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 the Leap
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 the Leap. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Mackay as a service area without being available for every the Leap request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
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.
