Decograde Concrete Resurfacing resurfaces driveways in Revesby. Tyres, oil and weather wear it down, and it is usually the first slab to look tired. Call (02) 9090 4131 and we will tell you what yours needs.
Driveways on Revesby’s older blocks
Revesby’s housing began as post-war fibro bungalows, according to the suburb’s Wikipedia entry, so a driveway on a block of that age has usually been patched at least once. Older drives often show cracked joints, polished tyre tracks and a patchy repaired surface.
Oil, tyre polish and sun fade
Oil soaks in and blocks a new layer, so it is lifted first with a degreaser. Tyre-polished strips, old sealer and flaking paint come off next. Sun fades the colour from the top down, and by the time a drive looks bad, the top few millimetres have worn out.
Unsure why your drive looks the way it does? Photos of the worst spots help, and so does a call on (02) 9090 4131.
The strip between your gate and the kerb
The section from your boundary to the kerb is public land. Canterbury-Bankstown Council’s vehicular footway crossing page says an application is needed to build the driveway outside the lot, with the owner’s consent. Resurfacing is aimed at your side of the line, and we show you where that is.
Still weighing your options? Call (02) 9090 4131 for a straight answer.
Narrow strips and tight turns
A long narrow drive wears in two tracks. Short drives with a sharp turn wear where the wheels pivot. We look at both patterns and choose a finish and preparation to suit, and we tell you if one area needs extra repair before coating.
Preparing the surface
We pressure clean, degrease, strip old coating, grind or etch, then repair cracks, joints and chipped edges. The layer goes on over a clean, sound base. Every one of those steps appears in the estimate so you can compare it with any other quote.
Finish, colour and grip
A mid-tone textured surface hides tyre marks and gives grip. Pale smooth finishes show every mark. We show samples, and the estimate names the sealer so you know what protects the surface.

Why we check water at the garage door
A drive that slopes toward the garage or holds water at the door wears any finish out early. We watch where water runs and tell you if drainage needs attention before resurfacing.
See the driveway resurfacing page, the driveway cost guide and the post on cracked driveways.
Council works near your driveway
If Council is working on the footpath, kerb or road outside your home, the crossing and the kerb levels can change. Canterbury-Bankstown’s Polo Street project in Revesby is one example of works that touch the street edge. We check the levels at your boundary before we plan a resurfacing job, so the finished drive meets the crossing cleanly.

How long a drive stays good after resurfacing
Life depends on the slab beneath, the preparation, the product, and how the drive is driven on and washed. We will not quote you a number of years. What we give you is the manufacturer’s own statement for the system we recommend and a sense of when the first reseal will be needed.
Answers to common questions
Can a long single-strip driveway be resurfaced in one go?
Usually yes, if the weather allows. We plan the work in sections along the length, with a start and finish that avoid visible joins.
What about oil stains that have been there for years?
Old oil goes deep. We treat it, test the surface and tell you honestly if it will affect the bond, and what we would do about it.
Do I need to move my cars?
Yes, for the work and the cure. We agree where they can go and when they can return, and we put the times in writing.
Can you fix the cracked joints?
Yes. Cracked joints are cleared, repaired and cut again through the new layer so the slab can still move.
