Why Choose Concrete?
Concrete remains one of the most popular materials for driveways, building foundations, floors and outdoor areas because it combines strength, versatility and relatively low ongoing maintenance.
When properly designed and installed, concrete can provide a long-lasting surface capable of handling everyday use, vehicles and changing weather conditions.
Concrete can also be customised considerably depending on the project.
Different concrete mixes, reinforcing methods, surface finishes, colours and exposed aggregate options allow the finished result to be tailored to both practical requirements and the appearance of the property.

Concrete Finishes & Options
The finish you choose can have a significant impact on both the appearance and practicality of your concrete.
Concrete is commonly used for:
- Driveways and vehicle areas
- Patios and outdoor living spaces
- Footpaths and garden paths
- Garage and shed floors
- House and building foundations
- Concrete floors and slabs
- Pool surrounds
- Commercial yards and access areas
- Retaining walls and landscaping projects
Standard Concrete
Standard finished concrete provides a simple, practical and cost-effective surface suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Broom Finish Concrete
A broom finish creates a lightly textured surface by drawing a broom across the concrete before it fully hardens. The additional texture can make it particularly useful for paths, driveways and outdoor areas.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate reveals the decorative stones within the concrete mix, creating a textured and visually distinctive surface.
It is particularly popular for concrete driveways, paths, patios and pool surrounds.
Coloured Concrete
Pigments can be incorporated into concrete to provide a range of colours and tones, allowing the finished surface to better complement surrounding buildings and landscaping.
Decorative Concrete
Decorative techniques can be used to create concrete surfaces with additional colour, texture or visual detail.
The most suitable finish will depend on where the concrete is being installed, how the area will be used and the appearance you want to achieve.
Residential Concrete Services
Concrete plays a major role in residential properties, from the foundations underneath a home to the driveway leading up to it.
Whether you’re building, renovating or improving your outdoor areas, concrete can provide practical solutions throughout the property.
Residential concreting projects can include:
- New concrete driveways
- Driveway extensions
- Replacement driveways
- Concrete patios
- Paths and pathways
- Garage floors
- Shed slabs
- House foundations
- Concrete steps
- Pool surrounds
- Retaining walls
- Outdoor entertaining areas

Small differences in site preparation, drainage, reinforcing, concrete thickness and finishing can have a major impact on the finished project, so it is important that the requirements of each job are considered properly.

Concrete is also widely used throughout commercial, industrial and development projects.
Commercial concrete requirements can vary considerably depending on vehicle loads, foot traffic, equipment and the intended use of the site.
Projects may include:
- Commercial concrete slabs
- Warehouse and workshop floors
- Concrete yards
- Vehicle access areas
- Car parks
- Loading areas
- Footpaths
- Building foundations

Builders, developers, property managers and business owners can request a quote based on the specific requirements of their project.
What Is Involved in a Concrete Project?
Every concreting job is different, but most projects follow several key stages.
1. Planning & Quote
The first step is understanding what you want to achieve, the approximate area involved, access to the site and the type of concrete or finish required.
This information helps determine the scope of the project and provides the basis for your quote.
2. Site Preparation
Good preparation is one of the most important parts of concreting.
Depending on the project, this may involve excavation, removing existing concrete, levelling the area, installing base material and compacting the ground.
3. Boxing & Reinforcement
Formwork or boxing is installed to create the required shape and levels.
Reinforcing steel or mesh may also be used depending on the type of concrete project and its structural requirements.
4. Concrete Placement
Concrete is delivered and placed into the prepared area before being levelled and worked into position.
5. Finishing
The surface is finished according to the required result.
This might include a smooth finish, broom finish, exposed aggregate or another decorative treatment.
6. Curing
Fresh concrete requires time to gain strength.
Correct curing and allowing sufficient time before placing heavy loads on the surface are important parts of achieving a durable result.
New Concrete or Concrete Replacement?
Not every concrete project starts with an empty site.
Older driveways, patios and paths can eventually become cracked, uneven, worn or unsuitable for the property’s changing needs.
In some situations, minor concrete damage can be repaired.
In others, removing the existing concrete and replacing it may provide a better long-term result.
Replacement may be worth considering when:
- There is widespread cracking
- Sections of concrete have sunk or moved
- Drainage is causing problems
- The existing concrete is badly worn
- The layout needs to change
- A driveway or patio needs extending
- The existing surface no longer suits the property
The right option depends on the condition of the existing concrete and what you want to achieve.
How Much Does Concrete Work Cost?
The cost of concrete work can vary significantly from project to project.
There is no single square-metre price that accurately applies to every concreting job because the final cost depends on more than just the amount of concrete required.
Factors that can influence pricing include:
- Size of the area
- Concrete thickness
- Site access
- Excavation requirements
- Ground conditions
- Base preparation
- Reinforcing requirements
- Drainage
- Concrete finish
- Exposed aggregate or decorative options
- Removal of existing concrete
- Complexity of the layout
- Location of the project
A straightforward concrete slab on a prepared site can be quite different from a driveway requiring excavation, drainage, reinforcement and removal of existing concrete.
The best way to establish the likely cost is to request a quote based on your actual project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a concrete contractor do?
A concrete contractor carries out the preparation, installation and finishing involved in concrete construction.
Depending on the project, this can include excavation, base preparation, boxing, reinforcement, concrete placement, finishing and curing.
Concrete contractors commonly work on driveways, patios, paths, foundations, floors and concrete slabs.
What types of concrete work can I get a quote for?
You can request quotes for a wide range of residential and commercial concrete projects including driveways, patios, paths, foundations, slabs, garage floors, shed slabs, pool surrounds, retaining walls, decorative concrete and commercial concreting.
How much does concreting cost in New Zealand?
Concrete pricing depends on the specific job.
The size of the project, concrete thickness, site access, excavation, base preparation, reinforcing, drainage, concrete finish and whether existing concrete needs removing can all affect the final price.
Requesting a quote for your particular project will provide a much more useful indication than relying on a generic square-metre rate.
Is concrete suitable for driveways?
What is exposed aggregate concrete?
Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish where the upper surface of the concrete is treated to expose some of the stone aggregate within the mix.
This creates a textured appearance and is commonly used for driveways, patios, paths and pool surrounds.
How long does concrete take to dry?
Can damaged concrete be repaired?
Some cracked or damaged concrete can be repaired, although repair isn’t always the best solution.
If the concrete has widespread cracking, significant movement, poor drainage or substantial deterioration, replacement may provide a better long-term result.
Can an existing concrete driveway be replaced?
What concrete finish should I choose?
That depends on how the area will be used and the appearance you prefer.
Standard or broom-finished concrete provides a practical option, while exposed aggregate, coloured and decorative concrete can provide additional texture and visual interest.
Do concrete slabs need reinforcing?
Do you provide residential and commercial concrete services?
