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.
Knoxfield is a mix of 1970s–90s family homes and newer estates, close to Stud Road, Ferntree Gully Road and the Knox industrial area. Blocks are typically medium to large, with double driveways and backyards that owners want to turn into outdoor living spaces.
Clay soils are common here too, so we build a proper compacted base and set falls to drains on every job. On the gentler slopes, a low retaining wall or step often makes a patio or lawn area much more usable.
Driveway replacements, patios and alfresco areas, side paths, retaining walls and paver repairs. We also do concrete slabs for sheds and caravans.
Knoxfield is in the City of Knox. Vehicle crossing works need a council permit, and some retaining walls need a building permit depending on height.
Antonio quotes every job himself and oversees it with the same trusted crew, with a written fixed price up front.
At our rates (inc GST): a 50m² paved driveway is about $7,000–$11,000; a 20m² patio about $3,000–$5,600; a 30m² concrete slab for a shed or caravan about $2,700–$4,350.
Charcoal and brindle pavers, exposed aggregate and bluestone are popular for driveways; travertine and porcelain for patios. For caravan and trailer pads, reinforced concrete is usually the best option.
Plenty of Knoxfield families have a caravan, boat or trailer. We build hardstands with a thicker base or reinforced concrete so they don't sink under the weight, and set falls so water runs away from the vehicle.
Where a backyard slopes, a low retaining wall and steps create flat, usable spaces. We plan walls, drainage and paving together so the finished levels work.
If an older driveway has dipped where cars turn or where a downpipe discharges, we can often repair that section rather than replacing everything. We'll give you both options on the site visit.
Antonio visits, measures and explains the options himself, and every quote is written and fixed so there are no surprises.
We work Monday to Saturday, 7am–5pm. Most Knoxfield driveways and patios take between three and six working days, weather permitting.
Tell us what will park on the driveway — cars, a trailer, a caravan — and which parts of the yard you'd like paved. Photos of the existing surface and any spots where water sits after rain help Antonio plan the visit. Text them to 0406 170 544.
Antonio looks at the existing surface and base, soil and falls, access for machines and trucks, levels at doors and the garage, and where water will go. That's how we give a written fixed price.
For hardstands and driveways carrying heavier vehicles, we increase the base depth and, for concrete, use reinforcement and proper control joints. It costs a little more up front but saves a rebuild later.
Near Stud Road and the Knox industrial area, homes are a mix of older family houses and newer estate homes; toward Ferntree Gully Road and Rowville, larger blocks with caravans and trailers are common.
Knoxfield (3180) is in the City of Knox. The jobs we quote most here are driveways, caravan and trailer hardstands, patios and retaining walls. 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 Wantirna South, Wheelers Hill and Wantirna.
Knoxfield has 1980s and 90s family homes on quiet streets near the Dandenong Creek. Bluestone updates front entries, and travertine suits backyard entertaining areas. For Knoxfield 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. 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.
Knoxfield's clay soil holds water, so permeable driveways with an open-graded base help rain soak away gradually rather than pooling. 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. 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 in Knoxfield from the 80s and 90s often have dips and weedy joints. We rebuild the low spots, 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. 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. 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 Knoxfield 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 Wantirna South and Rowville.
Exposed aggregate is a popular choice for Knoxfield driveways and paths: the washed stone surface hides tyre marks, gives good grip and suits both older and new homes. Most of Knoxfield is on reactive clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer, so the base depth and compaction make or break the job. 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 Knoxfield 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.
