Older blocks and busy street frontages — wide crossovers, falls re-graded to the street, and original slabs at end of life replaced properly for Melbourne clay.
Springvale's blocks are older and the street frontages are busy. The original driveways and crossovers here were poured decades ago, and a lot of them are at the end of their life — cracked, sunken, or holding water where the falls have moved over the years. The work we do most in Springvale is full driveway replacements and crossover rebuilds, with the falls re-graded toward the street so the water goes where it's supposed to instead of pooling against the house.
The busy frontages mean wide crossovers and a lot of pedestrian traffic during the pour. We plan the pour day around the street — keeping a path clear, managing the concrete delivery on a road where the truck can't sit long, and finishing the crossover to City of Greater Dandenong spec so the reinstatement passes the council inspection. We lodge the vehicle crossing permit and handle the inspection; you sign one form.
Paths and exposed aggregate front yards are the other common Springvale job. The older blocks often have a path that's cracked or lifted, and a new exposed aggregate path and front yard finishes the renovation. We re-grade the falls with every replacement — if the old driveway was holding water, the new one won't, because we fix the cause before we pour.

Yes, and we do it on most Springvale replacements. The falls on an old driveway often move over the decades as the clay shifts, leaving water pooling against the house or in the middle of the slab. We re-grade the falls toward the street on every replacement — it's part of the excavation and base work, not an extra. A driveway that sheds water properly lasts decades longer than one that holds it.
