Tired of looking at a worn down concrete driveway? With over half of all homes in Reservoir being separate houses, many dating back to the post-war boom [Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021 Census], countless homeowners face the same challenge: original concrete surfaces that have reached the end of their life.
Here’s the good news. At Trulook Concrete Construction, we offer specialised resin bound surfacing for Reservoir homes, businesses, and worksites. As a family-owned business, we bring over 35 years of experience to every project, and take pride in offering great value for money.
Our service is grounded in an understanding of what works for each situation, as well as the expertise gained from years of training and in-field experience.
As certified resin bound installers and proud members of MBAV (Master Builders Association of Victoria), we combine industry-leading techniques with deep local knowledge. Our permeable surfaces answer Darebin Council’s push for better stormwater management perfectly, allowing rainwater to drain naturally and preventing the pooling issues that plague older driveways.
Our resin bound surfacing comes in an array of colours and aggregate blends, allowing you to:
Create contemporary charcoal surfaces for modern townhouses
Resin bound delivers a clean, architectural look with a wide range of natural stone colours and blends to match your home or commercial property.
The permeable structure allows water to drain through the surface, reducing puddles and surface runoff.
The textured aggregate finish provides natural grip, making it suitable for driveways, paths and pool surrounds.
We use UV stable resin systems that resist yellowing and colour fade under Melbourne sun exposure.
No loose stones, minimal weed growth, and easy cleaning compared to traditional paving or gravel.
When installed on a structurally sound base, resin bound surfacing performs well under foot and vehicle traffic.
Working throughout Reservoir and surrounding suburbs, we’ve built our reputation on delivering lasting services where others provide temporary fixes. Our owner, Jason, brings over 15 years of hands-on experience to every project, supported by our talented team dedicated to quality workmanship.

With proper installation adapted to reactive clay soil, resin bound surfaces typically last 15-25 years. Our specialised ground preparation techniques achieve maximum longevity by allowing the surface to flex with ground movement rather than cracking like traditional concrete.
In many cases, yes. We assess each situation individually, considering the existing surface condition and drainage requirements. Our team provides honest recommendations based on what will deliver the best long-term results for your property.
One of the major advantages is minimal maintenance. Unlike concrete that requires regular sealing and crack repairs, resin bound surfaces need only occasional cleaning with a pressure washer to maintain their appearance. The permeable nature also prevents moss and algae growth common on traditional surfaces.
