Driveways & Access
Concrete Driveways
in Hervey Bay
Structured, level, hard-wearing driveways and footpaths built for daily use in Queensland.
Thorough Site Prep to Final Finish
Concrete Driveways Poured to Last
At Mark Holstein Concreting, we pour concrete driveways in Hervey Bay that hold up to real family life, from daily commutes to boats, trailers and heavy utes rolling in and out. Every driveway begins with careful site prep, straight formwork and the right steel, then finishes with a clean, considered surface texture. We also install matching footpaths, side accesses and pathways that tie the whole property together.
If your job includes an outdoor concrete area or a shed slab, we can roll that into the same project so the finish stays consistent. Ready to plan yours? Call 0410 965 508.
Built to hold
Site prep is where the job is won
A driveway is only as good as what sits underneath it. We strip back the topsoil, level and compact the sub-base, and set reinforcement so the slab moves as one piece rather than cracking apart. From there we set precise falls for drainage, run clean control joints and choose a finish that suits how the surface will be used, whether that is a simple broom finish, exposed aggregate or a smoother trowelled top.
Our team completes every step to a high standard, not to the clock, because a driveway that lifts or cracks in a few years costs everyone more. Get the base right, and the finish takes care of itself.
Our Process
Concrete driveway installation
Our driveway installation services are meticulous. From the strip-out and sub-base preparation through to the formwork, steel, pour and finish, we pride ourselves on a smooth, durable finish. We'll select the right mix and thickness for the vehicles you run, set proper falls so water clears the slab and cut clean joints so the surface moves without cracking. You'll end up with a driveway that is solid underfoot and works hard for decades of everyday use.
Around the House & Beyond
Neat Paths, Clean Edges
Well-built footpaths tidy up a property and make it safer to move around. We form paths around houses, along boundary fences, out to sheds and around garden beds, with clean edges and even surfaces. Our team matches widths, thicknesses and finishes to each space, and we work in falls so water sheds away from the house. The result is a path that's intentional and lasts as long as the driveway it connects to.

Most residential driveways use a 25 to 32 MPa mix, poured at around 100 to 125 millimetres thick and reinforced with steel mesh. The exact spec depends on the sub-base, vehicle load and site conditions, and we choose it job-by-job for you.
Fresh concrete is walkable within about 24 to 48 hours, safe for light vehicles after around seven days, and reaches its full design strength at 28 days. It's recommended to keep heavy vehicles and turning loads off the slab until that final curing window has completely passed.
In most cases, new concrete should not be poured over an old slab, because bonding, thickness and drainage all suffer. Resurfacing is often better for cosmetic damage, while structurally worn slabs are best broken out and replaced so the new pour performs correctly on site.
