Merricks North is farmland and horse country, inland from the beach settlements and quieter again than Merricks. Properties are large, driveways are long, and a lot of the concrete work supports animals and machinery: stable floors, feed shed slabs, wash bays and the hardstand where the float gets loaded.
We are upfront about this: we are a referral service only. We pass your enquiry to experienced, insured local concreters who work Merricks North regularly.

How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Merricks North, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
Tell the concreter what the surface has to handle. A stable floor, a float hardstand and a garden path are three different slabs, and the thickness and finish follow from the use.
What concreting costs in Merricks North
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Area, load and cartage distance decide the price here. Access is generally good on farm tracks, which helps. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Victoria, building work is regulated by the Victorian Building Authority and by councils. What applies to your job depends on its type, size and location, so ask the concreter to set out registration and permits in writing.
Frequently asked questions
What finish suits a stable floor?
A textured, non-slip finish with fall to a drainage point. Smooth trowelled concrete is dangerous for horses when wet.
How thick should a float hardstand be?
Heavier than a car driveway. Give the contractor the loaded weight and they will size it properly.
Can concrete be poured near stock?
Yes, with the area fenced off while it cures. Agree the staging so animals can still be moved and watered.
