Across Australia, concreting typically runs $2,888 – $8,813 for concrete driveway, and $1,228 – $4,828 for paths & patios.

Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a concreter.
Cyclone-Rated Materials Required
Most of Northern Territory is in a cyclone zone — all external installations need cyclone-rated fixings and mounting. Standard fixings aren't adequate for the wind loads here.
UV-Stable and Mould-Resistant Products Essential
Northern Territory's tropical climate means intense UV, high humidity, and heavy seasonal rain. Mould-resistant, UV-stable products aren't optional for exterior work here.
High Termite Activity
Most of Northern Territory has very high termite activity — annual inspections are essential, and any work involving timber or ground contact should factor in termite management.
What's in a good Concreting quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each concreter's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
