Driveways, front hardstands, duplex paving and rear courtyards completed across Auburn, planned around tight frontages and shared boundaries.
Auburn blocks are worked hard. Frontages are narrow, many properties now hold a duplex or a townhouse pair, and parking is at a premium, so the front yard often becomes a paved hardstand for two or three cars. The catch is stormwater. The more of a small block you pave, the more runoff you create, so we plan where that water goes before we lift a shovel, whether that is a permeable section, a garden strip or a grate connected to the existing line.
A good share of our Auburn work is finishing behind builders on dual occupancy sites: the shared driveway, the two paths to the front doors, the bin pads and the small rear courtyards. Those jobs live or die on set-out. Boundary lines are tight, service pits and water meters land in awkward spots, and the paving has to run true past all of them without leaving slivers of cut paver against a fence.
Cumberland Council approves vehicle crossings around Auburn, and there are limits on crossing widths and how many crossings a frontage can have. We build the internal driveway to match the approved crossover, keep the finished level below the damp course of the brickwork, and specify dense concrete pavers or reinforced concrete wherever several households drive across the same strip every day of the week.
Every Auburn job is quoted after a free on-site measure, and you get a fixed written quote before we book the work in. Call 0492 879 796 to arrange yours.
Extra off-street parking paved across a narrow Auburn frontage without turning the whole yard into runoff.
Twin entry paths, bin pads and courtyards set out cleanly around the shared boundary of a dual occupancy.
Heavier base and dense pavers for common driveways that carry several households in and out daily.
Compact rear courtyards levelled off the back door and drained to a pit rather than left to pond.
Open-jointed or grid paving that lets stormwater soak away where the block cannot take more hard surface.
Channel drains and pit connections designed into the paving so water leaves a tight site properly.
The price follows the measured area, the excavation involved and the finish selected, and on Auburn sites access is a genuine factor because material often has to be barrowed past a duplex wall. We break the quote into demolition, base and paving so it is easy to compare. The on-site measure costs nothing and the written quote is fixed.
Councils including Cumberland set landscaped area and site permeability requirements, so paving every square metre of a small Auburn frontage is usually not allowed and is a bad idea anyway. We normally keep a garden strip or use a permeable section so the block still absorbs some rain, and direct the rest to a drain rather than letting it sheet onto the footpath.
It will if it is built for it. For shared Auburn driveways we increase the compacted base depth, use 60mm or 80mm dense interlocking pavers rather than thin ones, and haunch the edges in concrete. Pavers also let a single damaged section be lifted and relaid later, which matters when several owners share the surface.
Yes. Cumberland Council sets maximum crossing widths based on your frontage and whether it serves a single dwelling or a dual occupancy, and a second crossing is not automatically approved. The application goes in before the kerb is touched. We can build the driveway inside your boundary to suit whatever width is approved.
Choose a mid-tone dense paver rather than a pale porous one, seal it if you park vehicles that drip, and hose or sweep it regularly. Oil marks lift best when treated quickly with a degreaser. Every few years a pressure clean and fresh stabilised joint sand brings the whole surface back close to new.
