Driveway Construction

Need a New Driveway, or an old one Refreshed & Repaired?

Services

1800 GO TREES can help you with all things driveway related, including bitumen, concreting, rocks and gravel. We can build a driveway from scratch with all the drainage. We can also repair driveways, drains and culverts. 

If you have a soft spot or a pothole in your driveway following heavy rain, we will fix it. For the best construction and repairs, we use Geo Mesh, which stops settled earth rising through into the gravel layer, contaminating the gravel, and turning it to mud.

When building your driveway, 1800 GO TREES first ensures your ground conditions are good with adequate drainage prior to making the driveway. We do this with culverts or storm water piping with pits running along the drive. After putting in all our piping, and depending how deep you want your rock layer to be (we recommend at least 150-mm), we put the Geo Mesh down and begin the compacting process.

When rolling your gravel, we ensure that it is sufficiently wet, so it binds properly. We then pay attention to the fine details, such as raking out any high spots. Finally, we go over it with the roller and make sure it’s well compacted. While doing all this, we are careful to ensure the surface pitch of your driveway has sufficient gradual fall to ensure adequate water run off.

For farm tracks and driveways that need a refresh, we use a Harley Rake to remove excess vegetation and level out gravel. We then go over again with a roller to re-compact your driveway. This can be a cost effective solution for refreshing your farm tracks or gravel driveways.

If you choose a bitumen surface for your new drive, we will use laser levels to make sure your fall angle is correct and sufficient to ensure water runs off in the right direction – away from your house and other asset. We also ensure that your foundation is rolled as hard as possible. The stronger the foundation, the stronger the asphalt.

We have excavators ranging from 2-4 tonnes, 5-8 ton compaction rollers, skid-steer track loaders for picking up and spreading ruck with a smudge bar installed to ensure accurate levelling of rock.

For all your driveway and culvert related needs, call 1800 GO TREES to ensure you get a new driveway or repair that will stand the test of time, giving you the great value of a reliable driveway that will hold up good under pressure.
