Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Grinding And Polishing in Invermay
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Australia?
A standard concrete driveway costs $65–$150/m² depending on thickness, reinforcement, finish, and location. A double driveway of ~50m² typically costs $3,500–$7,500. Exposed aggregate and decorative finishes cost more than plain broom-finished concrete.
How thick should a concrete slab be for a driveway?
Residential driveways should be a minimum 100mm (4 inches) thick with SL72 or SL82 mesh reinforcement. For areas with heavy vehicles or truck access, 125–150mm with rebar reinforcement is recommended. Thicker slabs are needed for reactive soils.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches about 70% strength in 7 days and full strength at 28 days. Light foot traffic can resume after 24–48 hours. Vehicles should wait at least 7 days. In cold weather, curing slows significantly — your concretor may use curing compounds or covers.
What is exposed aggregate concrete?
Exposed aggregate concrete has the top layer of cement paste removed (by washing) to reveal the stones within the mix. It's popular for driveways, paths, and pool surrounds as it provides a decorative finish with natural slip resistance. It costs 15–25% more than plain concrete.
Why does concrete crack?
All concrete eventually cracks due to shrinkage, thermal movement, or ground movement. Control joints are deliberately placed every 3–4 metres to direct cracking. Cracks wider than 3mm or that are heaving or sinking indicate a structural issue requiring assessment.
What is the difference between concrete and cement?
Cement is an ingredient in concrete. Concrete is the final product made by mixing cement, sand, aggregate (gravel), and water. Portland cement is the most common binder. Ready-mix concrete (delivered by truck) is specified by strength grade — residential driveways typically use N20 or N25.
Do I need council approval for a concrete driveway?
In most councils, a driveway crossing (from street to property boundary) requires a crossing permit. The internal driveway on your property generally doesn't require approval, but check with your council. Kerb and channel work must be done by a council-approved contractor in most states.
Can you pour concrete in the rain?
Rain can dilute the surface of freshly poured concrete, weakening it and causing surface defects. Light drizzle during placement can be managed with covers; heavy rain during placement means work should stop. Fresh concrete should be protected from rain for at least 4–6 hours.
