DRIVEWAY EXCAVATION & PREP

Excavation, shaping and sub-base preparation for residential and rural driveways across the Yarra Valley and metropolitan Melbourne.

// What's Involved

FROM DIRT TO DRIVEWAY

A good driveway starts below the surface. Entire Excavations handles the excavation, shaping and sub-base preparation that everything else gets built on — whether that's a short residential driveway or a longer rural access track.

Work is graded with proper drainage falls from the start, so water moves away from the surface instead of pooling or undermining it later.

SHORT RUNS TO LONG ACCESS TRACKS

From a short residential driveway to a longer rural access track, the approach is the same: get the excavation, base and drainage right first. Where a finished surface like pavers or concrete is going down, Chris preps the base to suit and coordinates with your paver or concretor.

For gravel and aggregate driveways, the job is finished on site without needing to bring in another trade.

// What Affects The Job

EVERY DRIVEWAY IS DIFFERENT

Length & Gradient

Longer runs and steeper gradients change the machinery, time and drainage approach needed.

Ground Conditions

Clay, rock or sandy ground all affect base preparation and compaction.

Finish Type

Gravel and aggregate driveways are finished on site; paved or concrete driveways need base prep coordinated with your paving or concreting contractor.
