LOCAL CONTEXT
Asphalt work in Mowbray
Mowbray is mixed-use. Light industrial along Invermay Road, working-class residential further south. That mix means we see both standard residential driveways and small commercial carparks for businesses on the same callout.
Older Mowbray streets have concrete kerbs from the 1960s with chamfered edges (not the modern square-cut profile). Crossover details have to be designed to match the existing kerb profile, which most contractors get wrong on the first try.
A lot of Mowbray driveways carry tradie utes and work vans, which means the base depth needs to be planned for ute axle loads (about 1 tonne per axle) rather than just passenger cars (700kg). Worth a slightly deeper base on these jobs.
MOWBRAY FAQ
Questions from Mowbray customers
Do you do small commercial carparks in Mowbray?+
Yes. We've done multiple small-commercial carparks along the Invermay Road corridor — cafes, mechanical workshops, light industrial sites. Typically weekend pours so we don't disrupt trading days.
Why does my driveway need to match the old kerb profile?+
Mowbray's 1960s kerbs have a chamfered edge that's about 50mm sloped. New asphalt laid flush to a chamfered kerb creates a tiny but persistent puddle line. We hand-finish the crossover edge to match the kerb profile so water sheets away cleanly.
I park work utes on my driveway, anything different?+
Worth going to 175mm compacted road-base instead of the residential standard 150mm. Adds about $300-500 to a typical driveway and you'll never crack the asphalt under axle loads. Cheap insurance.
Can you do weekend pours for businesses?+
Yes, no surcharge for Saturday. Sunday is plant-availability dependent (hot-mix plants aren't open every Sunday in Northern Tas) so it's case-by-case.
