Creative Concrete Solutions
At Darlington Landscaping, we provide concreting in Dubbo that combines durability with design. From simple slabs to decorative finishes, concrete is the backbone of many outdoor spaces, giving you strong, practical surfaces that tie your landscape together. Our crew handles driveways, patios, walkways and pool surrounds, with options ranging from exposed aggregate to coloured and patterned concrete for a custom look.
With the right preparation, including excavation and base work using our own equipment, we ensure that every pour is done right. The result is a surface that looks sharp, lasts long and suits your lifestyle.
Finishes to Match Your Style
Choose from exposed aggregate, coloured, stamped or plain concrete. Each option is tailored to suit your property, adding both function and style to outdoor areas.
Reliable Foundations
We don’t cut corners. Every slab starts with proper site prep, compaction and formwork to ensure stability, drainage and a finish that won’t crack or shift.
Efficient & Equipped
With our own excavator and experienced crew, we handle all preparation and pouring in-house. That means no delays, no pass-offs, just concrete work completed efficiently and to a high standard.
Practical Concrete for Every Project
Every concreting project begins with the right groundwork. We excavate, compact and prepare the base before pouring, ensuring your surface has the strength to handle daily use without issues like sinking, cracking or poor drainage. This preparation is what makes the difference between a short-term fix and a reliable investment.
Our team can create functional concrete slabs, stylish decorative finishes and practical surrounds that fit the look and purpose of your space. With the right equipment and a skilled crew, we deliver concrete work that’s both tough and tidy. Call 0421 883 376 to book your concreting project today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of concrete is best for driveways?
For driveways, standard 25 MPa concrete is commonly used in Australia, offering a good balance of strength and affordability. If the driveway will handle heavy vehicles, a higher-strength mix like 32 MPa may be better. You can also choose finishes like exposed aggregate for a non-slip, decorative surface or coloured concrete for curb appeal. A properly mixed, poured and cured slab is key to long-term durability under traffic and changing weather.
How long does concrete take to cure before use?
Concrete typically takes 24 to 48 hours to set enough for foot traffic, but you should wait at least 7 days before driving on it. Full curing takes about 28 days, during which the concrete continues to gain strength. Avoid placing heavy loads or dragging objects across it during this period. Keeping the surface moist during the first few days helps prevent cracking and ensures a stronger, longer-lasting finish.
What causes cracks in concrete and how can I prevent them?
Cracks in concrete can be caused by poor preparation, shrinkage as it dries, soil movement or extreme weather. To prevent them, start with a solid, well-compacted base. Use control joints to manage shrinkage and expansion, and keep the surface damp during early curing. Avoid pouring in very hot or dry conditions without precautions. Good planning, materials and technique make all the difference in keeping concrete looking neat and holding strong over time.
