Why you might need concreting servicesProjects you might need concrete for include the following:There are many types of concreting products, all of which are great considerations for commercial flooring solutions, building, foundations and more. As concrete is such a heavy-duty and durable material, when using quality products, you can be sure that it will last, making it the perfect solution. We offer concrete services for footings, driveway, garage flooring and residential concreting needs. We even offer resurfacing for existing concrete.
Footings are one of the most important parts of your building. The building will only ever be as good as the foundation meaning it needs to be done properly and effectively the first time. Poor footings can lead to structural disasters and can lead to sinking and sloping. We take great care in assessing the ground in which the footings are to be installed to establish the most effective and sturdiest footing solution. |
Driveways are commonly constructed using bricks, pavers, concrete blocks or aggregate. Pavers can quickly start to move and become uneven making them a poor choice due to the expectation that they should be able to handle the heavy load of a vehicle. As concrete is so durable and solid it can handle the pressure from heavy vehicles at residential and commercial facilities and will last without moving. It is important for a driveway to maintain an even surface to prevent damage to vehicles travelling in and out of the area.
Different Types of Concrete SurfacesOur concrete contractors can meet a range of household and landscaping needs in CanberraAlongside your driveway, your garage is the area which your car will be parked over long periods of time. The garage is expected to carry a huge load of weight for long periods of time and remain intact without compromising its integrity. Concrete is the perfect garage flooring solution, and if laid properly will last throughout the life of your home in Canberra.
Residential homes and commercial buildings rely on the integrity of the slab of the house to withstand the weight of the rest of the building. A slab is always laid using footings and concrete which is then left to harden prior to building. The quality of the home or building is only going to be as strong as the slab that it is laid on. Uneven or poorly set slabs can cause tilting, sinking or cracking which can be greatly difficult to rectify after the building has been built. We can also lay slabs for garden sheds, outhouses, pool equipment, letterboxes and more, as well as repairing or resurfacing damaged concrete. We can work on your concreting job from scratch, from planning and design for your project, we can work to your specifications. Our quality excavation services assist with site preparation and we are great when it comes to planning and design, so we can create an aesthetic finished product for you. We use a lot of design elements especially for your driveway and pool area, so you can expect that the area will look exceptional when finished. |

Here is some more info on the different types of concrete we offer for your residential or commercial concreting project:
Concrete driveways
Concrete can be used for your new driveways because it is more cost-effective than brick, granite, or mortar. Also, concrete driveways are easier to maintain, and they are more durable than other more expensive options. The combined strength and longevity of concrete makes it the favourite of most contractors, especially in setting and building your driveway.
Some homeowners will choose the DYI route in building a new driveway, but we don’t recommend it since it is hard work. Not to mention that laying new concrete on a driveway is a time-critical task, and once you pour concrete, it will harden very quickly. For this reason, we at Concreting Canberra offer our prompt service, including site preparation, excavation, preparing forms, pouring concrete, and finishing the driveway surface based on industry standards, as well as rubbish removal. Resurfacing can be considered for an existing concrete driveway.
Exposed aggregate
Exposed aggregate is commonly used in walkways and sidewalks because of its decorative feature. To successfully expose the aggregate underneath the concrete, you will need to use the correct equipment, along with a particular method of removing the top layer of cement paste. Once the aggregate is set on top of the surface, it will harden and become very durable, ideal for your driveway and patios. The common method used by concrete contractors is to apply a retardant solution on the cement surface after pouring the concrete and aggregating it on the ground.
After applying the solution, they will rinse the top layer of cement using a pressure hose washer to expose the aggregate on the surface. When it comes to exposed aggregate, we can assure you that we have a professional team of highly skilled and professional concreters in Canberra that can do the job as per your specifications.
Slabs
One of the best features of concrete slabs is their ability to provide thermal comfort. In fact, it is recommended to use concrete slabs in cool climates or areas with an extreme temperature range. However, you still need to combine the thermal mass of a concrete slab with other passive design principles to make it more effective.
That is why it is essential for you to hire a reliable and professional concreting business in Canberra because we have an expert team that can help you design, place and reinforce concrete slabs. This will ensure their strength and stability for many years to come.
Stamped
Stamped concrete is one of the latest breakthroughs in the concreting industry, and various contractors now use it in their projects, including driveways, patios, sidewalks, and car parks. It is one of the most affordable and economical concrete options around, especially if you are going to compare it with other materials like granite, stone and mortar. It can also keep its appeal for a very long time, which means that it is durable and very flexible.
In fact, you can easily manipulate and arrange based on your design. So, if you want a concrete material that is cost-effective and durable, you should consider using stamped concrete. To learn more about this concrete material, we urge you to get in with us so we can provide you with competitive pricing based on the complexity of your concreting job. You can also add a stamped feature to existing concrete by resurfacing.
Retaining walls
Retaining walls are essential for many properties and because they support and restrain soil to a slope and prevent it from sliding to other parts of the site. However, designing and construction of retaining walls is no easy task and will require expertise and experience. That is why we recommend that you hire a licensed and reputable contracting business that can help you through the whole process.
Canberra Concreting has an honest expert team of highly qualified concreters that know the type and design that will work best for your property or house. They will also know how deep the footing of your retaining wall should be and can complete required excavation tasks. We also know the most suitable material based on your landscape and garden. We can assure you that we can produce advanced planning and layout to ensure that your retraining wall is built according to your envisioned design and following safety protocols to avoid hazards and accidents.
Stencilled
Stencilled concrete is a type of decorative concrete and is comparable with stamped, but the only difference is that it uses intricate patterns to mimic other natural materials like grey mortar joints and marble. For this type of concrete, concrete contractors use disposable paper to produce awesome designs that can be impossible to achieve with other concrete materials. In fact, some homeowners who use stencilled concrete at their house like to mimic the look of cobblestone because it is an exquisite material for driveways and patios.
It is also the fastest to install and can cover large site areas in the least time possible. That is why it is favourite of the best concreters since it is more straightforward to apply and can produce excellent results.
Coloured
Many contractors use coloured concrete as it is practical, and you just need to add colour to standard concrete. However, you can also produce attractive and vibrant designs without breaking your budget. Another great feature of this decorative concrete is its versatility; customers can mix and match various colours based on the look and effect you are looking for. In fact, the best concreters use mixed pigments on standard concrete to distribute the colour evenly on the surface of patios, driveways, walkways, and sidewalks.
When choosing what colour to use for your concreting job, there are several ideas you should consider, like matching the colour scheme to your house. You must also consider the type of colour that will reflect heat, but that will depend on the weather in your location in Canberra.
Lastly, if you choose to use coloured concrete in your driveway, patio, or walkway, it is essential that you hire a reliable, professional concreting business like Canberra Concreting. We can help you choose the best design based on your property, and we will even find the best supplier for the required materials for your concreting job. If you have an existing surface you would like to add colour too, consider resurfacing your concrete.
Concrete Cutting
Saw cuts are important to create control joints in concrete for your commercial or residential project. The concrete cutting helps to reduce cracking when shrinkage occurs due to a variety of environmental factors at your site so that it can last long into the future. Concrete cutting can also be used to reshape concrete.
Our expert team can also repair, restore and clean concrete, bringing it back to it's original pristine condition. We also offer a variety of resurfacing options
