★★★★★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 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.

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.
Ormond has interwar bungalows, post-war homes and new townhouses around the station and North Road. Many bungalows still have their original brick paths.
Glen Eira has a mix of sandy and clay ground, so we check the base conditions on every site and design the base to suit.
Interwar bungalows suit red or recycled brick in herringbone or basketweave, with a soldier border. Where original brick paths have sunk, we relay them on a new base.
Removal of the old surface, excavation, compacted base with falls to a pit, laying, cutting and joint filling. Most courtyards take two to four working days.
For new townhouses we pave to the approved plans and coordinate with the builder.
Ormond is in the City of Glen Eira. 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 15m² brick courtyard about $2,250–$3,750.
Near the station and North Road, townhouses are common; in the quieter streets, bungalows with front gardens. Antonio measures up and gives a written fixed price.
Ormond (3204) is in the City of Glen Eira. The jobs we quote most here are driveways, courtyards, patios and brick 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.
Ormond has Californian bungalows and interwar homes, plus newer townhouses near North Road. Bluestone paths suit the older houses, and travertine suits compact courtyards. In Ormond the most popular uses are front entries and steps, side paths, alfresco areas and pool surrounds — often with a bluestone border framing a lighter travertine field. 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. 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. If you'd rather skip sealing, porcelain gives a similar look with almost no maintenance. 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.
Ormond's subdivided blocks are adding hard surface. Permeable paving helps keep water on site on these busier properties. 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. Before a new driveway goes in, check two things with the City of Glen Eira: 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. 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.
Many Ormond bungalows have original paths that have sunk beside the house near downpipes. We fix the water issue first, then re-lay. Common jobs are sunken sections near downpipes, driveway dips where cars turn, root-lifted paths, trip hazards at steps and loose, weedy joints. 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 Ormond 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 Bentleigh and Carnegie.
Most paving jobs in Ormond 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.
