Concrete & Paving Specialists Auckland

Choosing the right specialist matters

Concrete and paving are long-term investments. Surface failures, cracks or poor drainage can undermine the look and value of your project. A seasoned Auckland specialist will plan for local soil conditions, coastal weather and Council compliance, ensuring your driveway or terrace stands up to years of use and UV exposure.

Where concrete & paving shine

• Driveways: Durable access that boosts street appeal.
• Patios & courtyards: Seamless indoor–outdoor flow.
• Pool surrounds: Slip-resistant finishes that stay cool underfoot.
• Commercial forecourts: Heavy-duty surfaces for high traffic.

Popular finishes in Auckland

Exposed aggregate: Reveals decorative stone for texture and anti-slip performance.
Coloured & stamped concrete: Mimics stone or brick at lower cost.
Permeable pavers: Reduce storm-water run-off—often welcomed by Council.
Polished concrete: Low-maintenance sheen for garages and commercial entries.

Cost guide (indicative)

• Standard broom-finish concrete driveway: $110–$160 /m²
• Exposed aggregate or coloured concrete: $150–$220 /m²
• Paver installation (mid-range clay or concrete): $180–$260 /m²

Final pricing varies with site access, excavation depth, steel reinforcement, drainage, sealer choice and any decorative cuts.

Key questions to ask before you sign

• Do you handle consent and utility locates?
• What base preparation and compaction testing do you carry out?
• Which mix design meets NZ concrete design standards for my load requirements?
• How do you control expansion joints and crack formation?
• What is the warranty on workmanship and sealers?

Project timeline

1-2 days: Site scrape, boxing and formwork.
Day 3: Concrete pour or paver bedding.
Day 4-5: Curing, sealing, clean-up.
Complex patterns or large slabs may require staged pours and 28-day curing before heavy vehicle use.

Working with other trades

Co-ordinate electricians for gate conduits and plumbers for drainage before the slab is poured. Landscapers can finish planting and edging once hard surfaces are cured. Using an ArchiPro professional streamlines scheduling because many manage sub-trades in-house.
