Concrete services for your home & outdoor spaces
What we deliver
Concrete driveways provide a durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing entrance to your home. They are designed to withstand heavy loads and variable weather conditions, making them a practical choice for any residence.
How it works
The installation process involves site preparation, setting forms, pouring high-quality concrete, and finishing the surface with the desired texture and color.
Benefits
Concrete driveways offer exceptional durability, low maintenance, and can significantly enhance curb appeal. They can last for decades with proper care, making them a cost-effective investment for homeowners.
Options
Customers can choose from a variety of finishes, including exposed aggregate, coloured concrete to complement their home’s exterior and landscape design.
What we deliver
Concrete footpaths provide a safe and stable walkway around or leading to your home as well as adding to the overall aesthetics of your property.
How it works
Similar to driveways, the process includes preparation, pouring, and finishing. However, footpaths often incorporate curves and require more precise formwork to navigate landscaping features.
Benefits
They are usually slip-resistant and durable and can be customised to match the aesthetic of your home. Concrete footpaths enhance accessibility and mobility around your property.
Options
A wide range of texturing and colouring options are available, including exposed aggregate and decorative borders, to make the pathways unique and visually appealing.
What we deliver
Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish that reveals the aggregates (such as sand, pebbles, and stones) in the concrete, offering a tactile and visually attractive surface.
How it works
After pouring the concrete, the top layer is washed away to expose the aggregate beneath. This technique creates a highly textured surface that is both beautiful and slip-resistant.
Benefits
Exposed aggregate provides a durable, non-slip surface for driveways, footpaths, and patios. It’s highly customisable, with a range of aggregate types and colours to choose from, making each project unique.
Options
Clients can select the type of aggregate, the degree of exposure, and the colour of the concrete to match their design vision perfectly.
What we deliver
Retaining walls are structured walls built to retain soil on one side, preventing erosion and supporting vertical or near-vertical grade changes.
How it works
Constructed from concrete blocks or poured concrete, retaining walls are engineered to withstand lateral pressure from soil. They can be integrated into landscaping for aesthetic as well as functional purposes.
Benefits
Besides their practical role in preventing soil erosion and managing water runoff, retaining walls can create usable flat areas on sloped land, increasing your property’s usable space.
Options
Homeowners can choose from various finishes and designs, from natural-looking textured blocks to coloured concrete, to enhance the landscape’s visual appeal.
What we deliver
Coloured concrete allows for adding pigments to concrete, offering a wide range of hues and tones that enhance the visual appeal of driveways, footpaths, and patios.
How it works
The colour is either mixed into the concrete before pouring or applied to the surface after the concrete has been laid. This process ensures a consistent colour throughout the concrete, providing a uniform look.
Benefits
Coloured concrete adds aesthetic value to your property, allowing for creative design and customisation. It’s also durable and capable of withstanding various weather conditions without fading.
Options
There is an extensive palette of colours to choose from, enabling homeowners to match their concrete surfaces with their homes’ architectural style or the natural landscape.
What we deliver
Garage driveways are designed to provide a durable and functional approach to your garage, accommodating frequent vehicle traffic and heavy loads.
How it works
These driveways are constructed with a focus on durability and load-bearing capacity, incorporating reinforced concrete and proper drainage to ensure longevity and functionality.
Benefits
Garage driveways made from concrete are long-lasting, require minimal maintenance, and can significantly improve the accessibility and curb appeal of your home.
Options
Homeowners can opt for various finishes, including smooth and broom-finished and can also choose from coloured or exposed aggregate concrete to personalise their driveway.
What we deliver
Concrete pool areas encompass the surrounding surfaces of a pool, designed for safety, durability, and aesthetics, providing a non-slip and attractive decking option.
How it works
The installation involves preparing the area around the pool, pouring concrete, and finishing it with a texture that ensures it is slip-resistant and visually appealing.
Benefits
Concrete pool decks are heat resistant and slip-resistant and can be customised to fit any pool shape or design aesthetic. They are also durable and easy to maintain.
Options
Options for concrete pool areas include exposed aggregate and coloured concrete allowing for a high degree of customisation to match the pool and surrounding landscape.
What we deliver
Concrete seating areas are custom-designed spaces that provide durable and stylish outdoor seating options, integrating seamlessly with your garden or patio.
How it works
These areas are crafted by pouring concrete into predefined shapes and designs, often incorporating built-in seating or platforms that are both functional and decorative.
Benefits
Concrete seating areas offer a permanent, low-maintenance solution for outdoor entertainment spaces. They can withstand the elements and provide a unique aesthetic to any outdoor location.
Options
Homeowners can choose from various designs, textures, and colours, including integrating coloured concrete or exposed aggregate to create a standout feature in their outdoor living spaces.

The importance of preparation in residential concrete projects
Every successful concrete project begins long before the concrete is poured. The foundation of any durable and aesthetically pleasing concrete surface lies in detailed preparation. Here’s how we ensure your project is set on solid ground:
Understanding Your Site
1
Site assessment
Our first step is conducting a thorough site assessment. This involves evaluating the soil condition, drainage and existing structures or obstacles. Understanding the site’s specifics allows us to plan effectively for excavation, grading, and any necessary drainage solutions.
2
Excavation and grading
Depending on the project scope, excavation may be required to remove unsuitable soil or existing concrete. Grading follows to ensure the site is level and has the proper slope for water runoff. Our team uses precision equipment and techniques to prepare your site accurately, preventing future issues like water pooling or foundation instability.
Managing Underground Utilities
3
Locating utilities
Before any digging begins, we identify and mark all underground utilities. This crucial step prevents damage to water, gas, electric, and sewer lines, ensuring the safety of our team and protecting your property from costly repairs.
4
Checking pipework
In projects requiring new or modified pipework, our expertise in planning and installation ensures that all plumbing needs are met with precision. Whether it’s drainage for your new driveway or water lines for a pool, we handle every detail carefully.
Foundation Work
5
Creating a solid foundation
The foundation of your concrete surface is critical. We prepare the base material, compacting it to the proper density to support your concrete. This process includes adding a sub-base material layer, such as crushed stone, to enhance stability and drainage.
6
Reinforcement
To further ensure the longevity and durability of your concrete, we incorporate reinforcement solutions like steel rebar or wire mesh. This step is vital for load-bearing surfaces or areas subject to heavy traffic, providing additional strength and reducing the risk of cracks.
Attention to Detail
7
Formwork
With the foundation set, we construct formwork to shape the concrete. Our formwork is designed for functionality and to achieve the desired aesthetic, whether it’s a straightforward slab or a complex shape for decorative purposes.
8
Quality control
Throughout the preparation phase, we maintain stringent quality control measures. This includes double-checking measurements, ensuring materials meet our high standards, and continuously assessing safety protocols.
Our simple step-by-step guide from start to finish
