Paving Baulkham Hills

Paving Contractors in Baulkham Hills

Baulkham Hills is hilly, and the driveways show it. Plenty of homes between Windsor Road and Seven Hills Road sit well above or below the street, so the paved driveway has to carry a real grade without scraping bumpers or shedding water into the garage. We survey the levels first, work out the transition grades at the kerb and at the garage slab, and only then decide whether pavers, exposed aggregate or a broom-finished slab is the right answer.

The housing stock is largely brick veneer from the seventies through to the nineties, and a lot of the original concrete is now cracked, stained and lifting at the control joints. Where the old slab is still structurally sound we can overlay it with a bonded topping or spray-applied finish. Where it has broken up over reactive clay we break out, cart the spoil away and rebuild on properly compacted road base. Telling you honestly which option applies is part of the quote.

Water is the other Baulkham Hills issue. Runoff from a long, steep driveway has to go somewhere, and if the fall points at the house you will eventually see water at the garage door or under the slab. We build in a crossfall, add a grated strip drain at the low point where the grade demands it and connect it into the stormwater line. A new or altered vehicle crossing needs approval from The Hills Shire Council before any kerb work begins.
