Paving in Glenfield.
Glenfield is a settled coastal suburb on the northern side of Geraldton, full of family homes near the beach. The bread-and-butter work here is driveways, courtyards, paths and pool surrounds, all of it built to stand up to the sea breeze and the salt that comes with living this close to the water.
The Glenfield paving story.
Coastal living, salt-safe paving.
Glenfield's appeal is the beach at the end of the street, and that same proximity is what shapes how we pave here. The afternoon sea breeze carries salt onto driveways and courtyards, so the same coastal rules we apply down at Tarcoola Beach apply in Glenfield: stabilised jointing sand that resists wind scour, a properly compacted base, and salt-tolerant pavers. Dense clay brick and sealed limestone are the picks we recommend most for homes here.
Courtyards and the indoor-outdoor life.
A lot of Glenfield homes are built around outdoor living, and we do plenty of rear courtyards and alfrescos here. A brick courtyard in herringbone with a contrasting soldier-course border is a classic Mid West look that suits the older homes, while a pale limestone alfresco lifts a more modern renovation. We always set the falls so water sheds away from the house, which matters on the flatter Glenfield blocks where water has less natural fall to follow.
Driveways and pools.
Driveways and pool surrounds round out the typical Glenfield job. Pools get heavy use through the long Geraldton summer, so the surround needs to be non-slip and cool underfoot, which is exactly where sealed limestone earns its place. For driveways we lay interlocking herringbone on a compacted road base with restrained edges, so they carry the family cars without rutting on the sandy coastal ground.
