Balnarring is the service township for this part of the Peninsula, with shops, a racecourse and a mix of rural-residential blocks on gently undulating ground. Blocks are bigger than suburban but smaller than farm, which makes for a particular kind of concreting: driveways long enough to matter, sheds big enough to need thought, and houses with enough yard to justify a decent alfresco slab.
To be clear about what we do: we are a referral service, not a concreting business. Your job goes to an experienced, insured local concreter who works Balnarring.
Common concreting jobs in Balnarring
- Driveways on rural-residential blocks, usually with a turning area
- Concrete slabs for sheds, workshops, garages and studios
- Alfresco slabs, paths and patios and pool surrounds
- Tank, pump and caravan pads
- Repairs to older cracked driveways and paths
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Balnarring, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
On a block with a bit of fall, ask the concreter to mark the finished levels before the formwork goes up. It is easier to move a line on the ground than a slab after the pour.
What concreting costs in Balnarring
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Area and access are the main drivers, with cartage distance behind them. Open runs price better per square metre than cut-up work. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
Victorian building work sits under the Victorian Building Authority and council rules, and the requirements depend on the type, size and location of the job. The concreters we refer confirm what applies before quoting.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a turning area as part of the driveway?
On a longer rural-residential driveway it is worth it, both for convenience and for keeping cars off the lawn in winter.
Can a shed slab and driveway be poured together?
Often yes, and it usually saves money because the truck and crew are already on site.
How long before I can use a new driveway?
Foot traffic in a day or two, cars after about a week, heavier vehicles longer.
