Excavation and site prep on the Central Coast
Driveway removal, cut and fill, levelling and base preparation, handled by the crew that pours the concrete.
One crew, start to finish
We do our own excavation, so there's no waiting on a second contractor and no argument about who set the levels. The crew preparing the site is the crew pouring the concrete.
That means depths, falls and compaction are set with the finished surface already in mind. It's the part of the job you never see, and the part that decides how long the concrete lasts.
What clients say about Jye and the team
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.
Jye took on the huge task of transforming our property from a muddy mess into something truly beautiful.
He concreted the driveway and around the house plus sealing, built retaining walls with stairs and a path to the pool, tiled the pool area, and laid turf in both the front and back yards. Jye was meticulous with every detail, kept us informed, and offered expert advice.
If you’re looking for a professional, hardworking landscaper, look no further than Desired Building Solutions. Rain or shine, Jye and his team showed up every day and delivered top-quality work.
We appreciated Jye and his team’s professionalism and dedication - we are super happy with the results. It’s even better than we ever imagined!
Jye and his team at DBS did my entire backyard including a large sandstone retaining wall with over 100 sandstone blocks. He was extremely flexible as our timeline changed multiple times and worked around the pool being out in the ground. We made small changes here and there and everything went smoothly. Would recommend DBS for anyone looking for an entire landscape design.
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

Do you only dig for your own concrete jobs?
Site prep is done as part of our concreting and landscaping jobs, so the levels suit the finished surface. Ask Jye about anything else.
What happens to the old concrete?
It's broken out and removed as part of the job before the new base goes in.
