Concreting in Maitland

Replacing a cracked or ageing driveway is one of the quicker ways to lift the overall look of a property, and it's a job we handle from excavation through to the final finish. Finish options range from a simple broom surface to stencilled, stamped and coloured concrete, giving plenty of scope depending on your budget and style. Where a project also calls for a garage slab or other formwork, we can pour that at the same time, keeping everything under one job and one quote. We pay close attention to compacting the base properly, since a driveway is only as good as the ground it's poured on. Talk to us about finish samples when arranging your quote.

Paths and patios often get less attention than a driveway, but a cracked or uneven surface underfoot is just as much of a hazard. Our finishes include plain, coloured, exposed aggregate and patterned concrete, with every pour graded to shed water properly rather than letting it collect near the house. We build in control joints from the start, giving the concrete a planned place to move as it cures and ages rather than cracking randomly. Clean edge detailing rounds out the finished look, and we're happy to tie new paving into an existing path or patio if you're extending rather than starting fresh. Excavation through to finishing is all handled by the one crew.

An unmanaged slope can slowly erode or shift a yard out of shape, which is where a properly built retaining wall makes a real difference. We construct walls suited to the height and ground conditions of your site, and take on the broader landscaping that usually goes with them, including levelling and turfing. Larger jobs are often quicker with a bobcat on site, which we can bring in for excavation, levelling or clearing material, cutting down significantly on manual labour. Drainage is always factored into wall design, since trapped water behind a wall is one of the most common causes of long-term failure. If your project covers more than just the wall itself, we're happy to quote the whole job together.
