New and replacement driveways built to handle Dunedin's hills, frosts and wet winters, prepared properly, reinforced and finished the way you want.
Most driveway problems, like cracking, sinking and puddling, start underneath the concrete. That's why every DD Concrete driveway starts with a proper dig-out, compacted basecourse and formwork set to the right falls, so water runs away from your house and garage rather than towards them.
We then lay steel mesh, pour a quality mix from trusted local suppliers and finish it in plain broom, coloured or exposed aggregate. Whether it's a short single-car pad in South Dunedin or a long, steep driveway up a Roslyn hillside, we plan the job around your section, access and budget.
Indicative Dunedin prices per square metre, including standard preparation, reinforcing and finishing. Every site is different, so we confirm a fixed price after a free site visit.

We measure up, check access and drainage, and talk through finishes.
A clear price with everything included, and no hidden extras.
Dig-out, base, formwork and reinforcing, then the pour and finish.
Curing advice, control joints, sealing if chosen, and a tidy site.
As a guide, plain broom-finish driveways run from about $109 to $181 per m², coloured concrete from $128 to $213 per m², and exposed aggregate from $154 to $256 per m². Site preparation, access and removal of an old surface all affect the final price, so we give you a fixed quote after a free site visit.
You can usually walk on it after 24 to 48 hours and drive a car on it after about 7 days. Heavier vehicles should wait closer to 28 days, when the concrete reaches its design strength.
Yes. We break out and remove the old concrete or asphalt, fix the base underneath, then pour your new driveway. Removal is included in your quote, so there are no surprises.
A driveway on your own property usually doesn't need consent, but changing or adding a vehicle crossing onto the street does need DCC approval. We can handle the DCC vehicle crossing for you as part of the same job.
