24.01.2022 A year after getting their driveway done by 1300 Driveways, one of our awesome Vermont customers would now like their backyard completed (so stay tuned!) During their free onsite quote, I managed to snap some photos of last year's finished product, still looking great of course! This driveway is GWW Bluerock from Mentone Pre Mix, and the drains are ... R&S Grating Galvanised Heelguard. It's the quality touches that make all the difference.

24.01.2022 We finished up the exposed aggregate work for this home in Clyde in the Ramlegh Park Estate just before Christmas. The house surrounds, and driveway with extra parking was done in colour 'Balcombe' from Mentone Pre Mix. We'll be back on January 11th, so send your questions through to info@ 1300driveways.com.au, and we'll get back to you in the new year!

23.01.2022 What a difference the sealer makes to raw exposed aggregate concrete! Always a huge fan of the sealing products from @auseal. How many of you get the phone call from the client before sealing asking with skepticism is this the right colour? @mentonepremix #ashburton #alwaysacidwash

22.01.2022 Like many of you, this particular customer of ours is now working from home and was tired of looking out her window into her Ringwood front yard jungle! This area is now a low maintenance parking area and separate courtyard area. Once the new fence goes up to divide the two, the added value will far outweigh the cost! But more importantly, she now has an office view to be proud of!... Spending a lot more time at home and want to upgrade your space? Send us a message to arrange your FREE on-site quote.

During lockdown we can provide you with a free quote from your house plans so give us a call.

21.01.2022 The team are working with Branch Landscaping on this impressive new Brighton home. We lay the brand new exposed aggregate mix "Starnight" from Mentone Pre Mix and poured new paving with steps and a crossover, following council specifications of course.

21.01.2022 Check out that attention to detail! We used a local supplier, Pakenham Sand & Soil, for this small but essential project at this new home in Garfield. The mix was "The Jersey" and matches this house perfectly! It was a pleasure working with Melbourne Landscape Projects on this one.... We look forward to seeing the final results Melbourne Landscape Projects! #supportlocal #exposedaggregateconcrete #exposedaggregate

20.01.2022 We are back with another one of our signature cantilevered floating steps! The exposed aggregate mix "Batquartz" from Mentone Pre Mix really helped the magic happen for this new home in Doncaster. We lay all the pathways, alfresco and driveway on this home and topped it off with that stunner of a front porch! Do you think the floating porch is better than a Merbau decking for a front entry?

20.01.2022 A simple yet effective exposed aggregate concrete project in Clyde for Rawdon Hill. New homes are our specialty! By working alongside builders, were kept up to date on the latest building codes regarding expansion, weepholes, drainage etc. to ensure that your building warranty is never compromised. Hows that for peace of mind?... #concretingmelbourne #melbourneconcrete #melbourneconcreter

20.01.2022 The 1300 Driveways team just finished laying this large coloured driveway for our good customer Stroud Homes! We love working in with our builders to help complete there customers dream homes. This one was in Mt Eliza on a large battleaxe block. Thanks to Vic Mix Concrete for the perfect service and Able Concrete Pumping for getting this job done. ... Next on the to-do list: Sawcutting Sealing Send us a message if youre building and want to compliment all your hard work with a quality driveway!

19.01.2022 Remember that floating porch we created recently? Well, we have light! Let us know what you think of the final product.

19.01.2022 You cant beat a sunny Melbournian autumn day for laying top quality driveways like this one! We did this driveway for BOT Landscapes in Mt Eliza using the exposed aggregate mix "Sunrise" from Mentone Pre Mix. The Sunrise mix is a fantastic way to add warmth to your home, creating an inviting entrance for visitors and, of course, for when you return home. #melbourneconcretecompany #melbournelandscapes #concretingmelbourne

19.01.2022 Things dont always go to plan, and when they dont, its important to step up and do the right thing! After completing the excavation on this little beauty in Ashburton, we noticed excessive water spilling out from underneath the retaining wall on the neighbours boundary creating a very soft muddy area with pooling in (what would be) the base underneath our new exposed aggregate driveway. Ultimately this is never a good thing as soggy earth under your concrete base will mo...st likely cause ground movement issues and cracking in years to come! So, with the concrete due to arrive within a few hours, we had to quickly put our qualified landscape gardener brains together and got cracking to install an agricultural drain running at the toe of the retaining wall, eliminating all future issues and combatting the problem at hand! If a job is worth doing, then do it right! A big thanks to Mentone Pre Mix, Road Safety Grating (R&S) and Auseal-Curite for always delivering the awesome goods that ultimately make our work as good as it is! #concretedriveways #concreteconstruction #melbourneconcreter

18.01.2022 We are back with another 1300 Driveways signature floating exposed aggregate step! This front porch and driveway in Ashwood were created with an off white mix from Mentone Pre Mix, while the rest of the house was completed with a classic charcoal concrete. It feels great to be back working on homes post lockdown!

18.01.2022 Here is a classic example of the type of jobs we do. For this Clyde property, we did the Exposed Aggregate driveway in our old favourite, Caruana Off White, from Mentone Pre Mix with coloured pathways and back areas from Vic Mix Concrete. While you want your concrete to look great, it is critical to get all the drainage and the levels spot on, ensure that there is a minimum 50mm clearance under the weep holes and that all concrete has expansion foam against the house. Done incorrectly and this can void your builders warranty! So dont just choose your concrete company on price, choose by the quality of their work and their experience!

