Call For Free Quote
Contact us for a free quote where we’ll evaluate your project and discuss your specific requirements. We’ll provide a clear and transparent quote, ensuring you know exactly what to expect in terms of costs and timeframes.
Site Prep and Formwork
We begin by preparing the site, which includes clearing the area of any debris, levelling the ground, and setting up formwork to define the shape and boundaries of the concrete. This step ensures that the foundation is stable and that the concrete will be poured evenly and precisely.
Concrete Pour
After the concrete is mixed, we pour it into the prepared formwork. Our team uses precision tools to spread, smooth, and level the surface, ensuring a clean, professional finish. Depending on your project, we can also add decorative finishes like exposed aggregate or stencilling during this stage.
Enjoy Your New Concrete Surface
After the concrete has fully cured, your new surface is ready for use! You’ll enjoy a durable, low-maintenance concrete surface that enhances both the functionality and appeal of your space.

Frankston Concreting FAQs
How much does concreting cost in Frankston?
The cost will vary greatly depending on various factors such as type of job, size of the job, the complexity of the job, ease of access, excavation requirements, existing soil type, and drainage requirements among a host of other factors. So it’s very difficult to provide an accurate range. To get a better idea it’s best to give us a call and talk through the job then we can provide an estimate, or we can come onsite and provide a firm quote for free!
We work with homeowners and business owners with all types of budgets, if you think your budget is small, you may be surprised to see how much we can do with it. Especially if you have an existing old concrete surface. Our concrete resurfacing options can provide an amazing transformation at a tiny fraction of the cost of a new installation project. Give us a call for an obligation-free discussion.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete typically takes 24 to 48 hours to set enough for light foot traffic, but it is important to note that full curing takes about 28 days. During the curing period, the concrete gradually strengthens and hardens, reaching about 70% of its strength within the first week and full strength by the end of the curing process. Our experienced team ensures that every concrete surface is given the proper time to cure, ensuring durability.
While light traffic can be allowed after a few days, heavy loads, such as vehicles, should not be applied until the concrete has fully cured. Proper curing is essential for long-lasting concrete and helps prevent cracks and other damage.
What causes concrete to crack?
Cracks in concrete can occur due to various reasons, including improper curing, heavy loads, ground movement, and temperature changes. Shrinkage during the curing process is a common cause of minor cracks, as concrete tends to shrink as it dries.
Poor installation, such as inadequate ground preparation or lack of control joints, can also contribute to cracking. Regular maintenance and proper installation practices, such as using reinforcement and control joints, help minimise the risk of cracking.
How thick should a concrete slab be?
The thickness of a concrete slab depends on its intended use. For residential driveways, a thickness of about 100mm is typically recommended, as it provides sufficient strength for cars and light vehicles. For areas that will bear heavier loads, such as commercial spaces or industrial sites, the slab may need to be thicker, usually between 125mm to 150mm.
Proper thickness is critical to the slab’s durability and longevity. Thinner slabs can crack under pressure or fail to support the weight, while thicker slabs provide the necessary reinforcement to handle the loads they will bear.
How long does a concrete surface last?
Concrete is known for its durability and can last 25 to 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained. The longevity of a concrete surface depends on factors such as climate, usage, and how well it is cared for over time. With our concreting Frankston services, we ensure proper installation and offer guidance on maintenance, including sealing, cleaning, and addressing cracks early on to maximise the lifespan of your concrete. Even in high-traffic or harsh environments, concrete can continue to perform well with the right care.

Should I install exposed aggregate concrete?
Whether you decide to install exposed aggreagte concrete, regular concrete or a decorative concrete like stencilled concrete the choice is primarily a matter or personal preference and the look you’re after. Aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits here are some practical benefits of exposed aggregate concrete.
One of the most notable benefits of exposed aggregate is its improved traction over plain concrete. It’s known for its slip-resistant traits and is especially beneficial for rainy weather and sloped driveways. It’s also highly customisable and decorative, easily made to match your home’s aesthetic. The term itself simply means that the materials within the concrete can be seen from the surface. What makes it so customisable is that you can use many different materials to create the visual you want.
Exposed aggregate is just as durable if not more so than traditional concrete. Its lower concrete-to-water ratio gives it a stronger surface than brushed concrete, which is more likely to take damage. It’s reasonably low maintenance. You’ll need to sweep it to keep it clean and occasionally high-pressure hose it and apply a sealer to it every couple of years but other than that, your exposed aggregate will pretty much take care of itself.
What are the different types of exposed aggregate?
Exposed Aggregate is a decorative concrete style generally used for driveways, patios and walkways. It is pre-mixed before transport and is usually a mix of river stone or crushed rock. It comes in a variety of tones. The appeal of exposed aggregate comes from its texture, which provides visual interest and natural patterns. It can also have many colours and shades within the mix. It’s preferred for outdoor areas because it provides a non-slip surface. The best part about exposed aggregate is that it has all the benefits of traditional, plain concrete–durability, strength, and flexibility. It will look great wherever you put it, perfectly complementing your home.
Seeded Aggregate is another type of decorative concrete. However, for this type, the concreter will hand-seed the concrete at the time of placement, giving it a more tailored effect than your standard exposed aggregate. The decorative additions include pebbles, seashells, glass, and others. This option is highly durable, much like traditional concrete. Additionally, it offers the slip-resistant benefits of exposed aggregate. As the aggregate is applied to the top of the concrete, you can have many more material choices than with other decorative concrete selections.
Illuminating Aggregate glows in the dark. This option needs to be in a location that receives as much sunlight as possible during the daylight hours, as this is what illuminates it after dark. It’s highly popular for polished concrete, exposed aggregate floors, pool surrounds, garden pathways, outdoor patios, and driveways. These aggregates can be seeded in decorative patterns, making the most of your outdoor space. The illuminating aggregate comes in various sizes and colours, allowing you to create the perfect aesthetic creation for your home. If you want to add some excitement and interest to your driveway or patio, this is one option you should consider.
