What changes the price on your driveway
The ranges above are the starting point. These factors move a quote up or down within, or sometimes outside, those bands.

- Finish, a penetrating seal costs less than a wet-look or high-build decorative coat.
- Salt exposure, a beachfront Terrigal driveway needs a marine-grade sealer and more frequent recoats.
- Condition, a stained, mossy or cracked driveway needs more prep before it can be sealed.
- Slope, a steep driveway usually needs an anti-slip additive for safety.
Red flags, what to watch for in quotes
We get called to fix these every week. If a quote you have received has one of these, ask before signing.
- A sealer rate with prep, cleaning and moss treatment quoted separately, the prep is most of the cost.
- A budget solvent acrylic on a beachfront driveway, it will fail within a season in salt air.
- A glossy wet-look seal on a sloped driveway with no slip additive, dangerous in the wet.
- Sealing over a damp slab to hit a deadline, the coat blushes white and peels.
- A resurfacing overlay quoted on a heaved or drummy slab that should be replaced.
