Site preparation is a critical step that ensures the success and longevity of a concrete project. The process begins with clearing debris, levelling the ground, and compacting the soil to create a stable base. For areas prone to shifting or water retention, drainage solutions and a layer of gravel or sand may be added.

Formwork is then installed to shape the concrete, and reinforcement like steel mesh or rebar is laid if necessary. Proper preparation minimises the risk of cracking, settling, or uneven surfaces and ensures the final concrete pour adheres to structural and aesthetic standards.

Concrete is a low-maintenance material, but proper care can extend its lifespan significantly. Cleaning the surface regularly to remove dirt, stains, and debris prevents long-term damage. For outdoor concrete, sealing every 2-5 years protects against moisture, weathering, and staining.

Promptly repair cracks or chips to avoid further deterioration. For driveways and pathways, avoid using de-icing salts in winter, as these can corrode the surface. Heavy impacts and chemical spills should also be minimised. If decorative finishes are used, periodic resealing preserves their appearance and prevents wear.

Several factors influence the cost of concreting services. The size and scope of the project are primary considerations, with larger or more complex areas requiring more materials and labour. The type of concrete and its finish also impact costs—decorative finishes like stamped or exposed aggregate are more expensive than standard concrete.

Additional factors include the site’s accessibility, the need for site preparation or levelling, and whether reinforcement is required. Location-specific costs, such as transportation of materials and optional extras like sealing or colouring, can also affect pricing. It’s best to get a detailed quote tailored to your project’s needs.
