Concrete Driveways That Last
A driveway is one of the most important hardscape features of any property. It needs to be tough enough to handle constant use, practical for all vehicles, and visually appealing to complement your home or business. At Porirua Hardscapes, we build driveways that are designed to last. We use high-quality concrete mixes, proven installation techniques, and finishes that resist cracking, chipping, and weather damage. Whether you want a plain concrete finish, exposed aggregate, or coloured concrete, we tailor the design to match your property’s style and needs.

FAQ – Concrete Structures & Driveways
How long will my new concrete driveway last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a concrete driveway can last 30+ years. At Porirua Hardscapes, we use strong mixes and proven techniques to maximise durability.
Can I choose different finishes for my driveway?
Yes. We offer a range of finishes, including plain concrete, exposed aggregate, broom finishes, and coloured concrete. We’ll recommend the best option based on your property style and needs.
How long before I can use my new driveway?
Typically, you can walk on your driveway within 24–48 hours, but we recommend waiting at least 7 days before parking vehicles on it. Full curing takes around 28 days for maximum strength.
Do you take care of excavation and site prep?
Absolutely. Our team manages the entire process—including excavation, drainage considerations, and formwork—so your driveway or slab has a solid, stable foundation.
Will my concrete crack over time?
All concrete has the potential to develop minor hairline cracks, but with reinforcement, proper curing, and control joints, we minimise cracking and ensure your driveway remains structurally sound.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes—we provide obligation-free quotes across Porirua, Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and surrounding areas.
