Somers is a bush village on sandy ground along the Western Port foreshore, with tea-tree streets, few kerbs and a deliberate lack of suburban polish. That character shapes the concrete work. Driveway entries often meet an unkerbed road edge rather than a formed crossing, access runs between trees, and the jobs are generally small, careful and worth doing once.
A quick note on who we are. We do not pour concrete ourselves. We are a referral service, and we pass your job to experienced, insured local concreters who work across Somers and the surrounding streets.
Common concreting jobs in Somers
- Driveways and entries, including the transition to an unkerbed road edge
- Concrete slabs for sheds, carports and studios
- Paths and patios threaded between trees
- Boat, trailer and caravan pads
- Repairs to settled or root-lifted concrete
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Somers, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
Where there is no kerb, ask how the driveway will meet the road and where the water will run. The council has a view on both, and it is better raised before the formwork.
What concreting costs in Somers
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Access between trees, sand compaction and small pour volumes are the Somers price movers. Cartage is a longer run than at the Mornington end. 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
How does a driveway meet an unkerbed road?
With a formed entry and the right fall so water does not run onto the road or into your property. Check the council's requirements before it is built.
Can trees be worked around?
Usually, and in Somers that is generally the preference. Talk about root zones before the design is settled.
Is sand a problem under a slab?
Only if it is not prepared. Compacted crushed rock under the slab is what stops settlement.
