Select Civil Group is based in Geelong, so a driveway anywhere in the city is local work for us. The jobs change a lot from one side of Geelong to the other. Homes finishing construction in the southern growth estates need a driveway and crossover before anyone moves in, established streets through Newtown, Belmont and Highton have plenty of older homes due for a new concrete entry, and businesses need aprons and turnaround space that can take more than a family car.
Whatever the size, what decides how long a driveway lasts is the part nobody sees once it is finished. Reactive clay sits under plenty of Geelong and it moves as it wets and dries, so the preparation matters. We excavate to depth, lay and compact the base material, set the falls so water runs away from the house and off the slab, and place the steel before any concrete arrives. That groundwork is what gives a driveway its best chance of staying flat, dry and free of cracks for years.
Andrew runs each job himself and is on site through it, from measuring up to the final finish. Questions about levels, colour or timing go straight to the person pouring your driveway. If the block also needs a site cut or a retaining wall first, the same crew handles those.
