About concrete slabs
Slabs for sheds, garages, granny flats and extensions must be sized and reinforced for their load and often need engineering and council approval. Ground preparation, a moisture barrier and correct steel placement are what make a slab last. Confirm whether engineering and approval are included in the quote.
Getting quotes in Footscray
When you enquire about concrete slabs, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
Footscray sits in the Melbourne West area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
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.
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
