Concrete vs. Other Patio Materials
For homeowners seeking the perfect balance of longevity, design options, and value, concrete consistently delivers superior results. Concrete patios typically last 30+ years with minimal maintenance, significantly outlasting wood decking, which requires replacement after 10-15 years and regular staining to prevent deterioration. While natural stone offers similar durability, it comes at a substantially higher cost and offers less design flexibility than concrete. Pavers provide a classic look but often require more maintenance as they can shift over time, creating uneven surfaces and allowing weeds to grow between them. Concrete’s exceptional weather resistance makes it ideal for Canberra’s climate extremes, withstanding scorching summers and winter frost without degradation. Installation time for concrete patios averages just 3-7 days, compared to the longer installation periods required for stone and pavers.
Durability and Maintenance
Our concrete patios are engineered to withstand the test of time while requiring minimal maintenance effort on your part. Concrete’s inherent strength allows it to bear heavy loads without damage, making it ideal for supporting outdoor furniture, BBQs, fire pits, and other patio features. Our installation techniques include appropriate reinforcement, proper subgrade preparation, and strategic placement of control joints that allow for natural expansion and contraction. The sealed surface of our concrete patios provides excellent protection against staining from food spills, fallen leaves, and even oil drips from outdoor cooking.
