Concrete Narrabundah
Concrete driveways, slabs, paths and repairs in Narrabundah, from original homes to new townhouses and rebuilds. Fixed-price written quotes.
Concrete Services in Narrabundah
Narrabundah has one of the more varied housing mixes in the Inner South — original post-war homes, renovated family houses, redeveloped multi-unit sites and new townhouses, sometimes all on the same street. That makes the concrete work just as varied. We pour concrete in Narrabundah for replacement driveways on older homes, slabs for granny flats and extensions, shared paths and driveways on townhouse sites, and small repairs where only part of a driveway has failed. Many of the original driveways here were thin and lightly reinforced, and decades of clay movement have done the rest. We look at what is there, tell you honestly whether a repair will last, and quote a fixed price for whatever the job actually needs.
- Replacement driveways — Breaking out cracked original driveways and pouring new ones on a corrected, properly compacted base.
- Granny flat & extension slabs — Slabs for secondary dwellings and extensions, built from the engineering and coordinated with your certifier.
- Partial repairs — Cutting out and replacing failed sections where the rest of the driveway is sound, matched as closely as practical.

Concrete Finishes in Narrabundah
Polished Concrete
We grind and seal your slab to a shine, trialling the gloss level on a small patch first so you can see it.
Coloured Concrete
Colour mixed right through or stained on top, picked from cured samples you can view in daylight at home.
Honed Concrete
A smooth, low-sheen surface that stays grippy underfoot when it is wet or frosty, ideal around pools and alfrescos.
Exposed Aggregate
Stones revealed at the surface give you traction on a sloping block and hide tyre marks and leaf stains well.
Stencilled Concrete
Brick, tile or paver patterns laid into a new pour, or applied over an existing slab that is still solid.
Stamped Concrete
Stone, slate or timber textures stamped into fresh concrete, with the layout planned so edges finish cleanly.
Concrete Expertise in Narrabundah
Driveways
Built on a base suited to your soil, with control joints placed properly and the verge crossing to TCCS standards.
Patios
We walk the heights and drainage falls with you before pouring, since they are locked in once the concrete sets.
Al Frescos
An alfresco floor has to meet your indoor level exactly, so we sort the heights with your builder before booking.
Pathways
Paths graded so summer storm runoff heads away from your walls, not back against the footings.
Pool Surrounds
We settle grip, how hot it gets under bare feet in summer, and the edge detail at the coping before we start.
Foundations
Footings dug and steel fixed to your engineer and soil report, then inspected by the certifier before any concrete goes in.
Other Concrete Services in Narrabundah
Concrete Installation
Driveways, patios, footings and slabs quoted after we have seen your block and ground, not from a price list.
Concrete Repair
Before any fix, we find what made your slab crack, heave or flake, so the damage doesn't come straight back.
Concrete Slabs
House, shed and granny flat slabs built to an engineer design that suits your block’s soil class.
Concrete Resurfacing
A new finish laid over solid old concrete, with most of the effort going into cleaning and prepping it.
Concrete Replacement
We break out the failed concrete, fix the ground beneath it and pour fresh, so the fault is not repeated.
Concrete Removal
Pipes and cables found and access sorted before breaking starts, and the rubble trucked off for recycling.
Excavation and Earthworks in Narrabundah
Digging and Dirty Works
Awkward little digs where finding buried services and fitting a machine in take the most thought.
Excavation
We check depths, heights and buried pipes on site first, so the dig goes to plan from day one.
Earthworks
Ground cut and filled, then compacted layer by layer, with testing done whenever your certifier asks for it.
Trenching
Trenches dug to the right fall, bedded and packed back in layers so they do not sink after a wet winter.
Digger Hire
An excavator plus an experienced operator, with the right size machine chosen after we look at your access.
Demolition
Asbestos checked and services cut off before we pull anything down, with waste sorted so more gets recycled.
Ground conditions in Narrabundah
Once the concrete is poured, there's no going back to fix what's under it. That's why we look at the ground here before we price a single square metre.
Reactive clay under thin old slabs
Original driveways were often laid thin over clay. Seasonal movement has cracked many of them, and the replacement needs a better base and reinforcement.
Disturbed ground on redeveloped sites
Where older homes have been demolished for units or townhouses, the ground can include old footings, rubble and backfilled trenches that need compacting or removing.
Flatter ground and stormwater
Some Narrabundah blocks are relatively flat, so getting enough fall to move summer storm water off a driveway takes careful setting out.
Narrabundah concrete questions
Questions we hear a lot from Narrabundah homeowners before we come out to quote.
Should I repair or replace my old Narrabundah driveway?
It depends on why it has failed. If one or two panels have dropped because of a local soft spot or a tree root, a section replacement can work well. If the whole slab is thin, unreinforced and cracked throughout, repairs rarely last. We look at the cause, explain both options and give you a fixed written price for each where they make sense.
Do you build slabs for granny flats in Narrabundah?
We do. Plenty of Narrabundah blocks now have a second dwelling out the back, and each slab follows the engineer’s design for your soil class. We line up inspections with your builder and private certifier, set out plumbing and edge beams as drawn, and time the pour so your builder isn’t left waiting on us.
What if the old house had asbestos?
Many older Canberra homes contain bonded asbestos in eaves, sheds or fences, and some have been affected by loose-fill asbestos. That must be assessed and removed by licensed professionals before ground work starts. If we see suspected material near the job, we pause and recommend testing, so the concreting can go ahead safely.
