From a new driveway to a back-yard slab for a shed, concreters handle the foundations and surfaces that everything else sits on. The operators on HelpSorted cover plain concrete, exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, and stencilled finishes.
For a standard plain concrete driveway (~50 sqm), expect $5,500-$8,500 including site prep, formwork, reinforcement, pour, and finish. Exposed aggregate adds $30-$60 per sqm over plain. Coloured concrete adds $25-$40 per sqm. Stencilling is the most expensive finish - usually $80-$150 per sqm - and is most cost-effective on smaller decorative areas like courtyards.
Drainage is the silent killer of concrete in SE QLD's heavy rain - make sure the concreter is planning falls and (where needed) channel drains so water flows away from the house. Ask about the steel reinforcement (mesh size) and whether they're using N20 or N25 mix - both are standard but the right choice depends on load (driveway vs path).
Concreters in Darra — FAQs
How long does concrete take to cure?
Walking on it: 24-48 hours. Driving on it: 7-14 days. Full strength: 28 days. Most concreters will tape it off and let you know when each milestone passes.
What's the difference between exposed aggregate and plain concrete?
Plain is grey, flat, brushed-finish. Exposed aggregate exposes the small stones in the mix for a textured, decorative look. Costs more but lasts longer in heavy use areas.
Do concreters do site prep and formwork?
Yes - a proper quote includes excavation, formwork, mesh, pour, and finish. If a quote is suspiciously cheap, check whether site prep is included or excluded.
Can I get coloured concrete?
Yes - oxide is added to the mix at the plant. Common colours are charcoal, terracotta, and sandstone. Expect $25-$40 per sqm extra.
