Concrete Driveway - Adds value to your home. Period!
Prominent Feature
Your driveway is the most prominent feature at the entrance of your house. Its needs to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It will increase your overall property value and your Joy.
Looks after the car
Better to park the vehicle on driveway rather than on the streets where it can be damaged. Car insurers love this! Tell them and they may offer an insurance discount.
Adds Value to your property – up to 10% on to selling price
Having ample parking space for his, her and the teenager’s vehicle will add overall value to your home. It also allows you too easily view the driveway to see if your teenager is “out on the town”.
Family Fun
A good driveway opens a myriad of options – bike riding, push chair and wheel chair access and the kids can play basketball and other ball games. Invite a few bubble friends over have a BBQ on it.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
