Asphalting Hobart

It comes down to the area, how easy the site is to get a truck and paver into, the state of the existing base, and the finish you're after. We don't quote blind over the phone, we come and look, then put a fixed price in writing, usually within 48 hours.

You can walk on it within a few hours. Hold off parking the car for a day or two. Anything heavy, a loaded trailer, a caravan, a boat, give it a week so the mix has properly hardened off underneath.

We can, we just plan around the weather. The mix needs a dry surface and ground that isn't freezing, so through the colder months we watch the forecast, line up the hot mix for a clear run, and reschedule rather than lay into the wet. A short wait beats a driveway that won't bond.

Bitumen is just the black glue. Asphalt is that binder already blended with crushed rock, ready to lay and compact. When folks around Hobart ask for a 'bitumen driveway' they almost always mean asphalt, and that's what we put down.

The section inside your own boundary doesn't need a permit. The bit where it meets the road, the crossover, does need sign-off from your council, whether that's the City of Hobart, Glenorchy, Clarence or Kingborough. We'll tell you which form you need and help you get it in.

The warmer stretch from spring into autumn fills up, figure on a few weeks' wait. Through winter it's usually quicker. We'll have a written quote back to you inside 48 hours of the site visit, and locking in a deposit holds your spot in the run.

Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, written on the quote so there's nothing fuzzy about it. If something isn't sitting right within that period, we come back and sort it, no argument.

We work right across greater Hobart and the southern end of the state, Sandy Bay, Battery Point, Glenorchy, Moonah, the eastern shore through Bellerive and Howrah, down to Kingston and the surrounds. If you're a bit further out, give us a call and we'll let you know.
