Greenhills Beach is one of the Shire's newest suburbs, built through the 2010s on the sand behind Wanda Beach. The homes are large and modern, and most came with wide exposed aggregate driveways from day one. Concreting here is less about replacing old concrete and more about extending, matching and maintaining relatively young concrete on sandy ground.
We are a referral service, not a concreting business. We connect you with experienced, insured local concreters who know the suburb and its sand base.
Common concreting jobs in Greenhills Beach
Typical requests include extending a driveway or hardstand for a boat or caravan, pouring slabs for cabanas and outdoor rooms, pool surrounds and patios in finishes that match the existing aggregate, and occasional repairs where a surface has worn or a section has settled. Matching an existing exposed aggregate blend is a skill in itself, so ask to see a sample before the pour.
How the process works
Describe the job, and mention the existing finish if matching matters to you. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Greenhills Beach, and they call you back with a quote. The referral is free.
On sand, preparation is everything. A proper quote should cover compaction and base work, not just the concrete on top. Sand drains well but needs to be compacted correctly so new slabs do not settle at the edges.
What concreting costs in Greenhills Beach
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Most work in this suburb is decorative to match what is already there, so budget toward the upper range.
The NSW licensing rule applies as everywhere. Residential concreting work worth more than $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) must be done by a licensed contractor. Check the licence and insurance first.
Frequently asked questions
Can new concrete match my existing exposed aggregate driveway?
Usually it can get close. The aggregate blend and cement colour can be matched from suppliers, though some variation between pours is normal. A sample panel takes the guesswork out.
Is building on sand a problem for slabs?
Not when it is prepared properly. Compacted sand is actually a stable base. The risk is skipping compaction, which is why the base work should be itemised in your quote.
