About concrete driveways
A concrete driveway involves excavation, forming, a compacted base, reinforcement, then the pour and finish, and it needs proper thickness and jointing to handle vehicle loads without cracking. The base and steel are as important as the concrete. Ask about thickness, reinforcement and the finish before you compare quotes.
Getting quotes in Burnside
For concrete driveways, ask each concreter two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Burnside. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Eastern Suburbs run.
Local knowledge counts
Burnside sits in the Eastern Suburbs area, which means several concreters are normally within a short drive. Mention your suburb when you enquire so travel is built into the price from the start rather than appearing on the invoice later.
Quick answers
Do I need council approval for concreting?+
Paths and driveways on private land often do not need approval, but slabs for structures, work in easements, and changes to stormwater or crossovers can require council or water-authority approval. Ask your concreter to confirm before pouring, since removing non-compliant work is expensive.
Why does concrete crack?+
Some fine hairline cracking is normal as concrete cures, but larger cracks usually come from a poor base, missing or badly placed reinforcement, no control joints, or loading it too early. A properly prepared and jointed slab minimises cracking. Control joints are placed to make any cracking follow a straight, hidden line.
Is exposed aggregate worth the extra cost?+
Exposed aggregate costs more than plain concrete but is more slip-resistant, hides marks and tyre scuffs, and looks far better, which many owners find worth it for a front driveway or entertaining area. Ask to see samples, since the stone and colour vary between suppliers and mixes.
