Concreting That Works With Your Space
Concreting isn’t just about pouring and smoothing. It’s about understanding how each surface will be used, how it interacts with the landscape, and what will keep it looking good long term. We consider every detail before the job even begins — from site prep and access to formwork and reinforcement — so nothing’s left to chance.
Whether you’re after a clean broom finish, exposed aggregate, or coloured concrete for extra visual appeal, we’ll help you choose the right solution for your space. Our paving work also covers all styles and sizes, including large format pavers, brick patterns, and feature areas that add style and structure to your garden or entry.
We know time matters, too. That’s why we turn up when we say we will, work efficiently, and leave your site neat and ready to enjoy. If you’re ready for a low-maintenance, long-lasting finish, give us a call on 0408 918 963.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between concreting and paving?
Concreting and paving are both hard surface options used in outdoor areas, but they differ in materials, installation methods and visual finish. Concreting involves pouring a liquid concrete mix into formwork, which is then levelled, finished and cured to form a solid slab. It’s ideal for driveways, patios or pathways where strength, durability and a seamless surface are priorities. Paving, on the other hand, uses pre-cut units like bricks, tiles or stone laid over a compacted base. Pavers offer design flexibility, easy repairs, and a more decorative or modular look. The choice between the two often depends on budget, desired appearance and how the space will be used.
How do I choose the right concrete finish for my outdoor area?
Choosing a concrete finish depends on how the space will be used, the style of your home, and what kind of maintenance you’re comfortable with. For driveways and high-traffic zones, a broom finish offers texture and grip to reduce slipping. Exposed aggregate adds a decorative touch with natural stone showing through the surface, while still providing good durability. Coloured concrete can be used to match landscaping tones or add contrast. Smooth finishes are often best for patios or alfresco areas but may need sealing to avoid slipperiness. Each finish has pros and cons — the key is balancing appearance, safety and function.
What should be done before laying concrete or pavers?
Proper site preparation is essential before laying concrete or pavers to ensure a strong, stable, and long-lasting result. This typically includes clearing vegetation, removing soft topsoil, and grading the area to direct water runoff. A solid base layer is then compacted — usually crushed rock or road base — followed by reinforcing materials for concrete or bedding sand for pavers. Drainage considerations are crucial, especially near homes or retaining walls, to prevent water issues down the track. Skipping or rushing prep work often leads to problems like cracking, shifting, or uneven finishes, so it’s a step worth doing right the first time.
