Paths are where exposed aggregate quietly outworks every alternative: no pavers to sink and trip on, no gravel to migrate into the lawn, and a surface that grips in the wet on the shaded side of a house where moss takes hold. Poured in the same stone as the driveway or patio, they tie the whole block together.
Every path, built like a driveway
The register of path failures is short and always the same: poured thin, poured on soft ground, no steel. Every path here is poured at 100mm full slab thickness on compacted base with mesh on chairs, per the specification, with falls set so water moves off the path and away from the building line. That is why the rate is close to a driveway rate, and why the path outlasts the fence beside it.
Where they go
Side paths and front paths carry the traffic, garden paths carry the design, and outdoor kitchen and barbecue pads carry the furniture: all the same build, finished in stone chosen from samples on site. For barefoot routes between pool and door, the finer 7mm stones read best; for a front path doing street duty, the same blend as the driveway makes the frontage read as one decision. The colours and stone guide covers the combinations.
Priced honestly, cheapest when paired
$130 to $180 per m² supplied and laid, washed and sealed after cure. On its own a path carries the full mobilisation; poured with a patio or driveway it shares it, and the saving is real. The cost guide publishes every rate, and the calculator prices your metres in seconds.
