Long Driveways, and They Are a Real Job
A driveway that runs a hundred metres is a different proposition from a suburban one: more concrete, more base, more set-out, and drainage that has to work over the whole run rather than a car length.
Areas We Cover
Concreters in St Leonards
St Leonards is the semi-rural one, a mix of residential, semi-rural and rural blocks with the city ten minutes away. Bigger land changes what people build and it changes how we get to it.
- St Leonards, east of the city, about 10 minutes out
- Free on-site measure
- Same crew, quote to pour
On the Ground
What Concreting in St Leonards Actually Involves
Every suburb in Launceston throws up something slightly different. This is what we plan around here.
Sheds, Workshops and Hardstand
Bigger blocks mean bigger sheds. Machinery floors, workshop slabs and hardstand for a caravan, a boat or a float are common out here and they are thicker slabs than a garden shed pad.
Access Is Usually the Easy Part
Room to get a truck in, room for a machine to work, and somewhere to put the spoil. It is the opposite of the inner suburbs and it usually shows up as a lower price.
The Ground Varies More Out Here
Semi-rural blocks are less likely to have been engineered and more likely to have soft spots, old fill or rock. We strip and look before we commit to a base.

Common Questions
St Leonards Questions We Get Asked
Do you travel out to St Leonards?
Yes, regularly, and there is no travel loading for it. It is ten minutes from the city and it is a normal part of our run.
How much does a long rural driveway cost?
There is no honest per-metre rate, because the base and the drainage over a long run are where the money goes rather than the surface. We measure it on site and price the whole thing in writing.
Can you pour a machinery shed floor?
Yes. That is a thicker slab with heavier steel than a garden shed pad, and the first question is what is going on it, a tractor, a hoist and a caravan are three different specifications.
