Meet the Crew

Real names. Real faces. Real accountability. When you call Slab, you're talking to the people who'll be on your site.


Founder Profile

Marco Vella — Director

Marco started Slab in 2009 with a single tip truck, a plate compactor, and a phone number painted on the tailgate. He was 27, working out of Blacktown, laying residential driveways across the Hills District seven days a week.

Fifteen years later, Slab runs three crews across Greater Sydney, holds a Class A contractor licence, and hasn't missed a promised completion date in four years. The tip truck is still in the yard — Marco won't sell it.

"I started with one truck and the belief that if you show up when you say you will and finish what you started, the work takes care of itself."

Tony Markulic

Asphalt Foreman

Started laying hot-mix at 19, now runs every large-format pour from Penrith to Manly. Reads a drainage grade the way other people read a newspaper.

Bree's eye for pattern alignment and her tolerance for zero mistakes on the edgework is why Slab's interlocking paver jobs look like architecture.

The Legal Shield

Our Warranty

Every guarantee is written in plain language and backed by our contractor's licence. This is a contract, not a promise.

7
YEAR
WARRANTY
Slab Paving Pty Ltd — ABN 47 123 456 789 — Contractor Licence No. 187654C

This warranty document constitutes a binding obligation between Slab Paving Pty Ltd ("the Contractor") and the property owner ("the Client") for all works completed under a signed Slab contract. All warranty periods commence from the date of practical completion as defined in the contract.


01

Slab warrants that all asphalt and paver surfaces will remain free from structural failure, heaving, or base settlement for a period of seven (7) years from the date of practical completion, under normal vehicular and pedestrian loading conditions.

02

Drainage Compliance — 5 Years

All surfaces are designed and constructed to achieve positive drainage at a minimum grade of 1:80 toward nominated outlets. Slab warrants that no surface ponding will occur under rainfall events up to a 1-in-20-year ARI for five (5) years from completion.

03

Edge Containment & Kerb Work — 5 Years

All kerbing, edging, and containment structures are warranted against movement, cracking, or separation from the parent surface for five (5) years, subject to no third-party interference or root intrusion.

04

Paver Pattern & Bedding — 3 Years

Interlocking concrete paver installations are warranted against paver rocking, differential settlement exceeding 5mm over any 1.5m span, or bedding sand displacement for three (3) years from date of completion.

05

Council Compliance Guarantee

Every Slab project is submitted to the relevant local council for approval prior to works commencing. In the event that any council requires remediation works due to non-compliance with approved plans, Slab will undertake those works at no additional cost to the client.


Warranty claims must be submitted in writing within the warranty period. This warranty does not cover damage caused by third parties, tree root intrusion, or loading beyond the specified design capacity.
