Commercial Driveways
Concrete for trucks, forklifts and steady traffic.
A commercial driveway works harder than a house driveway and usually can’t just be closed for a week. We plan the job around the vehicles that use it and how your business keeps running.
What’s involved
Understand the traffic
What uses it, how heavy, and how often? That drives the design, so it’s where we start.
Plan the staging
Where we can, we break the work into stages so that access stays open. We’ll talk through what’s realistic for your site.
Prepare the base
Old surfaces come out and the base is prepared to suit the loads in the design.
Steel, pour and joints
Reinforcement goes in to the design, then we pour and finish, with joints set out to suit the traffic.
Back into service
We’ll tell you when each section is ready for vehicles. Heavy traffic generally waits longer than cars.
What affects your job
No two sites are the same. These are what we look at when we quote.
- Site access
- We need to get trucks in while yours keep moving. Early conversations about access and traffic management save trouble later.
- Soil
- Heavy, repeated loads will find any weakness in the ground below, so the base needs proper attention.
- Slope
- Water has to go somewhere. Falls and drainage need planning around the building, the road and the neighbours.
- Size
- Large areas are broken into sections, which affects joint layout and how long the job takes.
- Finish
- Grip matters where trucks turn and where forklifts and people cross paths. Tell us how each area gets used.

Questions about commercial driveways
Can you work around our business hours?
Tell us your operating hours and we’ll talk through what’s possible when we quote. Staging the work is often an option.
Do I need engineering for a commercial driveway?
Often, especially for heavy vehicles. Your builder, engineer or certifier can confirm. If it’s already designed, send the drawings through.
Can you do the crossover at the road as well?
Tell us what’s needed. Crossovers usually have council requirements, so include any conditions you’ve received with your enquiry.
