Concrete services in Palmerston North
If it is concrete and it is residential, we pour it. Every job starts the same way. We come to your property, measure up, talk through the finishes and give you a firm written price.
Planning a new driveway? Read our guides to concrete driveway finishes, driveways on sloping sections and vehicle crossings in Palmerston North.
Concrete Driveways
A new concrete driveway is the single biggest change you can make to the front of a Palmerston North home. We pour plain broom finish, coloured concrete and exposed aggregate driveways, and we handle the whole job. Breaking out and carting away the old surface, excavating, laying and compacting the basecourse, setting the boxing, placing the reinforcing mesh, pouring, finishing and cutting the control joints.
- Falls set so water runs to the street, never to your garage door
- Correct mesh and slab thickness for vehicle loads
- Vehicle crossing work co-ordinated with Palmerston North City Council
- Plain, coloured, cut-and-seal or exposed aggregate finishes
Concrete Paths, Steps & Patios
Paths, steps and patios take more of a beating from Manawatū weather than people expect. Laid without proper falls they hold water, grow moss and turn into a slip hazard by mid-winter, and a badly formed step is a trip hazard from the day it goes in. We set everything to drain, finish it with enough texture to stay safe underfoot, and keep the edges straight, the curves fair and the rises even.
- Broom or textured finishes for grip in wet weather
- Proper falls away from the house and foundations
- Consistent rises and crisp, hard-wearing step nosings
- Patios sized and set out around existing decks, doors and garden beds
Concrete Slabs
Everything you build sits on the slab, so it is the one part you do not want done cheaply. We pour shed and garage floors, sleepout and extension foundations, and heavier slabs for workshops and farm buildings. Flat enough that the roller door seals, and reinforced for whatever ends up parked on it.
- Levels set off the door so nothing pools and nothing rocks
- Damp-proof membrane laid as standard on anything enclosed
- Mesh chaired up into the slab where it actually does something
- Bolt positions set from your shed plan before the pour
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate is the finish people notice, and the one that hides everyday wear best. The top layer is washed back to reveal the stone underneath, so instead of flat grey you get texture and colour that does not show tyre marks, leaf stain or the odd bit of oil. It suits the darker cladding going on new builds around Aokautere and Whakarongo, and it costs a fraction of paving over the same area.
- A range of stone and colour blends, viewed on real samples before you commit
- Naturally non-slip texture, good underfoot around pools and entryways
- Hides tyre marks and staining far better than plain concrete
- Sealed to lift the colour and make washing down easier
Concrete Resurfacing
Resurfacing is the fussiest concrete work there is and the easiest to get wrong. An overlay bonded to a dirty or moving slab lifts within a season, and a patchy finish looks worse than the concrete it covered. We prepare every surface properly before anything goes over it, keeping the bond sound and the finish even.
- Surface ground and prepared so the overlay actually bonds
- Cracks cut out and the cause fixed before resurfacing
- Non-slip finishes for driveways, paths and wet areas
- Colours and textures matched to the rest of the property
Concrete Repairs
Concrete rarely fails for no reason. Cracked paths, sunken slabs and crumbling edges usually come back to a base that has washed out, water going where it should not, or a pour that was too thin to start with. We find the cause first, fix it, then cut out the failed concrete and pour back so the repair holds instead of reopening next winter.
- Cracked and lifted paths, patios and slabs
- Broken edges, corners and step nosings rebuilt
- Base and drainage faults fixed before we pour
- New concrete matched to the existing finish as closely as it can be
Concrete Driveway Repairs
If the rest of your driveway is still sound, there is no sense replacing all of it. We saw-cut out the failed section, rebuild the base underneath and pour back to a control joint so the repair reads as part of the driveway rather than a patch. Where a driveway is past saving we will tell you that too, and price the replacement instead.
- Failed sections saw-cut out and repoured to the joint
- Sunken and rocking slabs lifted and re-bedded
- Vehicle crossings and driveway edges repaired
- An honest call on whether repair or replacement is the better spend
