A Stunning Driveway Renovation

Designed For Better Access and Street Appeal

Project Details

A Driveway That Elevates Both Function and Style

Ian’s home in Hawthorne had plenty of charm, but it needed a driveway renovation to match. The old concrete was cracked and uneven, making access difficult and dragging down the home’s street appeal. Ian did not want a quick patch-up job. He needed a long-lasting, high-quality driveway that blended seamlessly with his home’s entrance. This was more than just pouring fresh concrete. The project required earthworks, plumbing adjustments, and careful demolition to create a driveway that was both durable and visually seamless. Debret delivered a custom exposed aggregate driveway that completely transformed the front of Ian’s home, giving it a fresh and polished look.

A Driveway Built to Last & Look the Part

Ian’s old driveway wasn’t just worn out and it made the front of his home look unfinished. He wanted a driveway renovation that matched his entrance stairs and gate for a clean, modern look. Debret prepped the site for an electric gate install, making sure everything would line up with Ian’s future plans. They also added proper water management to stop pooling and direct runoff away from the house. With these upgrades in place, Ian’s new driveway looks great and will stay in top shape for years to come.

From Demolition to a Flawless Finish

Debret managed every part of the driveway renovation, making sure the final result was durable and matched Ian’s home perfectly. Unlike companies that just pour concrete and move on, Debret handled everything in-house. There were no subcontractors or delays, just a smooth, stress-free process from start to finish. The team removed the old driveway and kerbing to clear the way for a fresh foundation. Debret carried out earthworks to grade the site properly, which helped manage water runoff and keep the surface stable long-term. They also adjusted the plumbing to prevent drainage issues later on. After prepping the site, they poured the exposed aggregate driveway with a high-end Cosmos finish to match Ian’s entrance. To wrap it up, they sealed the surface for extra protection against stains, weather, and everyday wear.

A Stunning First Impression That Lasts

The driveway renovation gave Ian’s home a polished, high-end finish that looked like it had always been there. The exposed aggregate added texture and depth, seamlessly blending with the entrance and surrounding features. With a durable, sealed surface, the driveway is built to handle daily use while remaining low maintenance. More than just improving access, it elevated the home’s curb appeal, making the entire property feel modern, well-designed, and complete.
