About concrete repairs and resurfacing
Resurfacing puts a new decorative layer over sound but tired concrete, and crack repairs address movement before it spreads, which is cheaper than replacing a whole slab or driveway. Not all concrete is a candidate, so an honest concreter will tell you when replacement is the better spend.
Getting quotes in Forest Lake
A good concreter will quote concrete repairs and resurfacing clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Forest Lake. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.

Quick answers
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.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
