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.
Parkdale sits along the bay between Mentone and Mordialloc, with post-war and beach-style homes, 1970s brick houses and contemporary rebuilds. Outdoor living is a big part of life here, so alfresco areas and front entries get a lot of attention.
Parkdale's sandy soil drains well but needs containment, and salt air near the beach shapes material choice. We build a compacted base with firm edges and recommend stone and porcelain that handle coastal conditions.
Driveways, alfresco and patio areas, courtyards, front paths and pool surrounds.
Pale travertine and porcelain suit beach-style homes; sawn bluestone gives a crisp contemporary edge; exposed aggregate suits driveways. Sealing natural stone near the coast helps it resist salt and staining.
Parkdale 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 30m² travertine alfresco is about $5,400–$8,400 and a 40m² paved driveway about $5,600–$8,800.
For pools we lay non-slip stone, set coping to the correct overhang and fall, and keep the pool barrier compliant throughout.
Near Beach Road and the foreshore, homes enjoy coastal outlooks and larger outdoor areas; toward Lower Dandenong Road, blocks are more suburban. Antonio quotes and oversees every job himself.
Parkdale (3195) is in the City of Kingston. The jobs we quote most here are coastal driveways, alfresco areas, courtyards and pool surrounds. 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.
Parkdale has post-war homes, beach houses and new townhouses close to the bay. Bluestone and dense travertine handle salt air well and suit outdoor living spaces. For Parkdale 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. 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. 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.
Parkdale's sandy soil drains freely, making permeable driveways an easy win for keeping runoff on site. 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 Kingston: 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. 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.
Coastal paving in Parkdale can shift when edges aren't restrained. We rebuild the base, add edges and re-lay the pavers. Common jobs are sunken sections near downpipes, driveway dips where cars turn, root-lifted paths, trip hazards at steps and loose, weedy joints. 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 Parkdale 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 Mentone and Mordialloc.
Most paving jobs in Parkdale 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.
