HomeAsphalt Driveways
Tired of cracks, potholes, and puddles at your front gate? Start Surfacing builds asphalt driveways that stay smooth, firm, and crack-free for decades.
Strata Surfacing covers the full range of asphalt and bitumen work — new surfaces, resurfacing, sealing and repairs. Some weeks that means a suburban driveway; other weeks it is a car park, a depot hardstand or a stretch of council road. The approach does not change: we look at the site first, sort out the base and the drainage, then choose a mix and a build-up that suits the traffic the surface has to carry. You get a straight quote, a crew that turns up, and a finish that is checked before we leave.

Hot mix asphalt laid over a compacted base and rolled while it is still workable, so the surface knits together properly. Suits driveways, car parks and roads that need a smooth, sealed finish able to handle daily traffic and Perth weather.

New asphalt and spray-seal driveways for homes, farms and rural blocks, finished neatly at the edges and shaped so water runs off. Easy to sweep, easy to look after, and far kinder on tyres and suspension than loose gravel.

Full road builds for subdivisions, private estates, rural properties and council work. We handle the earthworks, base courses, kerbing where it is required and the final surface, so one crew carries the job from cleared ground through to open road.

Sprayed bitumen with an aggregate cover, applied over a prepared base. A practical way to seal larger areas such as rural driveways, access tracks and country roads, giving a firm, skid-resistant surface that keeps dust and loose stone down.

Larger surfacing and resurfacing programs for commercial premises, developments and civil sites. We plan the work around your access and trading hours, staging it in sections so gates, loading docks and parking keep operating while we are on site.

Heavy-duty pavements for depots, machinery yards, laydown areas and wash bays. The base is built up to match the loads it will carry, so the surface holds its shape under trucks, forklifts and stacked material instead of rutting.
Learn MoreMilling machines remove worn or uneven layers to an exact depth, leaving a clean, level platform. Useful where kerb heights and door thresholds have to stay put, and where an old surface needs taking back before a new one goes on.
Learn MorePotholes cut out square, cleaned and filled properly rather than topped up, plus grading to reshape a surface that has lost its falls. Restores an even run for vehicles and stops water pooling where the damage started.
Learn MoreCracks let water into the base, which is what turns a small problem into an expensive one. We clean the crack out, seal it and finish it flush — a cheap job now compared with resurfacing the whole area later on.
Learn MorePatch repairs, edge breaks, failed sections and worn surfaces on private roads, estate streets and council roads. We cut back to sound material, rebuild the layers that failed and match the new work neatly into the existing surface.
Learn MoreLine marking for car parks, access roads and work areas — bays, arrows, give-way lines, accessible spaces and hatching. Clear markings keep traffic moving the right way and make a site easier and safer for everyone to use.

Your driveway sits on Perth's sandy soil, so the surface lasts as long as the layers beneath it. Most cracked driveways we inspect fail because an earlier contractor skimped on base depth or compaction, not because asphalt is a poor choice. We build every layer to suit your soil, your slope and the vehicles you park. Our team handles new asphalt driveway installation, replacement of worn surfaces, asphalt driveway repair for cracks and potholes, and asphalt crossovers built to your council's specifications. Whether you need a residential asphalt driveway or a commercial access road, you get the same crew, the same process and a clear quote before work begins.

Why Asphalt Solutions
Asphalt flexes with Perth’s hot days and cool nights, while rigid concrete tends to crack once the sand beneath it shifts. That flexibility gives your driveway strong weather resistance and longevity, often 20 to 30 years with basic care. You can park on fresh asphalt within a day rather than wait a week for concrete to cure. The dark finish cuts glare, offers better grip underfoot and gives your home clean curb appeal. Later, when the surface wears, we resurface it without a full tear-out, which saves you money.
What to Expect
At the first visit, we measure your site, check slope stability and plan surface drainage so water runs away from your garage instead of pooling. For most residential asphalt driveways, we lay AC10 dense graded asphalt at 30 to 40mm, which gives a smooth, tight finish. If you park a caravan, boat or work ute, we step up to AC14 and a deeper base for extra load-bearing strength. Our crews compact every layer to the target density, and we seal each joint against the existing surface. Most driveways take one to two days, and we confirm when you can park.
Our Process
We start with a site visit and a written, itemised quote. Next, our crew excavates, grades the subgrade and compacts the sub-base, with compaction testing where your site needs it. We then apply a tack coat or emulsion primer, lay the hot mix with a paver and finish it with a roller. Finally, we clean up, walk the job with you and explain how to look after your new driveway.

A well-built asphalt driveway in Perth usually lasts 20 to 30 years. The biggest factors are base preparation, compaction and asphalt thickness. Prompt crack sealing and good surface drainage add years, while a thin, poorly compacted surface can fail within a decade.
For standard family cars, we lay 30 to 40mm of compacted AC10 over a solid crushed rock base. If you park caravans, boats or trade vehicles, we recommend 40mm or more of AC14 with a deeper base. Asphalt thickness alone can't fix poor groundwork.
For most Perth homes, yes. Asphalt costs less to lay, flexes as sandy soil moves and is ready to use much sooner. It also resurfaces easily, while damaged concrete usually needs demolition. Concrete suits you better if you want decorative colours or patterns.
Yes, if the base is still sound. We mill or clean the old surface, apply a tack coat and lay a fresh asphalt layer. If you see widespread cracking, sinking or potholes, the base has usually failed, and asphalt driveway replacement becomes the better option.
Yes, in most Perth councils. The crossover sits on council land, so your local council sets its width, levels and approved materials. Some only accept concrete or pavers. We check your council's crossover specifications before we quote and build to them.
You can usually walk on fresh asphalt within a few hours and park light vehicles on it after about 24 hours. In peak summer heat, wait longer and avoid sharp turns on the spot, since warm asphalt scuffs easily for the first few weeks.
Book a repair as soon as you notice cracks, loose stones or water pooling. Small cracks let water reach the base, which then softens and turns into potholes. A quick crack seal or patch costs far less than a full resurface or replacement.
Yes. We build commercial driveways and access roads for businesses, strata complexes and industrial sites across Perth. Heavier traffic calls for thicker asphalt, a deeper sub-base and often AC14, so we design each commercial job around the vehicles and loads it will carry.
Tell us about your block, your vehicles and any issues with your current surface. We’ll inspect the site, explain whether repair, resurfacing or replacement suits you best, and send a written quote with clear specs. From there, you pick a start date, and our local Perth crew handles the rest.
