140 suburbs across five regions, all within reach of our Landsdale base.

Based in Landsdale, working across five regions

IBP Paving is a service area business based in Landsdale in the City of Wanneroo. No showroom; quotes are done on site. A Landsdale paving contractor has a natural radius, and ours runs in three bands. Core work is within about 15 km in a straight line: Landsdale, Darch (1.9 km), Madeley, Girrawheen and Ballajura close in, out to Wanneroo (8.9 km), Joondalup (11.7 km), Ellenbrook (12.5 km) and Banksia Grove (13.5 km), plus Dianella and Morley. We work regularly to about 25 km, which takes in the coast from Sorrento (10.7 km) to Mindarie (20 km), Clarkson (18.9 km) and Butler (23.8 km), the inner north from Balga and Mirrabooka (6.2 km) to Osborne Park and Doubleview (12.7 km), and the Swan Valley edge at Henley Brook, West Swan and Caversham. Suburbs over 13 km that sit off those runs are taken on by arrangement, usually for larger jobs: the inner city fringe from Mount Lawley (13.5 km) to Floreat (16.1 km), Guildford (14.2 km), Midland (16.4 km) and the hills out to Forrestfield (24.3 km), the far north coast at Quinns Rocks (22 km), Alkimos (29 km), Yanchep (36 km) and Two Rocks (43.6 km), and the south from Victoria Park (18.6 km) to Applecross (23.1 km) and Canning Vale (30.8 km).

That covers 14 councils: the City of Wanneroo, City of Joondalup, City of Swan, City of Stirling, City of Bayswater, City of Vincent, Town of Cambridge, Town of Bassendean, City of Kalamunda, Shire of Mundaring, Town of Victoria Park, City of South Perth, City of Melville and City of Canning. Their soakwell, crossover and verge rules differ, so we build to the rules of the council your street is in. Not sure your street is in range? Call 0449 020 336.

Centred on Landsdale.

Northern corridor

The City of Wanneroo, City of Joondalup and the western City of Swan are our home turf. The Wanneroo corridor sits on pale grey Bassendean sand, which the City of Wanneroo lists by name for Wanneroo, Tapping, Ashby and Wangara. It drains fast, so deep soakwells work well and brick paving is laid on compacted sand, though much of Koondoola was a landfill before the 1970s, so fill can turn up. Nearer the coast, Greenwood, Kingsley, Woodvale, Duncraig, Joondalup, Padbury and Currambine sit on yellow Spearwood sand over Tamala Limestone, where excavation can hit rock: a Woodvale backyard sinkhole once swallowed a swimming pool and part of Duncraig was a sand and limestone lease. Craigie, Beldon, Heathridge and Kinross are most likely the same ground. Around Brabham, Dayton and eastern Aveley the ground gets heavier toward the Swan Valley, and Henley Brook sits on the Swan River flood plain, so soakwells may need a drainage plan.

The City of Wanneroo information sheet sets soakwell setbacks at no less than the width of the soakwell from buildings and boundaries. The City of Joondalup calls keeping runoff on the lot a statutory obligation and asks for one downpipe per roughly 15 square metres of roof. The City of Swan's engineering guidelines put soakwells no closer than 1.8 m to a footing or boundary, require trafficable lids under paved areas, and call for subsoil drains where groundwater is within 1.2 m of lot level.

Landsdale, Darch and Madeley were rural and market garden land until the late 1990s, so their 2000s driveways are reaching first re-lay age. Greenwood and Duncraig are 1970s stock due for full replacement, as are Warwick and the Whitfords suburbs of Craigie and Beldon. Ellenbrook, Aveley, Brabham and Banksia Grove are new build, with narrow lot driveways and builder installed soakwells, while The Vines and Henley Brook add acreage lots with long driveways.

Inner north

Morley, Noranda, Embleton, Bedford, Bayswater and Maylands are in the City of Bayswater; Dianella, Balga, Balcatta and most of the rest, from Mirrabooka to Mount Lawley and Churchlands, are in the City of Stirling; Mount Hawthorn, North Perth, Leederville and Highgate are in the City of Vincent; and Wembley, West Leederville and Floreat are in the Town of Cambridge. Embleton, Bedford and Bayswater sit on the Bassendean Dunes with groundwater about 10 m down, so soakwells drain well, while Hamersley and Wembley are sand over Tamala Limestone. Balcatta is Spearwood sand with swamp deposits, named for Careniup Swamp, and low ground near the old market gardens can hold water. Osborne Park has peaty soil from the old swamps between Lake Monger and Herdsman Lake, and the peat under Gwelup's The Willows Estate is an acid sulphate soil area, so soakwells there may need geotechnical advice.

