Rework and refresh
Rear slabs, paths and drives in West Bendigo
Established homes often need their hard surfaces reworked.

Established homes
Practical concrete for older blocks
West Bendigo homes frequently need paths, drives and rear areas reworked. Often the challenge is fitting new concrete into an established garden, with existing levels, trees and fences already in place.
The best results come from a short, careful site visit. Measuring falls, checking for roots and agreeing finished heights up front avoids awkward steps and puddles later.
The best results in an older block come from a short, careful site visit. Measuring falls, checking for roots and agreeing finished heights up front avoids awkward steps and puddles later, especially where concrete has to fit around established gardens, fences and trees.

Choosing a rear surface
Plain concrete or pavers out the back?
Both suit a rear yard. The right one depends on use.
Both poured concrete and concrete pavers suit a rear yard, and the right choice depends on use. Poured slabs give a seamless, strong surface for vehicles; pavers can be lifted for access to pipes. Our concrete pavers page explains the base and edge details that keep them level.
Concrete pavers
- Easy to lift for pipe access
- Pattern and colour options
- Needs good edge restraint
Our take: Pavers suit areas above services. Poured concrete suits driveways and heavy use.
Simple plan
Reworking a rear yard in four steps
A sensible order saves time and mess.
Reworking a rear yard goes smoothly when it follows an order: measure and mark, clear and prepare, pour and finish, then seal and tidy. Planning this sequence also helps you decide what to keep, such as established plantings, and what to replace.
- 1
Measure and mark
Outline the area and note falls and levels.
- 2
Clear and prepare
Remove old surfaces and prepare the base.
- 3
Pour and finish
Concrete is placed, finished and joints cut.
- 4
Seal and tidy
Seal if wanted and reinstate borders.
West Bendigo concrete questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers to help you plan your next step.
Have a project in mind?01Can concrete be poured around established trees in West Bendigo?
Yes, with care. Excavation is kept clear of main roots, joints are planned to allow movement and the design may bridge over sensitive areas. Mention trees in your enquiry so they can be assessed during the site visit.
02How do I stop a new path creating puddles?
Falls are set during the pour so water drains toward the lawn or a drain. Describing where water collects now helps your concreter plan the levels so the new path sheds water rather than holding it.
03Should I choose pavers or poured concrete for a rear patio?
Pavers allow lifting for access to services and offer pattern options. Poured concrete gives a seamless surface with fewer joints to maintain and is stronger for vehicles. The choice depends on what is underneath and how the space will be used.
