About Us
Perth Concrete Co provides practical information about residential concrete driveways, exposed aggregate, liquid limestone, shed slabs, alfrescos and pool surrounds across Perth. The guides explain local council considerations and common ground conditions, from coastal Bassendean sand to reactive Guildford clay.
A reliable estimate must account for the actual site: access, ground preparation, reinforcement, drainage, finish and sealer. Those details should be reviewed and confirmed in writing before any work begins.

Perth Concreting Jobs
The bulk of Perth concreting work: full new driveways for estate builds and replacement driveways for 1980s to 1990s homes. Standard 100mm slabs with SL72 mesh on sand ground; upgraded 125mm with SL82 mesh on reactive clay through Ellenbrook, Aveley and the eastern corridor.
The most popular mid tier finish in Perth for driveways, alfrescos and pool surrounds. WA quarried aggregates, imported granite blends, and designer reveals, priced from $110–$180/m² installed. Perth's UV load makes solvent based UV stable sealer mandatory.
The default finish for Perth pool surrounds and coastal alfrescos. Pale, cool underfoot in summer, complementary to Perth's limestone clad house style. Runs $100–$150/m² installed. Chlorine and salt exposure demand a premium penetrating sealer.
From 6m×3m garden shed pads to engineered granny flat foundations. Slab thickness scales with load: 100mm for sheds, 125mm for double garages, 150mm for workshops with hoists or heavy vehicles. Reactive clay ground requires deeper base prep and heavier mesh.
Concrete slabs for outdoor living extensions off the rear of Perth homes. Tie in to the existing house slab with dowel bars, 1:100 fall for drainage, cast in post plates for patio roof structures. Popular finishes: exposed aggregate, liquid limestone, honed concrete.
For 1980s to 1990s Perth driveways where the base slab is sound but the surface is tired. Spray on and polymer modified overlays at $55–$130/m², dramatically cheaper than full replacement. Only works when the underlying slab is structurally sound.
FAQ
A concrete driveway in Perth costs between $80 and $220 per square metre installed. Plain grey sits at the low end, exposed aggregate and coloured concrete in the middle, honed and polished finishes at the top. A typical 40m² family driveway runs $3,500–$8,500 depending on finish, reinforcement, and access. See our concrete driveway cost calculator for a live estimate.
Walk on it after 24 hours. Drive a car after 7 days. Full design strength at 28 days when you can apply sealer or park heavy vehicles. In a Perth summer, damp curing with hessian and plastic for the first 7 days is critical to prevent shrinkage cracking.
The driveway on your property does not need a permit. The crossover between the kerb and your boundary requires council approval. Each Perth LGA has its own process. City of Rockingham, Swan, Wanneroo, Armadale, Kwinana, Joondalup, Canning and the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale all handle crossovers slightly differently. See our crossover permits guide.
Estimate enquiries are welcome from across the Perth metro area, from Yanchep in the north to Mandurah in the south. Dedicated guides are available for Baldivis, Ellenbrook, Byford, Alkimos, Piara Waters, Wellard, Aveley, Harrisdale, Golden Bay, Joondalup, Canning Vale and Armadale.
Enquiries submitted before 5pm typically get a response the same or next business day. Weekend enquiries are actioned Monday morning. Estimates are free with no obligation.
Every project should be assessed against the actual site, access, drainage, ground conditions, reinforcement requirements and intended use before a final price or construction specification is agreed. Ask for all scope, credentials and insurance details to be confirmed in writing before work begins.
