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.
Hampton has a mix of Edwardian and interwar homes, beach-style houses and large modern rebuilds, from Hampton Street to the beach. Owners tend to want natural stone and quality finishes that suit the bayside setting.
Hampton's sandy soils drain well but need a properly contained base, and salt air near the beach means material choice matters. Bluestone, travertine and good-quality porcelain all handle the conditions well when they're laid on a compacted base with firm edges.
One of our Hampton clients, Karlo Juric, had bluestone paving laid and wrote that 'the levels, drainage and finishing details are flawless'. That's the standard we work to: precise levels, water going where it should, and clean finishing details.
Hampton is in the City of Bayside. Vehicle crossing works need a council permit, some streets have heritage overlays, and pool barriers must remain compliant during pool paving.
Antonio quotes and oversees every job personally with the same trusted crew, with a written fixed price.
At our rates (inc GST): a 30m² bluestone terrace is about $5,700–$9,000; a 40m² travertine pool surround about $8,000–$12,800 plus coping; a 40m² paved driveway about $5,600–$8,800.
Bluestone, travertine and outdoor-rated porcelain all handle bayside conditions well. Pale travertine and porcelain suit beach-style homes; sawn bluestone gives a crisp, contemporary edge.
Even on sandy soil, water has to go somewhere. We set precise levels and falls, add grated drains at thresholds and connect to the legal point of discharge — the same attention to detail our Hampton client mentioned in his review.
Near the beach, sealing natural stone helps it resist salt and staining. We'll explain the care each material needs and how often it should be resealed.
Many Hampton homes have pools. We carry stone from the house to the pool, set coping correctly and keep the barrier compliant during the job.
Antonio measures up himself and gives a written fixed price with the base, material, drainage and clean-up listed.

Antonio looks at levels and drainage, soil and access, pool barriers, and how the paving will meet the house and garden. That's how we give a written fixed price.
Hampton homes range from Edwardian to beach-modern. We match stone colour, format and pattern to the house, so the paving looks deliberate rather than generic.
Near Hampton Street and the station, homes are closer together, many with Edwardian character. Toward the beach and Hampton East, blocks and homes are larger, with pools, alfresco areas and double driveways that suit bluestone, travertine and porcelain. Across the suburb, owners expect crisp finishing and materials that age well in the bayside climate.
Hampton (3188) is in the City of Bayside. The jobs we quote most here are bluestone terraces, pool surrounds and paved driveways. The ground is mostly sandy bayside soil, so containment, compaction and firm edges matter most. Every quote is free, written and fixed after Antonio has measured up on site, and we also work in nearby Brighton, Black Rock and Carnegie.
Hampton has period homes, beach-style houses and new builds close to the bay and Hampton Street. Bluestone and dense travertine both handle salt air and suit outdoor living near the beach. Typical Hampton 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. Near the bay we choose dense stone and seal it so salt and sand don't mark the surface, and we set every piece on a firm, well-compacted base. 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.
Hampton's sandy soil drains freely, which suits permeable driveways well and keeps rain on site instead of running to the street. 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. Before a new driveway goes in, check two things with the City of Bayside: the permit for any change to the vehicle crossing, and the legal point of discharge where your stormwater has to go. 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 sandy ground the open-graded base drains quickly, so the main job is holding the edges firmly. 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. Read more about permeable paving in Melbourne.
Coastal paving in Hampton can loosen when sand washes out from under it or edges spread. We restrain the edges, 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. 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. 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 Hampton 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. Text photos to 0406 170 544 for a quick price range, or see our paver repairs page. We also fix paving in Brighton and Sandringham.
Exposed aggregate is a popular choice for Hampton driveways and paths: the washed stone surface hides tyre marks, gives good grip and suits both older and new homes. Hampton sits on sandy ground, which drains well but moves if it isn't contained, so firm edges and a well-compacted base matter most. We pour on a compacted crushed-rock base with reinforcing mesh, cut control joints so cracking happens where it's meant to, and seal the finish. Exposed aggregate costs $145–$210/m² and plain or coloured concrete driveways $90–$210/m² including GST. If you'd rather have a driveway that can be lifted and repaired later, pavers from $140/m² are worth comparing — we'll quote both. See exposed aggregate driveways.
Most paving jobs in Hampton 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.
