Concrete driveways across the Central Coast
Exposed aggregate, coloured, plain, cove and broom finishes, with the dig, the base and the steel done by the same crew.
The first thing anyone sees
A driveway carries the car every day and sets the look of the whole house. The base decides how long it lasts, and the finish decides how it looks, so we take care over both.
We dig to the right depth and compact the base. The formwork is set to falls that move water away from the garage, and the steel is sized for vehicle loads. Then we choose the finish, stone mix, colour and joint layout with you, so it suits the house.
What clients say about Jye and the team
Absolutely Outstanding Workmanship!
I recently had my concrete driveway installed and I couldn't be happier with the results.
The workmanship and attention to detail were truly exceptional. Every edge is crisp and perfectly formed, the finish is consistent, and the slope for drainage is spot-on. The end result looks absolutely stunning and has completely transformed the front of our property.
Thank you for such an outstanding job — highly, highly recommended!

We have just had Desired Building Solutions complete a full landscaping package on our new build home. They have laid grass, pebbles & stepping stones along with a concrete driveway. They have done the most amazing job and been fantastic to deal with. Highly recommend Jye and the team at Desired Building Solutions
The boys at DBS did a fantastic job opening up the back patio area. They built a beautiful retaining wall with added drainage. They also laided a slab for the shed and did a pathway down the side of the house with a beautiful hob and finished off with a new driveway. My wife and I are extremely happy with the end result and would highly recommend desired Building Solutions to anyone needing concrete or landscaping done at their home. Jye's communication was fantastic. The boys turned up on time and got the job done quickly and with precision.
What goes into a driveway
- Old driveway out. Old concrete, pavers or gravel removed and taken away, then the ground dug to depth.
- Base and steel. A compacted base and reinforcement sized for cars and the odd heavy delivery.
- Falls and edges. Formwork set so water runs away from the house, with clean edges and controlled joints.
- Your finish. Exposed aggregate, coloured, plain, cove or broom, with decorative borders if you want them.

Concrete driveways questions
Got a different question? Give Jye a call.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Concrete keeps curing for weeks. As a general guide, keep off it on foot for a day or two and keep cars off for about a week, longer for heavy vehicles. Your concreter will tell you what suits your pour.
Can you pull out my old driveway?
Yes. Old driveways and surfaces are removed as part of the job, so the new one starts on solid ground.
Why are there cuts across a driveway?
Concrete shrinks as it cures. Saw-cut joints give it a straight, neat place to crack instead of a random one.
