Understanding Your Concrete Options: Not all concrete is created equal, especially in Queensland’s challenging climate. Here’s what Harlaxton property owners need to know:


Standard vs. Reinforced Concrete

  • Standard concrete works for light-duty applications like garden paths

  • Wet Season (October-March): We adjust our processes and scheduling to work safely around rainfall
