Glen Waverley is one of the most active suburbs in Melbourne’s south-east for residential renovation and property improvement. It is also one of the areas we work in most regularly. Our base in Clayton puts us about ten minutes away, which means we can come out to quote quickly and get jobs booked in without long lead times.
Every quote we give is written down and itemised before anything starts. The price you see is the price you pay. Joey and the crew do the work themselves. There is no handoff to a subcontractor halfway through a job.
Glen Waverley is one of the most established and well-presented suburbs in the Monash LGA. Properties here tend to be well maintained, which means the standard of finish expected on concreting work is high. We understand that. A driveway or outdoor area on a well-kept Glen Waverley property needs to look right, not just function.
The suburb also has a strong mix of property types. There are large family homes with wide double driveways and rear-access garages, newer townhouse developments with tighter sites and limited access, and older properties being renovated where matching or complementing existing finishes matters.
Like much of the Monash area, Glen Waverley sits on reactive clay soils that expand and contract with moisture changes across Melbourne’s seasons. Correct site preparation, including proper compaction of the sub-base, is not optional on these sites. It is the difference between a driveway that looks good in five years and one that is already cracking. Our team knows this ground and accounts for it in every job we quote.
Con Ops works across the wider South-East Melbourne region. From Glen Waverley, we regularly take on work in the surrounding suburbs including:

Pricing in Glen Waverley follows the same range as the broader South-East Melbourne area, generally $85 to $120 per square metre for a residential driveway. The final figure depends on the size of the driveway, the finish selected, whether there is an existing surface to remove, and site access. A written quote is included at no charge before any work begins.
In many cases, yes. Exact colour matches on older concrete are not always possible due to weathering, but we can get very close on exposed aggregate and plain finishes. For stencilled patterns, we carry a range of standard options. We will give you an honest assessment during the quote visit.
Not necessarily. If only sections have moved or cracked, localised repair or resurfacing may be sufficient. If the base beneath the surround has failed or there is widespread movement, replacement is the right answer. We will look at it properly and tell you what it actually needs rather than quoting the most expensive option by default.
For foot traffic, concrete is typically ready within 24 to 48 hours. For vehicle use, we recommend waiting at least seven days for a standard residential mix. We will give you specific guidance based on the mix used and the weather conditions at the time of the pour.
For work that touches the nature strip or road boundary, yes, you will generally need council approval. Monash City Council has requirements around crossover dimensions and construction standards. We can walk you through what is involved for your specific property when we come out to quote.
No. We quote on pathway jobs, small slab areas, resealing work, and pressure washing as readily as we quote on full driveway replacements or large commercial pours. Call us and describe what you need.
