Concrete Contractor in Auckland

We pour and finish concrete for driveways, pavements, paths, patios, and hardstands across Auckland. Same crew from excavation to final finish, no subcontractors.

We've been pouring concrete across Auckland for over 25 years. Family-owned, based out of Coatesville. When you need a concrete contractor Auckland property owners and builders can actually rely on, that's us. Driveways, pavements, paths, patios, shed floors, hardstand areas, from small residential pours through to large commercial slabs. The ground preparation gets done right, the mix gets specified for the job, and the finishing gets done by hand. That hasn't changed since we started.

Our concrete work covers the full range. Plain driveways and footpaths, exposed aggregate with local stone blends, stamped patterns, coloured concrete with integral pigments, polished finishes for covered areas. New builds, renovations, or standalone projects, we take it from excavation through to the final seal ourselves. No subcontractors handed the job halfway through, no crew changes between stages.

Need to clear an old slab before the new pour? our Auckland concrete team handles concrete demolition and removal as part of the same project. Or if the ground preparation involves significant earthworks, our earthmoving services can take care of excavation and compaction before formwork goes in.

We're based in Coatesville and cover greater Auckland. Dairy Flat, Manukau, Glen Eden, Silverdale, East Tamaki, Henderson, and beyond. Call us on 0508 4 BLAKE or send a message and let's talk about your project.

Why Choose Our Concrete Contractor in Auckland

Mix Design for Every Application

We specify by strength grade and exposure class. 17.5 MPa for footpaths, 30 MPa for driveways, 40 MPa for structural work. Slump, aggregate size, and water-cement ratio are set for the job, not just whatever comes off the truck. It matters more than most people think, especially when you want a surface that actually finishes cleanly without going sticky or bleeding out.

Hand-Finished. Not Just Screeded Off

Finishing is where most concrete goes wrong. Our crew floats, trowels, and edges every pour by hand. We time it around bleed water and set rate so the surface comes out flat, dense, and tight, not porous, dusty, or scaled at the edges because someone got impatient with the timing.

Steel Reinforcing on Every Slab

Mesh or rebar in every pour, on chairs at the right cover depth. Without it, Auckland's reactive clay soils will crack your slab within a few years. With it, and with control joints cut at the right spacing, the slab stays together. We don't pour unreinforced slabs. Full stop.

Proper Curing. Not Just Walk Away

The first seven days make or break a slab's strength. Fresh pours get protected from rapid drying and temperature swings with curing compounds or wet cover. The difference is a slab that reaches its rated MPa versus one that looks fine on day two but starts powdering off within a couple of years. We don't hand over early.

Decorative Aggregate and Colour Options

We work with Greywacke, Hinuera, and river stone blends for exposed aggregate, integral oxide colours for coloured concrete, stamped patterns, and polished finishes. Before any main pour, we do test panels, because seeing it in person, against your actual house, is the only way to be sure. Photos on a screen don't cut it.

One Crew, Full Scope

Excavation, compaction, boxing, reinforcing, pouring, finishing, we handle all of it. There's no subcontractor handing off between stages. The same team that sets the formwork is the team that floats the surface. Fewer gaps, fewer excuses when something doesn't line up.

Still Have A Question?

We use 30 MPa with steel mesh for standard residential driveways. That grade handles daily vehicle loads and resists surface wear. If you want something that looks better than plain grey, exposed aggregate with a selected stone blend is the most popular choice, it hides tyre marks and scuffs better, and honestly ages more gracefully than plain concrete does in Auckland conditions. I've seen plain slabs go dull and stained within five years on a north-facing property. Aggregate tends to hold its look a lot longer.
Different processes, different results. Exposed aggregate washes the cement paste off the surface after pouring to reveal the natural stone beneath (textured, slip-resistant, and the finish comes from the rock itself. Stamped concrete presses patterns into the fresh surface to mimic brick, slate, or cobblestone. In my experience, exposed aggregate holds up better long-term in Auckland's wet climate. Stamped looks sharper initially but needs more maintenance to keep it that way) regular resealing or the pattern starts to look washed out.
Minimum 100mm of slab on a 100mm compacted base for standard driveways and paths. Areas carrying heavier loads (boat pads, caravan parking, commercial vehicle access) we go to 125mm or 150mm with heavier reinforcing. But here's the thing people miss: the base underneath matters just as much as the slab thickness. You can pour perfect concrete and still get settlement if the subbase isn't compacted properly.
It holds up well when it's built right. What fails concrete in Auckland is inadequate slab thickness, no reinforcing, poor control joint spacing, and a base that doesn't drain. Sort those things out and concrete handles Auckland's rainfall without issue. We also build fall into every pour so water moves off the surface rather than sitting on it.
Not much. A hose down or pressure wash once or twice a year takes care of dirt and algae. For exposed aggregate, a concrete sealer every two to three years keeps the stone colour looking sharp and blocks staining from leaves and organic material. Compare that to timber decking, oiling, sanding, replacing boards. Concrete wins on upkeep by a wide margin.
Exposed aggregate in a range of stone blends. Coloured concrete using integral oxide pigments batched through the full slab depth (not surface paint that peels. Stamped concrete for brick, stone, or timber-plank patterns. And polished concrete for covered patios, entranceways, and indoor-outdoor transitions. We can also combine two finishes on one project) an exposed aggregate centre with a smooth coloured border, for instance. It's a simple combination but makes a real difference to how the finished area reads.
