A patio built for living and entertaining
A concrete patio provides a strong, versatile, and long-lasting outdoor space where you can relax, entertain, and make the most of your property. Unlike decking or pavers, a well-constructed concrete patio offers a stable surface that does not shift, rot, or require constant upkeep.
Whether you want a simple seating area, an outdoor dining space, or a larger entertainment zone, a concrete patio can be shaped and finished to suit your lifestyle while adding value and usability to your home.
Quality construction from the ground up
Every concrete patio begins with thorough site preparation to ensure a solid, level foundation. We assess ground conditions, compact the base, and install appropriate reinforcement to reduce the risk of movement or cracking over time.
Once the groundwork is complete, we pour high-quality concrete and shape it to your preferred size and layout. You can choose from a range of finishes, including smooth concrete for a clean modern look, exposed aggregate for added texture and grip, or coloured concrete to complement your outdoor design.

Concrete Patios - FAQ
Will my concrete patio crack over time?
Minor hairline cracks can occur due to natural ground movement and temperature changes, but proper base preparation, reinforcement, and correct curing significantly reduce the risk of noticeable or structural cracking.
How long does installation take?
Most residential concrete patios take two to four days from preparation to completion, including curing time before regular use.
When can I walk on my new patio?
Light foot traffic is usually possible after 24 to 48 hours, but it is best to wait around seven days before placing heavy furniture on the surface.
Do I need council consent for a concrete patio?
In most cases, standard residential patios do not require consent, but requirements can vary depending on size, location, and property zoning.
How much maintenance does a concrete patio need?
Concrete patios are low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and periodic sealing will help protect the surface and maintain its appearance.
What is the best finish for a patio?
This depends on your preferences. Smooth concrete is practical and easy to clean, while exposed aggregate offers better grip and a more decorative appearance.
How do you manage drainage on patios?
We install patios with appropriate fall and drainage to prevent water pooling and reduce the risk of surface or edge damage.
Can you integrate a patio with existing landscaping?
Yes, we can design and install patios that work with your current garden layout, retaining walls, and outdoor features.
