Frequently Asked Questions on Residential Concrete
How long before you can drive on concrete in Australia?
We recommend waiting 7 days before placing furniture and 28 days before driving vehicles on the surface. Our local humidity levels can affect curing times, so we provide specific guidelines tailored to each project.
Can you fix cracks in exposed aggregate concrete?
Absolutely! There's no need to replace it when you can repair it. Our concrete resurfacing services can effectively fix cracks in exposed aggregate and other concrete surfaces at a fraction of replacement costs.
Is exposed aggregate stronger than concrete?
Exposed aggregate isn't separate from concrete—it's a decorative finish where we reveal the stones within the concrete mix. This creates a textured, non-slip surface ideal for pool surrounds while maintaining the structural integrity of standard concrete. The exposed stones can enhance durability in high-traffic areas.
How thick should a residential concrete driveway be?
Proper thickness is crucial for residential driveways in Newcastle. During our site preparation phase, we ensure the concrete formwork is structured to provide adequate thickness based on your specific usage needs.
Can I pour concrete over damaged concrete?
Yes, we can often resurface damaged concrete rather than completely replace it. Our concrete resurfacing services can revitalise cracked, stained, or damaged surfaces at a significantly lower cost than replacement.
What happens if you don't seal exposed aggregate concrete?
Unsealed exposed aggregate concrete in Newcastle's coastal environment may experience premature wear, colour fading, and potential damage from salt air exposure.
What are the Australian standards for concrete driveways in Newcastle?
Newcastle driveways must comply with AS 3727 (for residential pavements) and local council requirements. This includes a minimum thickness of 100mm for residential driveways, proper reinforcement mesh, and expansion joints every 3-4 meters to accommodate our region's soil movement. Newcastle Council also has specific requirements for crossovers to public footpaths, which we're familiar with.
When should concrete be watered in Newcastle's climate?
Depending on temperature and humidity levels, we typically begin mist-curing concrete about 2-4 hours after finishing. Concrete needs to be cleaned earlier and more frequently misted during hot summer days.
