Concrete Driveways Harkaway | Heavy-Duty Driveways
Heavy-duty concrete driveways built for trucks, floats and machinery on Harkaway acreage blocks.
Concrete driveways in Harkaway.
Harkaway is a rural-residential pocket tucked under the tree-covered hills south of Berwick — large acreage blocks, hobby farms and horse properties where a driveway does real work. Out here a driveway has to take the weight of a loaded truck, a horse float, a tractor or a hay trailer without spalling or cracking along the edge, and that changes how we build.
We spec heavier slabs, a deeper sub-base and steel reinforcement rated for vehicle loads, and we extend the transition from gravel farm track to concrete so you're not left with a soft edge that breaks away in the first wet winter. Whether it's a long sweeping run from the road to the house pad or a hardstand beside the shed, every Harkaway pour is engineered for the loads it will actually carry.
Built for Harkaway’s reactive clay.
Harkaway's reactive clay (H1/H2) is compounded by sloping blocks and runoff from the hills. We go to 100mm+ slab thickness with F62 mesh or better and place controlled joints so the slab can flex with seasonal ground movement. On acreage we also manage surface drainage so water doesn't undercut the slab edge and wash out the sub-base.
Permits handled for you.
Harkaway crossovers fall under City of Casey vehicle crossing permits — and on acreage the crossover often needs to be wider and rated for heavy vehicles. We handle the permit application and build to the heavier spec.

Heavy-Duty Plain Concrete
Thicker slabs with heavier mesh, built for trucks, floats and machinery on Harkaway acreage — plain concrete that takes a beating.
Aggregate Rated for Heavy Vehicles
Exposed aggregate in durable stone mixes rated for heavy-vehicle traffic — grip and strength for driveways that work.
Gravel-to-Concrete Transitions
Long, keyed transitions from gravel farm tracks to concrete so the edge holds under load and doesn't break away in winter.
Harkaway driveway questions.
Heavy-duty driveways in Harkaway start around $85–$110 per m² for plain concrete rated for trucks and machinery; exposed aggregate for heavy vehicles runs $120–$160 per m². Long rural driveways of 150 m²+ typically range from $13,000 to $24,000.
Yes. We spec thicker slabs, heavier mesh and a deeper sub-base for driveways that carry floats, trucks and machinery — it's most of what we do in Harkaway.
Yes. We extend the concrete past the gravel track and key it in so the edge doesn't break off under load — a common failure point on rural driveways.
Yes — Harkaway crossovers need a City of Casey vehicle crossing permit, and on acreage the crossover may need to be wider and heavy-vehicle rated. We handle the application.
We grade the site and install surface drainage so runoff from the hills doesn't undercut the slab — critical on acreage where water moves fast.
