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.
Wantirna South, around Westfield Knox and Stud Road, is mostly 1970s to 1990s brick family homes, with pockets of newer houses and townhouses. Many homes have double driveways and backyards big enough for an alfresco area or pool.
The clay soil here moves with the weather, so every job gets a properly excavated and compacted base, edge restraints and planned falls. Where a new alfresco meets the house, we make sure water drains away from the slab and doors.
Double driveways in pavers or exposed aggregate, alfresco and patio paving in travertine or porcelain, pool surrounds with new coping, and side paths.
Wantirna South is in the City of Knox. Vehicle crossing works need a council permit, and pool barriers must remain compliant during the work.
Antonio quotes and oversees every job himself with the same trusted crew, and gives a written fixed price.
At our rates (inc GST): a 50m² double driveway in pavers is about $7,000–$11,000; in exposed aggregate about $7,250–$10,500. A 25m² porcelain alfresco is about $4,500–$7,000.
For double driveways, charcoal pavers with a contrasting border or exposed aggregate give a clean, modern look and hide tyre marks. For alfresco areas, porcelain and travertine are the most popular: porcelain for low maintenance, travertine for a natural, cooler surface.
A new alfresco often sits right against the house and under a roof. Water still gets in from the sides and from downpipes, so we set a fall away from the house and add a grated drain at door thresholds where needed.
Many Wantirna South homes have pools built in the 80s and 90s with tired concrete surrounds. We replace them with non-slip stone and new coping, keeping the pool barrier compliant during the job.
We often design the driveway, side paths, alfresco and pool area together so materials and levels match. You can then stage the work if you prefer.
Wantirna South is within our regular service area, and site visits are free.
Note which areas you'd like done — driveway, paths, alfresco, pool — and how they're used. If there's a pool, mention roughly when it was built. Photos sent to 0406 170 544 help Antonio plan the visit and bring samples.
Antonio looks at the existing surface and base, falls and drainage, access for machines, levels at doors and the garage, and the pool shell and barrier where relevant. That's how we give a fixed price in writing.
If you're only replacing part of your paving now, we'll suggest materials that can be matched later, so future stages don't look like patches.
We work Monday to Saturday. For families who can't easily be home during the week, Saturday site visits are often the simplest option.
Around Westfield Knox and the Stud Road corridor, homes are mostly family houses with double garages. Toward the Dandenong Valley Highway, some blocks slope toward the creek and need more careful drainage.
Wantirna South (3152) is in the City of Knox. The jobs we quote most here are double driveways, alfresco areas and pool surrounds. 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, Knoxfield and Wheelers Hill.
Wantirna South has mainly 1980s and 90s family homes near Westfield Knox and the parklands, many now due for an outdoor update. Bluestone freshens up tired front entries, and travertine suits backyard areas and pools. Typical Wantirna South jobs include a bluestone front path and step, a travertine alfresco off the kitchen, or both stones together around a pool. We lay bluestone in sawn, honed or natural-split finishes, and travertine as tumbled or honed pavers in French pattern, straight lay or herringbone. We bring real samples to the site visit, so you can see the colour against your bricks and render before you decide. If you'd rather skip sealing, porcelain gives a similar look with almost no maintenance. 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.
Wantirna South's clay soil holds water, so a permeable driveway helps rain soak away slowly rather than pooling. 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. 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.
Wantirna South driveways from the 80s and 90s often have dips where cars turn. We rebuild those sections 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. Small problems grow: once water gets under the pavers, the dip spreads. Fixing a Wantirna South path or driveway early keeps the repair small and the cost down. 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 and Knoxfield.
Most paving jobs in Wantirna South 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.
