Specialising in Rural Driveways & Site Preparation
In regional areas like Bairnsdale, poorly built driveways can lead to drainage problems, washouts, and vehicle access issues. At DST Machinery & Mechanical, we build rural driveways that last. We assess gradient, soil type, and usage requirements to create driveways that are functional, durable, and safe for everyday use.
We also offer:
