Services
Permeable Paving
Our permeable paving solutions use Pebble Pave resin-bound aggregates installed on reinforced permeable concrete bases. This system allows rapid water drainage, reducing stormwater runoff while maintaining durability for residential driveways and commercial spaces. The UV-resistant resin ensures longevity in Australian conditions, with customizable colors and patterns for aesthetic appeal.
Driveway Resurfacing
We resurface existing driveways with permeable paving, eliminating demolition costs. Our method bonds resin-aggregate surfaces to old concrete, creating non-slip, puddle-free driveways suitable for heavy traffic. The process includes edge detailing and color-matching options for seamless integration with property aesthetics.
Pool Surrounds
Anti-slip permeable pool surrounds prevent water accumulation while enhancing safety. We install textured surfaces that drain water instantly, reducing slip hazards. Custom designs incorporate smooth aggregates for comfort underfoot, with options to match existing landscaping or create cohesive outdoor spaces.
Landscaping
Our landscaping services integrate permeable paving with softscapes, retaining walls, and irrigation systems. We handle projects from small gardens to large commercial developments, ensuring functional spaces that comply with water-sensitive urban design principles while maintaining visual appeal.
Permeable Concrete
We construct reinforced permeable concrete bases that support heavy loads while maintaining 100% permeability. This foundation ensures structural integrity for driveways, car parks, and commercial spaces, meeting council regulations for stormwater management and load-bearing requirements.
