll tell you if yours does. Every retaining wall is quoted after a free site visit, often together with the paving. See retaining walls.
Yes — sleeper, concrete sleeper and block retaining walls with proper footings and drainage, often built together with new paving. Retaining walls are quoted after a site visit; see our retaining walls page.
Most paving jobs in Glen Waverley 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.
Replacing the driveway on your own land usually doesn't need a permit, but any change to the vehicle crossing between the footpath and the road needs a City of Monash permit. We'll tell you on the site visit whether your job touches the crossing and allow time for it.
Mostly because of reactive clay soil moving between wet and dry seasons, combined with a thin or poorly compacted base. A deeper compacted crushed-rock base, correct falls and control joints (for concrete) or flexible paving like brick pavers reduce the problem a lot.
Yes. For knock-down rebuilds we regularly quote the driveway, side paths, alfresco and bin pad together so levels, drainage and materials match. Doing it as one job is usually cheaper and quicker than piecemeal.
