LOCAL CONTEXT
Asphalt work in Prospect
Prospect is one of the easier suburbs to work in. Newer subdivisions, wider streets, larger block sizes and good site access mean most driveways here are textbook standard residential pours.
Many Prospect driveways were laid in the 1990s and 2000s on minimum-spec base. By 2026 those are starting to fail with edge crumbling and centre-rutting. The most common job we do in Prospect now is a full strip-and-relay (not a top-coat) to fix base issues that should have been addressed originally.
Prospect has good drainage falls naturally because the suburb sits on a gentle slope from north to south. That makes setting driveway falls toward the road simple. We rarely need to fight a flat lot here.
PROSPECT FAQ
Questions from Prospect customers
Why is my 20-year-old Prospect driveway failing at the edges?+
Almost always insufficient base depth at install time. Many 1990s-2000s subdivisions used 100mm of road-base under the asphalt, which is fine for a few years but inadequate for sustained vehicle loads. A strip-and-relay with proper 150-200mm base is the long-term fix.
Can you top-coat over my existing asphalt?+
Sometimes. If the existing surface is sound but cosmetically tired, a 25mm overlay is fine. If there's edge failure, rutting, or visible base movement, an overlay will fail within 5 years. We assess on site and give you the honest answer.
Standard turnaround for a Prospect driveway?+
2 to 3 weeks from quote acceptance. Site prep, pour and roll all done in a single day. Walk-on within hours, drive-on within 48 hours.
Do you offer warranty on strip-and-relay jobs?+
Yes, our workmanship guarantee covers a strip-and-relay the same as a new pour. Base prep is the part that historically fails earliest, and that's the part we control on a strip-and-relay.