Morley and Balga were built out in the 1960s and Hamersley from 1968 to 1981, Dianella runs from modest post war homes to large two storey rebuilds, and Mount Lawley and Inglewood are Federation and bungalow country. Most work here is full driveway replacement and re-paving after infill, including strata and unit sites.

The City of Bayswater sizes combined soakwell volume at the impervious area times 0.0125, so 240 square metres needs 3 cubic metres. The City of Stirling requires all rainfall to be contained on site, sizes at the impervious area times 0.015, sets a 1 m setback from structures and boundaries, allows nothing smaller than 900 mm by 600 mm, and requires trafficable soakwells under driveways. The City of Vincent requires residential stormwater to be held on site for at least a 1 in 20 year, one hour storm. The Town of Cambridge approves every new or rebuilt crossover; we found no published Cambridge soakwell sizing rule, so drainage is confirmed with the Town.

Coastal north

Sorrento, Marmion, Hillarys, Kallaroo, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Iluka and Burns Beach are in the City of Joondalup; Watermans Bay, North Beach, Trigg, Karrinyup, Scarborough and Wembley Downs in the City of Stirling; City Beach in the Town of Cambridge; and Mindarie up to Two Rocks in the City of Wanneroo. White Quindalup shell sand sits at the foreshore over Spearwood sand and Tamala Limestone inland, and the City of Wanneroo lists Quinns Rocks and Two Rocks on the Quindalup dunes by name. Mindarie spans both dune systems and limestone was quarried there from the early 1900s, so rock on excavation is likely, and limestone outcrops slowed early building in Wembley Downs. Karrinyup's lake and former Careniup Swamp mean lake side lots can have shallow groundwater.

The Perth Groundwater Atlas puts a saltwater wedge within about 250 m of the ocean, and within roughly 1 to 2 km of the coast salt laden wind drives efflorescence and surface weathering, so we recommend dense or sealed pavers, sand swept rather than mortared joints where the design allows, and sealing once the pavers have weathered in. Cream limestone suits the coast. Sorrento, Mullaloo and Ocean Reef (1950s to 1980s) are at full replacement age, as are Watermans Bay and North Beach, nearly all built by 1961. Hillarys is mid life with pool surround work, Scarborough is strata redevelopment, City Beach dates from the 1950s and 60s, and Jindalee and Eglinton are new estates. Joondalup, Stirling and Wanneroo soakwell rules apply as above; City Beach follows the Town of Cambridge.

Eastern and hills

The City of Swan covers Guildford, Midland and the valley and foothill suburbs out to Swan View and Jane Brook; the Town of Bassendean covers Eden Hill, Bassendean and Ashfield; the City of Kalamunda covers High Wycombe to Forrestfield; and the Shire of Mundaring covers Greenmount, Helena Valley and Darlington. The Perth Groundwater Atlas describes the north eastern corridor as Guildford Clay with limited groundwater yield and staining issues, and Midland sits on Guildford Formation clay and Helena River alluvium. Guildford is the type area for that poorly drained sandy clay, and Bassendean has only a thin veneer of sand over it. Clay infiltrates poorly, so soakwells need a geotechnical check and drainage often goes to the street instead. Up the Darling Scarp, Greenmount had a bluestone quarry from the 1870s and Gooseberry Hill is lateritic duricrust, so expect rock.

City of Swan guidelines apply, including that no stormwater may discharge over the crossover or verge onto the road, and Guildford area crossovers must be red asphalt, red concrete or red brick paving. The Town of Bassendean keeps stormwater on site unless a geotechnical investigation shows the ground is unsuitable. The City of Kalamunda uses on site retention in the sandy foothills of Forrestfield, High Wycombe and Wattle Grove and wants 500 mm clearance above maximum groundwater at the soakwell base. We found no Shire of Mundaring soakwell rule; its brick paved crossovers are solid clay bricks at least 60 mm thick in herringbone.

An 1890s townsite with heritage streets and redeveloped railway workshops, Midland mixes character homes, commercial hardstand and new infill. Guildford has over 200 places on the State Register of Heritage Places, and Herne Hill and Middle Swan are Swan Valley wine country.

