No worries thanks again for the work great job looks fantastic. Once I put the panels on the garden boxes I will tag you guys through my business Instagram page help promote the architecture aspect of exposed ag with steel art
Work was way above expectations and was done very quickly, all members of his team are very professional, friendly and know what they are doing. I highly recommend this company.
David, Antoinette and the team, thank you for my lovely new driveway. I love the look and feel of my new exposed aggregate driveway with the now additional two car spots. You worked around my tenant issues and the weather professionally which was not always easy. You took the time to listen to me and meet with me onsite on several occasions, and provided particularly useful insight into the gate solution. Thanks again and best regards, Angela
Dear David & Team,
Just a note to say thank you for a very professional job on our concrete at Welland Drive. We were very pleased with the quality of the job. From a very comprehensive quotation to the completion of the job, we were always kept informed of the status of the works. Your team did an excellent job. Highly recommended. Thank You.
Hi Antoinette,
My apologies for the delay, this has now been paid. Thanks so much you guys did a terrific job!
Hi David,

Thanks Antoinette,
We are very happy with the works undertaken.
Great customer sevice. Always had quick responses & my questions answered.
Thanks for finishing the job efficiently and promptly after commencing. Happy with the results and the attention to detail, and the nice finish! Good work!
Hi David, Still loving our exposed aggregate driveway that your company did for us however many years ago, and that you cleaned in the last 12 months or so.
Hi Antionette,
Thank your team on a wonderful job done! We are very happy with the result and will recommend you to others in future.
Hi… I’m glad I chose your business to install the driveway … I’m super impressed with the result… Fantastic work fantastic staff to deal with!
Just to let you know that the three guys onsite today where great and very professional. You have a great team and i know how hard it can be to find reliable employees. Thanks
Very thorough and professional job. Exceeded my expectations. Would be very happy to recommend you to others
When I got home last night I saw the terrace finished and could you thank the guys because it is looking just wonderful!It has been such a seamless experience and we would recommend your company to anyone.
Fabulous job, no hiccups , great communication, very professional, suggested options I hadn’t even thought of (as in improvements to my original thinking), I’d recommend you to anyone & already have. Three families in the street are now saving to have similar work done.
We were very happy with the overall service, we had many delays due to weather and a hiccup with the amount of concrete required but we were informed at each step along the way and were able to discuss any decisions required.We would definitely use again.
I am grateful for the communication and the time Dave took to understand and clarify my concerns in the beginning. The documentation provided is very comprehensive. Very insightful for the uninitiated
A very professional service – end result looks great. my wife and i are very happy with the outcome. Always keep in the loop due to unexpected delays due to weather – well done to the whole team.
Hi David and Antionette,
Thanks for the great work – we’re very happy with the driveway and concreting!
Excellent customer service too. Well done to you and your team.
Like anyone having building works carried out on their own property I was nervous. I needn’t have been with A Better Driveway. The driveway looks fantastic; but what also makes ABD shine out over the rest of the competition is the level of detail which goes into all aspects of the job. David listened during the quotation, provided alternative suggestions, and delivered an extremely detailed quotation.Prior to commencement of actual building works you’re provided with a complete breakdown on the stages of the build, what to expect in each stage, but also an introduction to each of the people working on-site – so they’re not just random people turning! I also found that not only could you talk with the main supervisor on the day (Shaun), but all of the other guys were polite (handing in mail that was delivered).We had a few changes during the pour process, but this was only a marginal cost increase; so overall we’re very happy customers!
The workmanship is fantastic, and the driveway looks amazing! I never knew that dealing with contractors could be so easy! Dealing with David and his team has been a pleasure, from start to finish. No request or alteration was too big or too inconvenient. Highly recommend their work, and would not hesitate to use again.
Hi Antoinette, Please pass on my gratitude to David and the boy’s as Cathy (my wife) and I are absolutely ecstatic at the result as it turned out exceeding all our expectations and comments we have received from others have been extremely positive. I’ll be more than happy to recommend “A Better Driveway” to anyone who asks us. Thanks
Really happy I chose A Better Driveway. Drive and paths look great. You arrived when you said you would and got the job done when you said you would. Would definitely recommend the company
Over all this has been one of the easiest jobs we have done on this house and let me tell you we have done a lot being owner builders. With each and every stage we were informed of what was going on and every one of our expectations were met.Thank you David, Antoinette and A Better Driveway would definitely call you for more work if required.
