Concreting in Atherton
Our concreting services in Atherton are focused on creating strong, lasting surfaces for everyday use. Whether it’s a new driveway, a patio slab or a network of garden paths, we bring the same care and consistency to every job. Atherton’s changing weather conditions and varied terrain require the right preparation, and we tailor each project accordingly. We handle everything from site setup and reinforcement to clean finishing, ensuring the result is smooth, level and long-lasting. Our concreting options suit a wide range of residential needs, from shed floors to footpaths and outdoor areas. We use durable materials and reliable methods to ensure every pour meets a high standard. With decades of experience, we provide concreting that not only looks good but performs well over time.
Decorative Concrete in Atherton
Decorative concrete is a popular choice in Atherton for creating low-maintenance outdoor spaces with a polished look. We offer a wide selection of finishes including exposed aggregate, stencilled designs, and coloured concrete that complement both modern and classic home styles. These finishes are ideal for patios, driveways, pool surrounds and other open areas that see regular use. We pay close attention to preparation and application to ensure a consistent, long-lasting result. Decorative concrete is sealed to protect against staining, UV damage and moisture — helping it stay looking great despite Atherton’s variable conditions. Whether you're updating existing surfaces or starting fresh, decorative concrete offers the durability of traditional concrete with added visual appeal and style, perfect for high-traffic areas and feature spaces.
Concrete & Floor Levelling in Atherton
Uneven surfaces are a common issue in residential areas, especially where weather and soil movement are factors. Our floor and concrete levelling services in Atherton are designed to fix sloping or sunken areas and prepare sites for new concrete work. We level everything from driveways and walkways to patios and under-slab areas using trusted techniques and high-quality materials. Whether the problem is poor drainage, subsidence or surface wear, we take the time to assess and correct it. Atherton’s mix of older homes and sloping blocks often requires precision levelling for a safe, stable result. Our work improves surface durability, appearance and overall functionality. We deliver a clean, even finish ready for the next stage — whether that’s a new surface, flooring installation or outdoor feature.
Concrete Formwork in Atherton
We provide professional concrete formwork services in Atherton, ensuring every slab, footing or path is properly shaped, supported and ready for pouring. Our formwork is built to match your site layout and the specific dimensions of the project, with a focus on strength, accuracy and consistency. Using reliable materials and careful bracing, we create clean lines, even depths and the correct fall for drainage. Atherton’s sloped sites and changing weather make it essential to get the base work right — and we do just that. From small patio edges to large slab boundaries, our formwork is neat, secure and built to handle the pour with no surprises. Every form is double-checked for stability before the concrete is placed, ensuring a professional result from the start.
Concrete Restoration & Repair in Atherton
If your concrete is showing signs of wear, cracking or discolouration, restoration may be all you need to bring it back to life. We offer concrete repair services across Atherton, fixing damage from age, movement and weather exposure. Whether it's a chipped path, a stained driveway or a cracked patio slab, we assess the damage and apply the right solution. This may involve grinding, patching, resurfacing or sealing depending on the surface and its condition. Atherton’s cooler climate and high rainfall can affect concrete surfaces over time, so we take a preventative approach wherever possible. Our repairs not only improve the look of your concrete but also extend its life and usability. It’s a cost-effective way to refresh your space without a full replacement.

What are the most common finishes for concrete surfaces?
Concrete can be finished in several ways depending on the desired look and function. Common finishes include broom finish for grip, trowelled for a smooth surface and exposed aggregate for decorative appeal. Stamped and stencilled patterns are also popular for decorative concrete. Sealing can enhance colours and protect the finish. The right choice depends on where the concrete is used — for example, driveways often require more texture for slip resistance, while patios may favour a decorative style.
Will my concrete crack over time?
Concrete can develop cracks as it naturally shrinks and settles, especially during the curing process. However, most cracks are superficial and not structural. Proper preparation, use of control joints, correct mix ratios and adequate curing all help minimise cracking. Regular maintenance and sealing can also reduce the impact of minor surface cracks. If deeper or spreading cracks appear, it’s best to have them assessed to determine if repairs are needed.
What thickness should concrete be for different areas?
Thickness depends on how the concrete will be used. For general footpaths or patios, 75–100mm is usually enough. Driveways typically require 100–125mm, especially if they’ll carry vehicles. Heavier loads or retaining areas may need thicker pours or reinforcement. A qualified concreter can assess the needs of your space and recommend the correct thickness based on load, usage and soil conditions. Using the right thickness ensures safety and prevents early damage or wear.
