Overview
Garden paths, side passages and footpath repairs.
Concrete paths are often the last thing people think about in an outdoor renovation, and then the first thing they notice when the job is done. A cleanly edged, properly finished path along the side of a house or through a garden changes the feel of the whole property.
In Perth, paths handle a lot of foot traffic, intense summer heat, and occasional heavy rain. Getting the drainage falls right and selecting the correct surface finish for the application keeps them looking good and safe to walk on for 25+ years.
We pour concrete paths, side passages, garden walkways, alfresco connections, public footpath reinstatement, across the full Perth metro. Below is what is involved and what the job costs.

What to watch for
Things most concreters won't tell you.
After 30+ years on the tools, here's the stuff we wish every client knew before they signed a quote.
Worth knowing
Council footpath reinstatement in Perth
If you have had plumbing, drainage or NBN works that cut through the council footpath, the reinstatement is your responsibility (or the contractor who did the work). We do council footpath reinstatements across the Perth metro, the finish and materials need to match existing council specifications.
Pro tip
Mark your reticulation before we arrive
If you have reticulation on a manual or timer system, run it the morning before we arrive so you can mark any sprinkler heads with small flags. We will work around them. It saves a lot of digging and repair later.
Pro tip
Mark utility services before the job
If you have reticulation, power, or drainage under the path run, mark the approximate lines with paint or flags before we arrive. Dial Before You Dig logs services via database, but for existing residential reticulation, the homeowner knows the run better than any database.
From the crew
“A path should not be an afterthought. It is the thing people walk on every day, get the drainage fall wrong and you have built a puddle trap. We look at that stuff during the quote.”
What's included
Every concrete pathways job includes:
This is what comes as standard on every quote. No surprises, no upsells halfway through the pour.
Read: Concrete cure time in Perth summer- ✓Access is the biggest variable, a side passage with a narrow gate requires manual barrow placement rather than pump
- ✓Obstacles like air-conditioning units, downpipes or garden beds all take extra time to form around cleanly
- ✓We leave the site clean, excess concrete and formwork timber are taken with us
