What is the best concrete for pool surrounds?
The best concrete for pool surrounds in tropical climates like Bundaberg is exposed aggregate, offering superior slip resistance, heat reflection, and durability. This finish exposes small stones within the concrete, creating a natural texture that remains safe when wet while staying cooler underfoot during hot Queensland summers.
Top pool surround concrete options include:
Exposed Aggregate – Excellent grip, heat-resistant, visually appealing with natural stone textures
Honed Aggregate – Smooth polished finish with slip-resistant sealer, sophisticated appearance
Coloured Concrete with Non-Slip Additive – Customizable aesthetics with safety-enhanced surface treatment
Spray-On Paving – Textured finish that mimics natural stone, provides excellent traction.
All options should include proper drainage slopes and UV-resistant sealers to withstand Bundaberg’s intense sun, humidity, and occasional flooding.

Our Garage Slab Installation Process
Ready to discuss your garage slab project? Call us today for expert advice.
Site Preparation and Ground Compaction: We excavate to the required depth, remove unsuitable material, and compact stable fill in layers. Proper drainage installation prevents water accumulation under your slab.
Reinforcement and Structural Integrity: Steel mesh (SL82) or reinforcing bar gets positioned according to engineering specifications. The reinforcement placement directly affects your slab’s load-bearing capacity and prevents cracking over time.
Concrete Pouring and Finishing: We use concrete mixes designed for garage applications and pour to exact thickness specifications. The levelling and screeding process creates a smooth finish for vehicle traffic and roller door operation.
Curing and Final Quality Checks: Proper curing time builds strength into your concrete slab. We verify the level across the entire surface and conduct final inspections before handover to guarantee quality.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Slabs
A standard single or double-garage slab takes 1-2 days from start to finish. We excavate and prepare the site on day one, then pour and finish the concrete on day two. The slab needs a minimum of 7 days of curing time before you can drive on it, with full strength reached after 28 days.
Most garage slabs require council approval as part of your overall garage construction. We can advise on the requirements for your specific property and help coordinate with your builder to meet Bundaberg Regional Council specifications.
Garage slabs need to be perfectly level for roller doors to operate properly, while driveways have a slight slope for drainage. Garage slabs also typically use thicker concrete and heavier reinforcement because vehicles sit stationary in one spot, creating concentrated weight loads.
We assess each cracked slab individually. Minor surface cracks can often be repaired with resurfacing, but slabs with major structural cracks or significant settlement usually need replacement. We provide honest recommendations based on your slab’s condition.
Garage slab costs vary based on size, thickness, reinforcement requirements, and site conditions. We provide free quotes after inspecting your site and discussing your specific needs. Contact us for accurate pricing on your project.
All concrete can develop minor hairline cracks as it cures and settles. We minimise cracking risk through proper ground preparation, adequate reinforcement, correct concrete mix, and proper curing. Our slabs are engineered to perform for decades without significant cracking.