Hi Antoinette,I would just like to say what a fantastic job the team have done with our driveway. Donna and I are extremely happy with the not only the standard of work, but also the way the job was progressed.If you could please pass this onto David and the team it would be much appreciated.I do have one question, which may be hard to answer given the current climate. I was just wondering what the expected time frame is before we would be able to drive on the driveway?
I found photos of their work on Pinterest and loved how they did their driveways. The problem was that I live in California, not Melbourne, Australia. So, I emailed the company in the hopes that I could tell my contractor what they were using. David responded to my email right away and offered to call me. He not only paid for the call, but he spent time explaining and educating me on their process and materials so I could inform my contractor. I was blown away by his genuine kindness and knowledge. It impressed me that he went above and beyond just to be helpful. I wished he worked abroad so I could hire him.
Hey Antoinette!
I’ve just processed our final payment and I can’t even begin to express how happy I am with the end product!
I left work at 6pm; picked up my Mum and Dad and raced over to see because I had your phone message ringing in my ears! Well, what I found took my breath away! The colour – F2 mix – and the finish; the neat and spotless presentation – it’s perfect Antoinette, just perfect! When I think of how anxious I’ve been over this job…. David and his crew made the wait more than worth it! They gave us an asset to be proud of for years and years to come!
I was so happy I rang to speak to David – he wasn’t available and I left a half-mental expression of how very, very please I am – and so is Frank; and my brother Alex (who lives at the place); and my Mum and Dad too; my sister Anna rang to say it looks awesome – and I’m sure the compliments will keep coming!
I’ll ring David in the morning to thank him personally!
I’m thankful, grateful and very, very happy right now! ….and did I mention that YOU are the most excellent office-administration-take-care-of-everything-in-the-background person ever?
Thanks Antoinette, you’ve all done us proud!
I’ll be recommending A Better Driveway/Simply Driveways for a very, very long time!
With our gratitude and best wishes
Hi David and Antoinette,
I just want to say a huge thank you for the brilliant job you have done on our driveway and paths. I have to be honest I got a little frustrated with the change of dates due to the weather and thought to myself: “Hey David this is my driveway not yours.” The fact is I am so glad you treated our driveway as if it were your own.
Your fussiness and pedantic attention to detail is something that I really value and I can truthfully say that you are an incredibly good and safe company to deal with. You also didn’t try to over sell either which is absolute integrity at its best.
On the contrary, I have been observing the work currently underway on one of my neighbour’s driveways and have been absolutely horrified at the slip slop approach. There has not been the attention to detail that your crew gave.
Your employees are just as pedantic as you in regard to ensuring that nothing is left to chance.
I want to say David that you are the ultimate professional and I am glad we chose “A better Driveway” to do our work.
To David and his; his team! Thanks again for the great job done, couldn’t be any happier looks great and heap of compliments from friends and neighbours. Keep up the good work boys and if any further projects to be done your first on my list
Hi David and Antoinette,We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the exceptionally good workmanship and professional service. We are delighted to see how well the driveway has been done. Especially we would like to thank Lou and Chris for getting the levels right in the front. It was not an easy task and Lou was very active in ensuring that it was done right. Also it was an absolute pleasure to chat with Lou on many things. We would also like to thank Lou’s son John Claude for carrying out very hard work in the background. We wish him well with his future endeavours. Micheal did a wonderful job, first by washing the concrete and later today by saw cutting the concrete driveway in an aesthetically pleasing way. Antoinette did a wonderful service by providing us with all the necessary information and maintaining the essential link between us and you. So, we would like to sincerely thank her for that.Finally we would like to thank David Dally for his true professional service and honest dealing with us. Both Erosha and I agree that we would not have gone with your company unless David came and had a chat with us in the way he did. We felt that he wanted to provide a quality service when discussing the job and gave us all the background information necessary for us to be comfortable with the job. Especially, David’s strategy of advertising (i.e. the material provided including the CD and your website with past work) is definitely not wasted and choice of the concrete provider (Metromix) is great. Also, we were impressed to see him finishing off concreting with other workers to get things done when time mattered most.Overall we are very happy with you + your work and it was such a pleasure to deal with you all. We think that we are lucky to get your service. We wish you all the best with your company and please do not hesitate to ask potential clients to contact us if they like know our experience in dealing with you.
Hi David, Antoinette and team,
We would like to thank you so much for your professionalism.
The concreting team were very courteous, friendly and approachable and you have both been very helpful and supportive. We would definitely recommend A Better Driveway to anyone that needs a job well done.
