Concreting in Christchurch
Patios, paths and flatwork — boxed, poured and trowelled to a clean finish. Patio done and dusted.
“Patio done and dusted” is how we caption our pours, and the photos back it up: fresh grey slabs with the timber boxing still pegged out, yellow caps on the formwork pegs, then the finished trowelled surface sitting against ranch sliders and new fences. Concreting is half our working week.
What we pour
- Patios — outdoor living slabs off ranch sliders and living areas, finished smooth.
- Paths and side access — narrow pours boxed between house and fence, formed to falls.
- Flatwork and pads — shed bases, bin pads and general hard surfaces around new builds.
- Boxing and prep included — every pour gets its own pegged formwork, base prep and edge boards.
Boxing first, always
A good slab is decided before the truck arrives. Our photos show the stage most people never see: straight timber boxing pegged along both sides, yellow-capped pegs marking edge heights, heat-pump units and fence lines worked around, gravel and base material already down. Only when the formwork is true and the falls run away from the house does the concrete go in.
Finished to live on
The pour itself is screeded, floated and trowelled to the clean finish in our completed-patio photos — smooth underfoot, edges crisp against the timber boards, hi-vis vest hung on the fence because the crew is still on site checking it. Paths get the same treatment in miniature: the narrow side-yard pour boxed between white cladding and a new paling fence shows our standard even where nobody photographs it.
Concrete as part of the section
Patios rarely happen alone. The same jobs run through our site preparation first — scrape, channels, base — and finish with fences and lawns around the slab. One crew from formation to trowel finish means the falls, edges and levels all agree on the day and for years after.
