About paths and patios
Concrete paths and patios create durable, low-maintenance walkways and outdoor living areas, with the finish chosen for grip and looks. Drainage fall matters so water runs away from the house. Ask about the finish, edging and how the surface will drain.
Getting quotes in Te Kowai
For paths and patios, ask each concreter two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Te Kowai. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Mackay run.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for paths and patios is flexible, include that in the Te Kowai request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
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.
