Asked questions

How long does concrete take to dry?2025-10-28T19:53:13+00:00

You can walk on it after 24 hours, but it takes 7 days before it’s strong enough for vehicles. Full strength comes at 28 days.

Can you match my existing concrete color?2025-10-28T19:53:32+00:00

We’ll get close, but concrete changes shade as it ages. We can discuss staining or coloring options if it needs to match exactly.

Do you work in winter?2025-10-28T19:53:57+00:00

Yes, but we avoid pouring if frost is forecast. Cold weather slows curing, so we plan around the forecast.

Will you handle council permits?2025-10-28T19:54:14+00:00

We can point you in the right direction, but permits are usually the homeowner’s or builder’s responsibility.

Can you concrete over my old driveway?2025-10-28T19:55:07+00:00

Sometimes, if the base is solid. We’ll need to check it first. Often starting fresh is more reliable long-term.

What makes your concrete different?2025-10-28T19:55:34+00:00

We use the right mix for the job and don’t rush the finish. Good concrete isn’t complicated, just takes the right people and enough time.