Southern

The south is the far end of our range, 18.6 to 30.8 km away, so every suburb here is taken on by arrangement for larger jobs. Victoria Park and East Victoria Park are in the Town of Victoria Park, South Perth and Como in the City of South Perth, Applecross, Booragoon and Bull Creek in the City of Melville, and Shelley, Riverton, Rossmoyne, Willetton and Canning Vale in the City of Canning. Canning Vale sits on Bassendean sand on the Jandakot Mound, described as swampy terrain with abundant permanent fresh water, so low lots have a shallow water table and the soakwell base must sit above groundwater. Willetton has shallow seasonal swamps, and Canning River foreshore lots in Shelley, Riverton and Rossmoyne may have shallower groundwater.

The City of Canning requires an approved stormwater drainage plan for all developments, says most lots suit soakwells, and where an overland flow path exists sizes storage at 0.0150 times the impervious area for a 1 in 20 year event. The Town of Victoria Park keeps all stormwater on site for four units or fewer, also at 0.0150 times the impervious area, with permeable pavers counted as impervious. The City of South Perth prefers soakwells in its Como and South Perth precincts but bars them in the Mill Point and western foreshore precincts unless the base sits at least 0.5 m above the annual maximum groundwater level. None of these councils has a page of its own yet; see our general council soakwell requirements.

Rural until 1994 and built out through the 2000s, the early Canning Vale stages are at 25 to 30 year re-lay age while later stages are still new build. Victoria Park dates from the 1890s gold rush and Willetton from the early 1970s.

Frequently asked questions

Which Perth suburbs does IBP Paving service?

We are based in Landsdale and cover 140 suburbs across 14 councils, grouped into five regions: the northern corridor, the coast, the inner north, the eastern suburbs and hills, and south of the river. Most of our work is within about 15 km of Landsdale, from Darch and Madeley out to Joondalup, Ellenbrook and Banksia Grove, and across to Dianella and Morley. The full list with local notes is on this page.

Do you travel to outer suburbs like Yanchep, the hills or south of the river?

Yes, by arrangement. Suburbs more than about 13 km from our base, such as Yanchep (36 km), Two Rocks (44 km), Darlington (23 km), Applecross (23 km) and Canning Vale (31 km) in a straight line, are taken on case by case. Send us the suburb, the size of the area and a few photos and we will tell you straight away whether it suits.

Do soakwell rules change from council to council?

Yes. Every council in our area requires stormwater to stay on the lot, but the sizing and setback rules differ. The City of Stirling sizes soakwells at 15 litres per square metre of hard surface with a 1 m setback, the City of Bayswater uses 12.5 litres per square metre, and the City of Wanneroo sets the setback at no less than the soakwell's own width from buildings and boundaries. We install to the rule for your council and explain the differences on our council soakwell requirements page.

Does paving near the coast need different materials?

It helps. Within roughly 1 to 2 km of the ocean, salt carried on the wind drives white efflorescence and surface weathering on pavers, so in suburbs like Hillarys, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef, Scarborough and Mindarie we recommend dense or sealed pavers, sand swept joints where the design allows, and sealing after the pavers have weathered in. Coastal limestone can also sit close to the surface, which affects excavation for soakwells.

My suburb is not on the list. Can you still help?

Probably. Every suburb on the list has its own page, and suburbs between them are covered by the nearest one. If you are inside the area shown on our map the quote process is the same; if not, call 0449 020 336 and we will tell you on the phone.

Idris and his team are extremely hardworking people, nothing is too hard, everything is done with smiles and politeness. Approx, 200 square metres of paving with 300x300mm x 60mm thick, heavy pavers, took 2days with a team of 5. They were hurting after the 1st day but they were back the next day to finish. Looks amazing. The bobcat team that did the earthworks were precise and efficient, and came back when the jobs were done to clean up the debris. We had the area outside the laundry done and a strip along back of house (for dog to stay dry when raining), about a week & 1/2 later, this area had to be done by hand as the bobcat would not fit. The smiles from the team were back. Will extend the paving outside the laundry at a later date. Thank you Idris & teams for your professionalism, friendliness, great pricing & for being beautiful humans. Highly recommend IBP Paving for all paving jobs.

We decided to have our front courtyard entrance paved as the garden was becoming to much to maintain … we phoned around to try and get a paving service to come and give us a quote … some didn’t turn up others didn’t return calls , as luck would have it a local trade directory was delivered and we saw Idris’s advert … within 24 hours he was at our place and gave us a quote that we accepted … what impressed us was his politeness , his knowledge , and advice … he and his team arrived two days later and started the job … what can I say ? We are more than happy to with the result … it’s better than we imagined it would be … they provided a respectful , prompt , professional and well executed service at a very good rate … would I recommend him ?… most definitely yes! … Thank you Idris .
