Whether you need a new concrete driveway, an exposed aggregate entertaining area, a set of paths or a shed slab, we pour it right in Ripley. Choose from plain, coloured, stencilled or exposed aggregate concrete finishes, or robust brick, stone and aggregate driveways for acreage and rural blocks. Every job is excavated, formed up, based and reinforced with steel mesh before the pour, and finished to the right level and falls so water drains away from your home. With our own machinery and a QBCC-licensed crew, your Ripley concreting is done properly from the ground up.

FAQs
Concreting & Driveway FAQs – Ripley
Common questions about concreting and driveways in Ripley.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Ripley?
A concrete driveway in Ripley is priced per square metre and depends on the size, the finish (plain, coloured or exposed aggregate), the amount of excavation and formwork, and reinforcement. Exposed aggregate and decorative finishes cost more than plain concrete. The best way to get an accurate price is a free on-site quote.
What is exposed aggregate concrete?
Exposed aggregate is a concrete finish where the top layer is washed back to reveal the stones in the mix, giving a textured, non-slip, great-looking surface. It is a popular choice for driveways, paths and pool surrounds in Ripley because it is tough and hides marks well.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on new concrete after a day or so, but you should wait about seven days before driving a car on it and longer for heavy vehicles, so it cures to full strength. We will let you know the exact timing for your Ripley driveway when we finish.
Do you do concrete paths and shed slabs in Ripley?
Yes. Alongside driveways we pour concrete paths, footpaths, courtyards, patio slabs and shed and garage slabs across Ripley, all prepared and reinforced properly so they last.
Can I get coloured or stencilled concrete?
Yes. We do coloured, stencilled and exposed aggregate concrete as well as plain, so you can match your Ripley driveway or path to your home. We will show you finishes and colours during the quote.
Do you do aggregate and gravel driveways?
Yes. As well as concrete driveways we build robust brick, stone and aggregate driveways in Ripley, on a properly compacted base so they take the load and drain well – a good option for acreage and longer rural driveways.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Holly Civil holds a QBCC structural landscaping licence, carries $20 million public liability cover and is licensed to operate most machines, so your Ripley concreting is done properly and safely.

We have built our name across Jimboomba, Logan and the Scenic Rim on retaining walls and fencing, but our experience runs deep and wide: land clearing, pasture restoration and fire mitigation, retaining walls in timber, steel and concrete, every type of fencing, and property maintenance and preparation for sale.

Common questions about our retaining walls, fencing and structural landscaping.
What areas does Holly Civil service?
We are based in Jimboomba and service the surrounding suburbs plus Logan, the Scenic Rim, Beaudesert, Brisbane South and the North Gold Coast. This includes Logan Village, Cedar Grove, Greenbank, Park Ridge, Yarrabilba, Flagstone, Beaudesert, Tamborine, Ormeau and Pimpama. If you are nearby and not sure, just give us a call.
What types of retaining walls do you build?
We build all common retaining wall types including timber sleeper, concrete sleeper, besser block, stone and boulder, and steel and concrete walls. For larger engineered walls that need certification, we bring in our engineers and licensed builders so everything is designed and signed off correctly.
Are you QBCC licensed and insured?
Yes. Holly Civil holds a QBCC structural landscaping licence and carries $20 million in public liability cover. We are also licensed to operate most machines. You are dealing with a properly licensed and insured business on every job.
Do I need council approval or engineering for a retaining wall?
It depends on the height and situation. Lower garden and boundary walls generally do not need engineering, while taller walls often require an engineer's certification and sometimes council approval. We handle this for you - if your wall needs engineering, we arrange it as part of the job.
What types of fencing do you install?
We install boundary, privacy and pool-compliant fencing along with gates and privacy screens, in timber, Colorbond and other materials. We regularly build fencing on sloping and graded sites, which is where a structural landscaper makes all the difference.
Do you handle complete projects from clearing to finish?
Yes. We can take a job from raw, uneven ground right through to a finished result - site excavation and clearing, leveling and grading, retaining walls, fencing, paving, drainage, decks and turf. One licensed crew for the whole project.
Do you offer free quotes?
We do. We come out to your site, discuss what you are after and give you a clear, no-obligation quote. Call us on 0483 203 324 or fill in the enquiry form on this page and we will get straight back to you.

Every job is different - the cost depends on length, height, materials, access and site conditions. The best way to get an accurate price is a free on-site quote, where we can see the ground and give you a fair, honest figure with no surprises later.
Do you do work for builders and property managers?
Yes. Alongside homeowners and acreage owners, we regularly work for builders, developers and property managers who need reliable, licensed structural landscaping and site works completed on time and to a high standard.
