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.
Sandringham has period homes near the village, mid-century houses and contemporary rebuilds, many close to the beach. Outdoor living areas are a priority, and entries set the tone for the house.
Sandy soil and salt air shape the work: a well-contained base and materials that handle coastal exposure — bluestone, travertine and outdoor-rated porcelain.
Removal of the old surface, excavation, a contained compacted base, falls away from the house, laying, cutting and joint filling or grouting, then sealing natural stone if needed.
Near the village, many homes suit bluestone steps and red brick or tessellated-style entries. We match materials and patterns to the house.
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.
Sandringham is in the City of Bayside, and some streets have heritage overlays. 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 15m² bluestone entry about $2,850–$4,500.
Near the village and station, period homes dominate; toward Black Rock and the beach, contemporary homes with large outdoor areas. Antonio quotes and oversees every job himself.
Sandringham (3191) is in the City of Bayside. The jobs we quote most here are coastal entries, alfresco areas, pool surrounds and 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.
Sandringham has period homes, beach houses and contemporary rebuilds near the bay and the village. Bluestone and dense travertine both handle salt air and suit coastal outdoor living. We lay both stones for entries, porches, courtyards, alfresco areas and pool surrounds in Sandringham, and match borders and steps so the whole outdoor area feels finished. 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.
Sandringham's sandy soil drains freely, so permeable driveways work especially well here. 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. In the City of Bayside, a new or widened vehicle crossing needs a council permit, and stormwater from the driveway must go to the legal point of discharge that council sets for your property. 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 Sandringham loosens when sand washes out or edges spread. We rebuild the base, restrain the edges and re-lay. 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. Landlords and property managers in Sandringham 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. Text photos to 0406 170 544 for a quick price range, or see our paver repairs page. We also fix paving in Hampton and Black Rock.
