Our Story

BUILT ON EUROPEAN CRAFT

Josef learned his trade in Austria in 1974. His European skills in every aspect of asphalt construction are second to none — and he brought every bit of that expertise to the Sunshine Coast when he established Asphalt & Base Construction in 2003.

Alongside his son Archy, Josef built this business on a simple philosophy: do the job properly, charge fairly, and leave the site better than you found it. That reputation has earned them over 5,000 completed driveways on the Sunshine Coast alone. This is a genuine family business — not a franchise, not a call centre. When you call, you speak to Josef or Archy. When they quote, they price it precisely to your project. When the job is done, you get a 12-month workmanship guarantee and a site left spotless.

Based in Eudlo, they service the full Sunshine Coast region and South-East Queensland — local people doing local work, the right way.

We recently had Archy and the crew asphalt a driveway for us. Very good at communicating what was involved, very well priced and great quality work.

Had our driveway completed by Asphalt and Base end of 2024. What an exceptional job Archy and the boys did. Driveway was washing away every year in the wet season — not any more. Couldn't be happier.

Really recommend these guys. Our driveway wasn't the easiest — it was steep and wet — the lads did a great job and we're very pleased with the result.

Our connection with Josef and Archie started back in June 2012. We have found them to be professional, reliable and easy to deal with across many years and many scopes of work. I certainly would recommend Asphalt & Base Construction.

We are still super happy with our driveway that was completed over 2 years ago — we had the team back to complete another job and are so happy again with the service, job and most of all price! We've highly recommended the team to all friends and family and they have also been happy with their results.

Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will my new driveway last?

Depending on the quality and thickness of the road base and existing soil conditions, it should last between 15 to 20 years minimum, and up to 25–40 years with occasional maintenance such as crack sealing.

You can drive over it the following day, being mindful of turning. Further details are provided on the aftercare instructions we leave with you when the job is complete.

Yes, unfortunately they can. This is something we’ll discuss with you during the site visit so we can advise on the best approach for your specific situation.

It depends on the size. Prep work will on average take one day, and asphalt laying takes 1–2 days. Anticipate a minimum of 2 days in total, subject to weather conditions.

There is a 12-month guarantee on all our work. If issues were to surface, they will arise within the first 1–2 months. We stand behind every job we complete.

Occasionally the metal drums on the roller will leave a “white” edging. It is common to see white and rust-coloured stains on freshly sealed asphalt — this comes from mineral salts in water, gravel and dirt. These marks are all temporary and should vanish within the first few months.

Costs vary based on size and preparation required. Asphalt is typically 2–3× cheaper than concrete. Most residential driveways fall between $3,000–$12,000. Contact us for a free site-specific quote — no hidden costs, ever.

Yes. We offer red-brown asphalt — a hot mix formula with a soft, elegant appearance that complements many Queensland homes and acreage properties beautifully. It’s particularly popular in the hinterland areas.

Yes, we service all of South-East Queensland including Gympie, Ipswich, Caboolture, Moreton Bay and surrounds. Based in Eudlo, we’re already well-positioned for the full Sunshine Coast region and surrounding areas.

Absolutely. We hand and machine lay asphalt, which means we can handle tight-access jobs and steep sites that others won’t take on. With 35+ years experience and 5,000+ driveways completed, very little surprises us. Call us and we’ll give you an honest assessment.
