Driveway Installation in Auckland
Blake Civil Construction provides driveway installation in Auckland for residential homes, new builds, subdivisions, and commercial properties. Whether you need a single residential driveway on a flat section or a steep shared driveway serving multiple lots in North Auckland, our concrete crews handle the full scope — from subbase preparation and Auckland Transport vehicle crossing consent through to the final pour and finish.
What is Driveway Installation in Auckland?
A driveway installation is more than pouring concrete on the ground. In Auckland, getting it right means building a proper compacted subbase, installing reinforcing steel, pouring to the correct thickness, and finishing the surface to drain water away from buildings and garages. Auckland Transport also requires a vehicle crossing consent for any new driveway that connects to a public road — and the crossing must be built to their specifications. The combination of correct ground preparation, reinforced concrete, and compliant vehicle crossings produces a driveway that handles daily vehicle loads and Auckland weather for decades.
- Residential concrete driveways for new builds, renovations, and replacement of failed surfaces
- Shared driveways for subdivisions with multiple lot access off a single vehicle crossing
- Steep driveway construction on hilly Auckland sections with slip-resistant finishes
- Auckland Transport vehicle crossing consent applications and compliant crossing construction
- Exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, and broom-finish options to suit your property
- Full site preparation including excavation, GAP 65 subbase, compaction, formwork, and reinforcing mesh
Based in Coatesville, Blake Civil Construction has poured driveways across Auckland's North and Northwest for years. Our crews know how to handle the clay subgrade common across the region and build driveways that perform properly on flat sections and steep hillside sites alike.
When You Need Us
When You Need Driveway Installation in Auckland in Auckland
Old Cracked Driveway Needs Full Replacement
Your existing driveway has cracked, settled, or broken up beyond repair. The old surface needs to be removed and a new concrete driveway installed with proper subbase preparation and reinforcing.
New Build Requires a Driveway and Vehicle Crossing
Your new home needs a concrete driveway connecting the garage to the street, plus a vehicle crossing built to Auckland Transport specifications with the required consent in place.
Subdivision Shared Driveway for Multiple Lots
A multi-lot subdivision needs a shared driveway providing access to rear lots. The driveway must carry multiple vehicles daily, meet council width and turning requirements, and serve as a right-of-way.
Steep Section Needs a Driveway on a Hill
Your Auckland hillside section has a steep grade between the street and the house. The driveway needs to be built with correct drainage, slip-resistant finish, and retaining where the gradient is steepest.
Adding a Second Vehicle Crossing for Better Access
Your property needs an additional vehicle crossing for a new garage, separate parking area, or improved access from a different street frontage. Auckland Transport consent is required for the new crossing.
Exposed Aggregate Driveway for Street Appeal
You want your new driveway to match the look of your home. Exposed aggregate concrete with selected stone blends provides a decorative, durable, and low-maintenance finish.
Commercial Property Needs Heavy-Duty Driveway
A commercial or industrial property needs a driveway designed for heavier vehicles — thicker slab, stronger concrete mix, and heavier reinforcing to handle truck and trailer loads.
Driveway Extension for Boat or Caravan Parking
Your existing driveway does not reach your boat or caravan parking area. An extension with proper base preparation and matching finish adds functional parking space to your property.
Our Process
Our Driveway Installation in Auckland Process
Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every driveway installation in auckland project.
Site Assessment and Driveway Design
We visit your property, assess the ground conditions, measure the gradient, check drainage paths, and discuss finish options. If a new vehicle crossing is needed, we identify the Auckland Transport requirements upfront.
Vehicle Crossing Consent (If Required)
For new or modified vehicle crossings, we prepare and lodge the application with Auckland Transport. The consent covers crossing width, location, construction method, and stormwater management at the kerb line.
Excavation and Subbase Preparation
We excavate to the correct depth, remove unsuitable material, and lay a compacted GAP 65 hardfill subbase. In Auckland's clay soils, proper subbase preparation is critical to prevent the slab settling or cracking.
Formwork and Reinforcing
Timber formwork is set to the driveway profile with correct falls for drainage. Steel reinforcing mesh is placed on bar chairs at the right height within the slab to carry vehicle loads and resist cracking.
Concrete Pour and Finishing
Concrete is poured, vibrated to remove air pockets, and finished to your chosen surface — broom finish, exposed aggregate, or coloured concrete. Control joints are cut at the correct spacing to manage shrinkage cracking.
Curing and Handover
The concrete is cured for the specified period to reach full strength before vehicle use. We hand over a finished driveway ready for daily service, with drainage working correctly and all surfaces finished to specification.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Blake Civil for Driveway Installation in Auckland?
Proper Subbase for Auckland Clay
Auckland's heavy Waitemata clay shifts and holds water, which is the main cause of driveway cracking and settlement. We excavate to full depth and lay compacted GAP 65 hardfill to create a stable, free-draining base that supports the concrete slab long-term.
Vehicle Crossing Compliance
Every new driveway connection to a public road needs Auckland Transport vehicle crossing consent. We handle the application, build the crossing to specification, and coordinate any kerb and channel work so the crossing passes inspection first time.
Steep Driveway Experience
North Auckland is full of steep sections — Coatesville, Dairy Flat, Albany Hills, and the Hibiscus Coast all have properties where the driveway gradient is a real challenge. We build steep driveways with correct drainage, slip-resistant finishes, and retaining solutions where needed.
Decorative Finish Options
Plain grey is not the only choice. We pour exposed aggregate with a range of local and imported stone blends, coloured concrete using integral oxide pigments, and textured broom finishes — so your driveway matches the look you want for your property.
Reinforced for Daily Vehicle Loads
Every driveway we pour is reinforced with steel mesh placed at the correct height within the slab. The reinforcing carries the weight of cars, SUVs, and heavier vehicles without the cracking that comes from unreinforced concrete or mesh placed in the wrong position.
One Crew — Full Driveway Scope
From the initial excavation and vehicle crossing consent through to the final pour and curing, we manage the entire driveway installation under one contract. One point of contact, one programme, and no need to coordinate separate earthworks, formwork, and concreting trades.
