South Hurstville is mostly family homes spread either side of King Georges Road. A fair amount of renewal is under way, with older houses making way for duplexes and knockdown rebuilds. Each new build tends to need fresh concrete from the kerb to the back fence, which is why driveways, garage slabs and crossovers come up so often in this suburb.
To be clear, we are not concreters. We are a referral service that connects you with experienced, insured local concreters who work on residential sites around South Hurstville.
Common concreting jobs in South Hurstville
On a new duplex or rebuild, the list usually looks something like this. A wide double driveway to serve two garages, a reinforced garage slab, side paths for bins and access, and a new crossover at the kerb. Owners who want the front to stand out sometimes pick exposed aggregate or coloured concrete for the driveway.
For established homes, the work is smaller but steady in nature, such as replacing a cracked driveway, levelling a sunken path or repairing damaged edges.
How the process works
Tell us about the job, and mention whether it is part of a new build or a stand-alone project. We pass it to a local concreter who services South Hurstville, and they call you back to organise a quote. You pay nothing for the referral.
If your project is a duplex, ask the quote to separate each dwelling's driveway and slab costs, so you can compare prices and plan any staged work.
What concreting costs in South Hurstville
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Larger double driveways can bring the per-square-metre rate down a little, while removing an old driveway first adds around $30 to $100 per square metre. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In NSW, residential concreting work worth more than $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) must be done by a licensed contractor. Always ask for the licence number and check it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Does a new crossover on King Georges Road need approval?
Crossovers generally need council approval wherever they are. South Hurstville is in Georges River Council, so check with them, especially on a busy main road where extra traffic rules may apply.
Can the driveway and garage slab be poured on the same day?
Sometimes, if the site is ready and the volumes suit. Many concreters prefer to pour them separately to keep finishing under control.
How thick should a garage slab be?
That depends on the design and soil. Your engineer or builder will usually specify it, and the concreter should follow those drawings.
