Expert Concrete Contractors Highfields - Specialists in Elevated Terrain

Absolutely! We’re based right here in Highfields, and this is our primary service area. We cover all of Highfields, including Cedar Grove, Highfields Springs, and the rural residential areas along Highfields Fall Road. We also service nearby suburbs like Meringandan, Cranley, and parts of Toowoomba within our 15km radius. Being local means we can offer same-day quotes and rapid response times that external contractors simply can’t match.

We offer a full range of decorative concrete finishes perfect for Highfields homes. Our most popular options include exposed aggregate (great for our climate), stamped concrete that mimics natural stone or pavers, and polished concrete for a modern look. We also do colored concrete, brushed finishes, and decorative sawcut patterns. Each finish is selected based on your home’s style and our local weather conditions to ensure it looks great and lasts for years.

Getting a quote is simple – just give us a call or fill out our online form, and we’ll schedule a free on-site consultation, usually within 24-48 hours. We determine costs based on the project size, concrete thickness required, any site preparation needed (especially important on Highfields’ sloped blocks), the type of finish you want, and accessibility of your property. We provide detailed written quotes with no hidden costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Proper site preparation is crucial, especially here in Highfields with our clay soils. For shed slabs, we start by excavating to the correct depth, then compact the soil and add a layer of crushed rock for drainage. We install proper formwork and reinforcement steel to handle our soil movement. On sloped blocks, we may need extra drainage or retaining work. We handle all the preparation work ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about coordinating multiple contractors.

Concrete reaches about 70% of its strength in the first week, but full strength takes about 28 days. In Highfields’ climate, we can usually remove forms after 24-48 hours, and you can walk on most surfaces after 3-7 days, depending on the weather. For driveways, we recommend waiting at least 7 days before driving on them. We time our pours to take advantage of optimal weather conditions and will give you specific guidelines for your project.

Yes, sealing is essential for decorative concrete, especially with our Queensland weather. We recommend sealing exposed aggregate and stamped concrete within 6-12 months of installation, then resealing every 2-3 years, depending on exposure and use. We use high-quality sealers that enhance the appearance while protecting against UV rays, water penetration, and staining. We can handle the initial sealing and provide maintenance reminders for future applications.
