What concreting costs
Across Australia, concreting typically runs $2,888 – $8,813 for concrete driveway, and $1,228 – $4,828 for paths & patios.
Local prices vary, so these are typical Australia-wide ranges, not a quote for South Australia. What you'll pay comes down to the size of the job, the condition of what's being worked on, and the finish you choose. Get a few quotes to see your exact number. It's free.
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.
Cooler Months Give Better Results
Summers in most of South Australia are warm enough to affect concreter work — materials can dry or cure too quickly on the hottest days. Your tradie will plan their work around the temperature — prep and shade-side work in the heat, application when conditions are right.
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.
