Our Concreting Services

OS Concreters Ballarat can assist you with various concreting services, from installation, maintenance and repair. We’re local, so we can easily come out to your property.

Concrete Driveways

Concrete driveways, sometimes known as cement driveways, are the perfect solution for the modern-day home in Ballarat.

Their durability will provide you with not only a cost-benefit in the long term but with lower yearly maintenance as well. 

Concrete driveways can last up to 25 to 35 years, based on the quality of works and weather conditions.

There are many cosmetic applications for concrete driveways to choose from, such as plain, coloured, stamped, stencilled, exposed aggregate and gravel. 

Driveway Options

As the name suggests, plain concrete is a cost effective way to get a driveway installed without breaking the bank. Still providing all durability and weather wear, plain concrete is the perfect starter choice for when you don't need any fancier options. Usually perfect for rental properties or areas that are considered functional spaces only.

If plain concrete isn’t your style, then perhaps coloured driveway is. We can bring your driveway to life by colourising it. We blend concrete with a coloured oxide that ensures a long-lasting life.  Simply browse through our available range and choose which colour best represents your lifestyle.

When a coloured driveway just isn’t enough, we can assist you with a stamped driveway. Occasionally known as textured concrete as well, we can transform your driveway to appear like stone, slate, pavers or even wood, without jeopardising longevity. What’s more, you can even colourise it to make it stand out even more.

Stencil driveways can make your home stand out in a busy street. By using versatile stencils, we can apply complex and visually appealing designs atop your concrete driveway that can make it look like pavers, stone or even brick. Once fresh concrete has been laid, we apply the stencil onto the concrete and apply pressure with a special roller.

Transform your home or business by adding an exposed aggregate driveway to your property. Be blown away by the decorative and functional material. Its durability and grip resilience is perfect for the ever-changing Ballarat weather. Our aggregate is sourced locally and is perfect for footpaths, driveways and patios.

Concrete Slabs

Concrete slabs are built for various uses. Their durability and ability to withstand long periods of time make them the perfect choice for a solid foundation to build on top of.

Our team can assist with building your concrete slab for the below applications:

Concrete Slab Options

Whether you’re in need of a small concreting job for a garden concrete slab or a large commercial shed for a farm or winery, our local Ballarat team can assist you with planning your project to ensure that it’s completed with the utmost accuracy and within budget.

Do you need a concrete garage slab laid before building your new garage or carport? Ensuring that you have a solid footing is the most crucial part of any new build job and you can be assured that our team are qualified for the job.

A concrete slab is the perfect foundation for a new pergola and patio, making way for an exceptional outdoor entertainment area for your home. They’re low maintenance, durable and can withstand even the harshest of weather, and are more affordable than a wooden deck.

Gravel Driveways​

For property owners looking for a cost-effective alternative to concrete driveways, look at gravel driveways and surfacing for walkways. Crushed rock, otherwise known as gravel, is the cheaper alternative to concreting driveways or footpaths but still provides you with a surface that assists both foot traffic and vehicles with grip while keeping your property tidy from mud build-up and potholes.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls can be both functional and visually appealing, making them the perfect solution for small homes or homes built on an incline. You can incorporate your landscaping designs around the wall to make them more aesthetic while not sacrificing stability.

Excavation

Excavation, also known as earthmoving, is the process of levelling land. This is often completed to make way to build on top of, or in regards to retaining walls, to compact an area. We are fully equipped to excavate land and even offer bobcat hire if you wish to DIY.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose to concrete your driveway?

One of the main reasons to choose a concrete driveway is the fact that a typical driveway can last up to 30 years without sustaining major damage. It is because of this we stand by our choice of materials and advocate for them costing you less in the long run.

Ballarat homeowners are taking extraordinary pride in the exterior looks of their homes. Concreted driveways, pathways and retaining walls are all becoming an important part of landscaping and gardening design. To the credit of concrete, the diversification of the material’s patterns, colours and textures all create a unique and elegant design that can be suited to a great variety of Australian homes.

A modern shift in a young generation of homeowners has also begun transforming the methods and design work that we traditionally adopt, to a more out of the box and abstract approach. The decorative appearance and feel of combining stone, slate and brick will not only leave a wow factor, but an average increase on your properties value.

What is difference between concrete and cement?

Cement is just one component that makes up concrete.

What is concrete made out of?

Concrete is normally made of sand, water, hair-sized rocks, and cement. The cement plays a critical role in holding the components together. Cement does not have any significant weight-bearing responsibilities on its own but instead provides the necessary properties for allowing the concrete to bear weight without cracking or breaking up.

What is the cost of concrete?

It depends on your location, the type of job, the quantity that’s needed, and other factors. Get in touch with our concreting team to find out more about the costs in Ballarat or by filling out our contact form.

What is the strongest concrete mix ratio?

The concrete mix ratio changes depending on the batch, but a typical mix is 2 parts aggregate to 1 part water. The smaller the fraction of water added per volume of cement used, the stronger and more durable will be finished product’s strength.

What is a cheaper alternative to a concreted driveway?

When it comes to costs, installing a gravel driveway is the cheaper option. This means less invasive construction and lower labor expenses – which can make or break your budget! However, if you’re looking for something more aesthetically pleasing with low upkeep requirements, concrete might be better suited to your property’s landscape needs.

How do you calculate concrete?

There are many factors that go into the calculation of concrete. Depending on the property size, location or how much reinforcement is used in different areas of your project will all determine what type and colour it needs to be as well as its price. Estimates also vary depending on if it’s a residential or commercial concreting project. For the best estimate, simply send us a message or give us a call to get a free quote.