16.01.2022 This week we returned to the sunny suburb of Glen Iris to quote the neighbour of a past client... and this is why! Four years ago, we completed this exposed aggregate project. Now that its aged and the garden has grown, it looks even better than the day it was laid! Like this look? It was created with the Macquarie Standard Black mix. Check out our range of colours here:... https://1300driveways.com.au/exposed-aggregate-concrete-dr/

14.01.2022 Sometimes just a simple broom finished plain concrete pathway in a new reserve can come up just as sexy as any larger scale driveways that we do! Whats our secret? Its all in the hips! #melbournelandscapedesign #pavingmelbourne #concretingmelbourne

13.01.2022 We think this floating front porch is a winner, what do you think? What a great finishing touch to this stunning Boutique Homes home in Clarinda. We used Montquartz Storm Cloud from Mentone Pre Mix for this one. Watch this space to see what it looks like after the LED lights are installed!

13.01.2022 Here is our finished project at Egan Lee Reserve in Scoresby! The team at Glascott Landscape & Civil were great to work with as usual. Dealing with this wet site wasnt easy, but the result is a tribute to the top work Glascotts do. We were happy to do our part laying the footpaths, concrete edging and the softfall underlay.

12.01.2022 What do you think of this unique renovation in Brighton? The steep angle of the ramp would scrape the bottom of the homeowners cars, so we reshaped the slope with exposed aggregate concrete. To match the driveway, we also relayed the front yard to highlight these magnificent palm trees and turn the space into a low maintenance area. We cant wait to see the yard once its been landscaped! The colour Sunrise from Mentone Pre Mix perfectly compliments the summer feel of this... home. Mentone Pre Mix Able Concrete Pumping

12.01.2022 WHAT MAKES A QUALITY CONCRETE JOB? There are a lot of "concreters" out there but the difference between a job that looks great and lasts the test of time and an average job is based on many factors but here is our top 5 as displayed on this #mteliza project. 1. A Skilled experienced crew that works together daily. Too many "concreters" get workers last minute off Facebook sites. @1300driveways our teams are made up of great loyal concreters that have been part of our team fo...r many years. 2. Base preparation. Levels Must be prepped to exact depths and compacted thoroughly. You can quote thickness of concrete and gauge of steel etc. But if your base isnt prepped to perfection then it counts for very little. 3. Correct Levels and drainage. With this job we installed @rsgrating heel guard strip drain across garage. As well as a 650mm pit to centre of driveway using 150mm pvc to handle big down pours. 4. Structural Integrity including Good Thickness, correct steel work. We did this job 125mm thick with sl72 steel on Bar Chairs. Note the rebar around drains also at the weakest points. And Control joints and expansion joints done correctly. Including all expansion foam against building. 5. Clean and tidy work practices. We taped up this job to eliminate any property damage from pumping concrete. Attention to detail and pride in the finish of the work from the screeding through to the trowelling and right through to the acid washing and two coats of sealer. So if you are going to get a driveway in the future and someone is cheaper by $10 a sqm ask yourself what you are really paying for! @ Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia

12.01.2022 After the feedback we got on this post last week, we thought youd appreciate a walkthrough of this Warrandyte propertys 300sqm of freshly laid seamless exposed aggregate! #Warrandyte #concretedriveway #melbourneconcretecompany

11.01.2022 This homeowner in Marriott Waters, Lyndhurst, had his driveway done by us 10 years ago, so we were wrapped to help him with his new home in the same estate! Can't beat repeat customers, and when they use exposed aggregate around the house, it looks so much better. Thanks Mentone Pre Mix for this 'Macquarie' mix. Send us a message to arrange your free quote!

10.01.2022 The driveway of this dual occupancy property was thoughtfully designed in a way that each home-owner could back around the curve to drive forwards onto Warrigal Road safely. Complete with exposed aggregate steps, this job was made with the mix "Caruana" from Mentone Pre Mix. It really stands out on a busy road - and we're sure even more so after it's been landscaped!

What do you think?

09.01.2022 As winter hits and the sites get muddy, its essential to have the right equipment to do a quality job! Our tight access Posi Track Skid Steer dug this site out so we could lay concrete around the whole perimeter using Charcoal colour surrounds and Yarrabee (2% Bluestone) exposed aggregate mix from Mentone Pre Mix. With all the right drainage, there will be no more mud for this family in their new Carlisle Homes home.... #residentialhomes #exposedaggregatedriveways #concretedrivewaysmelbourne

06.01.2022 Great work to the 1300 team to lay 360sqm of exposed aggregate concrete on this stunning one-acre property before Christmas!

05.01.2022 Yet again another wrap up for the unbelievably amazing Flux Construction.

This project was imperative from start to finish that we nailed what the designer and builder had envisaged, and boy did our boys deliver A big thanks to Mentone Pre Mix for providing the creamy mud we needed for the stripping and facing of all the intricate curved kerb work!
