Concrete Driveways Melbourne
New driveways quoted as a whole job: demolition, prep, reinforcement, the pour, and the council crossover permit accounted for before anyone breaks ground.
Concreting Services in Melbourne's Inner North
Northside Concreting arranges residential concreting services in Melbourne's inner north, working from a base in Coburg. Seven lines of work cover most concrete jobs a house ever needs: new driveways, exposed aggregate and coloured finishes, slabs and shed bases, paths and patios, resurfacing, and the removal of concrete that's past saving. Every job is quoted at homes and residential investment properties, nothing bigger, so the scope, the pricing and the scheduling all assume a house, a yard and an owner who wants it done properly. Residential concreting is the whole book of work here, and that shows in the quoting: a shed base gets the same attention as a full driveway. The cards below take you to each service, with what's included, how the job runs and what it typically costs in Melbourne.
Our Residential Concreting Services
Seven services, each with its own page covering scope, process and pricing.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Decorative stone finishes chosen from real samples, washed back to show the aggregate and sealed to hold the colour.
Coloured and Decorative Concrete
Oxide colour mixed through the batch, plus stamped patterns that give a paver look with no joints for weeds.
Concrete Slabs and Shed Bases
Shed, garage and workshop slabs formed to the maker's footprint, with the mesh and membrane where they belong.
Concrete Paths and Patios
Side paths, garden paths and backyard patios, the small pours plenty of concreters knock back.
Concrete Resurfacing and Repair
Spray-on and overlay systems for sound slabs that look worse than they are, with straight advice on when resurfacing isn't the fix.
Concrete Removal and Replacement
Demolition, disposal and the new pour handled on one quote, so nobody argues over whose prep failed.
Not Sure Which Concreting Service You Need?
Match what's in front of you to the service and you're most of the way there. A cracked or sinking driveway splits two ways: if the slab underneath is still solid and only the surface is worn, concrete resurfacing renews it for a fraction of a re-pour; if the cracks keep moving or panels rock under the car, concrete removal and replacement is the honest fix, because coatings can't hold a failing slab together. A new shed or garage points to the slabs page, where the quote is built around the maker's footprint. Chasing street appeal rather than fixing a problem? Exposed aggregate and coloured concrete are the two upgrade paths, one led by stone texture, the other by colour. And if none of that maps neatly, describe the job when you get a quote and you'll be pointed at the right option, not the dearest one.
What Do Concreting Services Cost ?
Expect typical Melbourne rates between $65 and $150 a square metre depending on the service and finish, going by published Australian concreting cost guides, compiled July 2026. The proper answer lives in the pricing guides: rate tables by finish, job-type breakdowns and a slab calculator. If it's a driveway you're pricing, start with concrete driveway cost Melbourne.
Jobs are quoted from a Coburg base at homes within 10 to 15 km, and the service areas page lists every suburb.
Concreting Service Questions
Do you do commercial concreting in Melbourne?
No. Northside Concreting quotes residential work only, so commercial concreting, factory floors, car parks and civil jobs are a straight no rather than a maybe. That's deliberate: a book full of house-scale work keeps quotes sharp and scheduling honest. If your job is at a home or a residential investment property in the inner north, it belongs here.
Which service fixes a cracked driveway?
A cracked driveway is fixed by resurfacing when the slab is still solid, and by removal and replacement when it isn't. Stable hairline cracks and surface wear suit concrete resurfacing, which coats the existing slab in a fresh finish. Cracks that keep opening, drummy patches or panels that rock under the car point to concrete removal and replacement, since a coating fails along the same lines as the slab it sits on.
