Pricing for new concrete driveways across Melbourne generally starts around $80–$100 per m² for plain concrete, and $100–$150 per m² for exposed aggregate, depending on site access and preparation.
At PNL CONTRACTORS, we’re upfront with our quotes, and we’ll come to you anywhere in Melbourne’s west or north — from Tarneit to Craigieburn — to give a tailored price that suits your property.
Exposed aggregate driveways are one of the most popular choices in Melbourne because they reveal the stones inside the mix, giving a decorative, slip-resistant finish that’s perfect for driveways and paths.
Plain concrete is a more affordable, smooth finish, usually in natural grey or with added colours (oxides). We install both across western suburbs like Melton and Werribee, so you can pick what suits your style and budget.
If your concrete work stays within your property line, generally you don’t need council approval. But for driveway crossovers (connecting to the street) or large slabs, some councils around Wyndham, Melton or Hume may require permits.
We handle these checks and can guide you through it.
Absolutely. We regularly remove cracked, sunken or stained old concrete across Melbourne and replace it with new driveways, slabs or paths — often with improved drainage to stop the problems returning.
It’s a great way to lift your property’s appearance and value.
Many Melbourne homeowners are switching to synthetic turf because it looks green year-round, doesn’t need watering or mowing, and is perfect for rental properties or busy families.
If you still love the feel of real grass, we also lay premium natural turf and can help you decide what’s best for your lifestyle.
Most simple landscaping jobs in Melbourne — like laying turf, installing garden beds, or building small retaining walls — take 2–5 days, depending on prep work.
We’ll always give you a clear timeline so you know what to expect.
We do both. At PNL CONTRACTORS, we’re not landscape architects, but we create practical, smart layouts that work for Melbourne soils and weather.
We’ll help you plan, then build it from the ground up so it looks great and drains properly.
Yes. Sloping blocks are common around Melton, Fraser Rise and Mickleham, and we build timber, concrete sleeper or block retaining walls to stop erosion and create usable flat areas in your yard.
We handle drainage and backfilling to ensure it stands the test of time.
For properties across Werribee, Hoppers Crossing and surrounding suburbs, pressure washing prices start from around $150–$300 for typical driveways or paths, depending on size and grime.
