Paving in Penrith

Concrete pavers in 600x300 mm or 400x400 mm formats are the most popular choice for driveways and entertaining areas across the Penrith area. Exposed aggregate concrete is also popular for driveways at a slightly higher price point. For alfresco areas, sandstone and travertine are favoured for the natural warm tones that complement Penrith's outdoor lifestyle.

Yes. The Penrith area has highly variable soils — sandy alluvial near the Nepean River, clay soils from Wianamatta shales in South Penrith and Kingswood, and red clay with shallow rock near Glenmore Park. All require a properly compacted road base before paving. Sandy soils need a deeper base to prevent settlement, while clay soils need edge restraint to handle lateral movement.

Standard driveway paving within the property boundary is exempt development. A new driveway crossing from the property to the street requires a Section 138 permit from Penrith City Council and, in some cases, Roads and Maritime Services approval for properties on classified roads. We manage the permit process for all Penrith driveway paving projects.

A standard alfresco area in Penrith of approximately 30 sqm using concrete pavers on a compacted base is quoted after a free site measure installed.

Yes. Pool surrounds are one of our most requested paving jobs in Penrith. We use slip-resistant natural stone, travertine or texture-faced pavers around pool decks to comply with pool safety requirements. All pool surround paving is designed to drain away from the pool and towards stormwater to prevent ponding that can harbour mosquitoes and algae.
