Crushed Stone Driveways Sutherland

A crushed stone driveway in Sutherland typically is quoted after a free site measure supplied and compacted, depending on the stone type and how much excavation and edging is required. A standard single Sutherland Shire driveway of around 40 square metres usually falls a competitive quoted rate. Adding a bound resin top coat or heavier road base for boat and trailer traffic increases the price.

For Sutherland Shire driveways we most often use 10 to 14mm blue metal or decomposed granite (deco) over a compacted road base. Blue metal locks together well and drains fast, which suits the sandy Shire soils, while deco gives a softer natural sandstone colour that complements bushland streets in areas like Bangor and Menai. We can also supply river pebble or recycled crushed concrete for a budget option.

Most residential crushed stone driveways in Sutherland are completed in one to two days. That covers excavation, laying and compacting the road base, installing edging to hold the stone in place, then spreading and compacting the crushed stone top layer. Larger or steeply sloped Shire blocks that need extra drainage may take a third day.

Yes. Without edging, loose crushed stone migrates onto lawns and gutters, so we install timber, steel or concrete edge restraints on every Sutherland driveway. We also grade the surface and add drainage where needed so water sheds cleanly rather than washing the stone away during heavy Shire downpours. Proper edging and drainage is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that scatters.
