Common Questions About Residential Concrete in Canberra
For Canberra driveways, we recommend exposed aggregate concrete. It combines superior durability with aesthetic appeal, resists extreme temperature variations, and requires minimal maintenance while providing excellent traction and longevity in residential applications.
For Canberra’s climate, with its extreme temperature fluctuations, we recommend 100-120mm thickness for residential driveways. This depth provides optimal structural integrity against our freeze-thaw cycles while supporting the weight of multiple vehicles common in Forrest and Yarralumla homes.
Yes, especially in Canberra, where we experience significant temperature variations. We utilise thicker concrete with properly placed expansion joints specifically designed for our local climate to minimise cracking while maintaining the aesthetic appeal preferred by our high-end homeowners.
Absolutely. Canberra’s clay-based soils require proper drainage foundations. We install a compacted gravel base beneath all our premium residential concrete to prevent moisture-related issues and ensure longevity.
While possible, we don’t recommend DIY concrete for Canberra’s premium homes. Our extreme temperature variations require specialised knowledge of expansion joints, reinforcement placement, and curing techniques to achieve the durability and aesthetic quality expected in Forrest and Red Hill properties.
