Canberra runs cold, frosty winters and hot, dry summers. Both matter for concrete: pours in winter cure slowly and need protection from frost, and slabs on the region's reactive clay can lift with seasonal moisture. Summer pours need curing so the surface does not dry too fast and craze.

Our services
Concrete DrivewaysA driveway is the concrete job most Canberra homeowners ask about, and it is the one where the ground matters most.Concrete ResurfacingCracked, worn or stained concrete does not always need tearing out.Spray-On ConcreteTired of a grey, stained or dated driveway? Spray-on concrete, sometimes called spraycrete, is a thin coloured and patterned layer applied over a sound existing slab, a popular way to refresh a driveway, path or pool surround without pouring new concrete.Decorative ConcreteWhen the concrete is on show, the finish is the point.Concrete Paths & PatiosPaths, patios and pool surrounds are the outdoor pours where the finish you walk on and the falls that carry water away matter most.Concrete Slabs & FootingsA slab is a structural job, not just a flat pour.Commercial ConcretingCommercial concrete lives or dies on three things: carrying the load it is specified for, holding the flatness the floor needs, and getting poured without shutting a working site down longer than it has to be.Concrete RemovalBefore new concrete goes in, the old surface usually has to come out.Excavation & EarthworksGood concrete starts below the surface.Epoxy FlooringAn epoxy coating turns a plain concrete floor into a hard, sealed surface that shrugs off oil, tyres and wear.

Built for Canberra ground and weather
Large parts of Canberra sit on reactive clay that swells and shrinks with moisture. Footings and slabs are designed to the site's soil class under AS 2870, which is why a proper slab is not just a thicker pour.
A new or widened driveway that crosses the verge to the road usually needs a crossover approval from the ACT Government (TCCS). We work to that requirement rather than around it.
