WHAT WE BUILD:
A concrete patio is the outdoor living area where you entertain, dine and relax — an alfresco under the roofline, a freestanding entertaining area in the yard, or a courtyard between spaces. Every patio sits on a properly based, reinforced concrete slab, but the patio is defined by its finish and how well it connects to the house and garden. That’s where the value is: a patio that looks and feels like an extension of your living space, not just a grey pad.
Alfresco areas
— the covered outdoor room under your home’s roofline or a pergola.
Freestanding entertaining areas
— a standalone patio in the yard for dining and BBQs.
Pool-side patios
— non-slip surrounds that tie the pool area together.
Courtyards & connecting areas
— smaller paved spaces linking house, garden and paths.
PATIO FINISHES
The finish is what turns a slab into a patio — and where most of the decision sits:
- Exposed aggregate — textured, non-slip and premium; the most popular patio finish.
- Honed / grind-and-seal — a smooth, polished-look finish; well suited to alfresco and covered areas (not driveways, for slip reasons).
- Coloured — oxide tinted through the mix to match your home or landscaping.
- Plain broom finish — the practical, cost-effective option with reliable grip.

HOW WE BUILD A PATIO
- Set out & excavate — mark the area, dig to depth, set levels to meet the house and garden.
- Base & compaction — compacted crushed-rock base and a vapour barrier under the slab.
- Formwork, steel & falls — form the edges, lay reinforcement, and set falls so water drains away from the house.
- Pour & finish — pour, screed level, then apply the chosen finish (exposed, honed, coloured, broom) and cut control joints.
- Cure & seal — cure properly, then seal decorative finishes to protect and enrich them.
WHAT DOES A CONCRETE PATIO COST IN MELBOURNE?
Patio cost depends on the area, the finish, site access and whether it needs to tie into existing levels or structures — a plain freestanding patio is very different to an exposed aggregate alfresco graded to meet the house. Decorative finishes cost more than plain concrete, and you can see how the finishes compare on price in our concrete cost guide. We give a free on-site fixed-price quote so you know the real number before committing.
DRAINAGE & INDOOR-OUTDOOR FLOW
A good patio does two things a bad one doesn’t: it drains, and it connects. We grade every patio with the correct falls so water runs away from the house rather than pooling or pushing back toward the building. And we set the levels so the patio meets your threshold cleanly — that seamless step from inside to out is what makes an alfresco feel like part of the home instead of an afterthought. Getting levels and falls right at set-out is what separates a patio that works from one that floods or trips people up.

FAQ
How much does a concrete patio cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the area, the finish and site access. A plain patio costs less than an exposed aggregate or honed alfresco. We give a free on-site fixed-price quote with the real figure.
What's the best finish for a patio?
Exposed aggregate is the most popular for its non-slip texture and looks. Honed or grind-and-seal suits covered alfresco areas for a smooth, polished look, while a broom or coloured finish is a cost-effective, practical choice. We match the finish to how you’ll use the space.
Can you match the patio to my house or existing concrete?
Yes — coloured concrete and finish choice let us tie the patio into your home’s colours or existing driveway, and we set the levels so it meets your threshold cleanly.
Does a patio need drainage?
Yes. We grade every patio with falls so rainwater runs away from the house, which prevents pooling and protects the building — it’s as important as the finish.
Can you build an alfresco under an existing pergola or roofline?
Yes — we work in to existing structures, setting out the slab and levels to suit the covered area and how it connects to the house.
