St Andrews Beach is big blocks, low scrub and sand, set back from the surf coast with golf country on either side. The houses are a mix of older shacks and newer architectural builds, and the blocks are large enough that the driveway is often the biggest concrete decision on the property. Running concrete the whole way is expensive, so plenty of owners pour the turning area and the approach to the garage and leave the rest in gravel.
We are upfront about this: we are a referral service only. We pass your enquiry to experienced, insured local concreters who work St Andrews Beach regularly.

How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services St Andrews Beach, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
On a large block it is worth asking the concreter to price two options: the full run and a shorter concrete section with a gravel approach. The difference is often larger than people expect.
What concreting costs in St Andrews Beach
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Area is the main driver here. Base material, compaction over sand and cartage to this end of the Peninsula do the rest. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Victoria, building work is regulated by the Victorian Building Authority and by councils. What applies to your job depends on its type, size and location, so ask the concreter to set out registration and permits in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Is a gravel and concrete combination sensible?
It is common on large blocks. Concrete where cars turn, park and climb, gravel on the straight run. Ask for both prices and decide on the numbers.
How thick should a driveway be for a four wheel drive and a trailer?
Heavier than a standard car driveway. Your concreter will confirm after looking at the ground, and it should be written into the quote.
