Concrete Solutions Built to Last

Newly poured concrete driveway with clean broom finish

Driveways & House Surrounds

    From standard concrete to decorative options, we ensure proper preparation, drainage, and finishing so your driveway performs as well as it looks.

Reviews

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Outstanding Service

    Ted Hurley from Dark horse concreting was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, he was an absolute gentleman who went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled perfectly. His professionalism was outstanding, and his attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right truly stood out.

    I honestly couldn’t fault him in any way. It’s rare to come across someone so reliable, respectful, and dedicated to delivering excellent service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ted and dark horse concreting to anyone looking for top-quality workmanship and a genuinely great experience.

    Hi Ted!
    Thanks for doing a wonderful job! Not just the job is good, but we appreciate your clear , polite and professional communication right from day one when you visited us for the quote. You took time to understand our requirements and worked towards our idea for our yard. You were very knowledgeable about the drainage by looking at the awkward sloping fence at our back yard boundary (shared with high set neighbours and sloping down to low set neighbours). You knew exactly how drainage should work and you coordinated with our plumber and worked according to both of your schedule, doing a great multitasking team work. The best thing about you was the time commitment- you started exactly when you committed and finished the work with no delays- a trait very hard to find in tradies these days!!! Couldn’t recommend Ted highly enough!
