Site Preparation for Perfect Concrete Results

Before you get the perfect pour, you need the perfect base. That’s where we come in.

At Dalmatian Concreters, site preparation is part of nearly every job we take on. Why? Because doing things properly from the start is how we deliver high-quality, long-lasting concrete surfaces for our clients every time.

Whether it’s a new driveway, a pathway, or an alfresco space – we always start by getting the site right.

Done right, site prep increases durability, minimises movement and cracking, and ensures a clean finish. Done wrong, it can lead to costly fixes down the line. That’s why we don’t cut corners and we never leave it up to chance.

Our quote includes everything from rubble, labour, equipment, and even concrete disposal. Others might leave this out or rush the job. We don’t.

Think it’s cheaper to dig out your old concrete yourself? Think again.

A typical driveway can produce 12–20 tonnes of concrete and that’s just the start of the job. Between hiring tools, arranging disposal, and doing the heavy lifting, you could be out more time and money than you planned.

With Dalmatian, it’s sorted. No mess, no drama, no double handling.

For most standard residential jobs, site prep takes 1–2 days, depending on the site access and scope of the job. We’ll always give you clear timelines upfront, and you’ll be updated every step of the way.
