Driveway Installation FAQs
How long does a new driveway take to install?
A standard residential driveway typically takes 2-5 days depending on size and material.
Concrete driveways need additional curing time (usually 7 days) before vehicles can drive
on them. Paved driveways can often be used sooner.
What driveway material is most durable?
Concrete driveways are extremely durable and can last 25-30 years with proper installation
and maintenance. Exposed aggregate adds visual interest while maintaining durability. Pavers
are also long-lasting and individual units can be replaced if damaged.
Do I need council approval for a new driveway?
If your driveway connects to a public road, you may need a crossover permit from your local
council. Replacing an existing driveway in the same location usually doesn't require approval,
but check with your contractor about local requirements.
Should I seal my new driveway?
Sealing a concrete or exposed aggregate driveway helps protect against stains, weathering
and wear. Most contractors recommend sealing after the concrete has fully cured and then
resealing every few years to maintain protection.
