Orange Concreting provides comprehensive concreting services throughout Orange, NSW and the surrounding Central West region.

When working with us, you get a reinforced concrete base that is well prepared with good concrete mixes and compacted bases of gravel and rough rocks to support your concrete and prevent cracking in your slab. Your concrete base will have a fresh finish suited to your preference and cured well so that it can develop full strength over the next few weeks. There’s no need to worry about unreliable services that look terrible. You can expect a surface that will increase the curb appeal of your property as well as its resale value, and trust that your concrete surface will stay dependable throughout Orange’s different seasons and last anywhere from 30-50 years minimum.
Vehicles need a safe way to access your home or business. Concrete driveways provide daily access for vehicles entering and exiting your property. Because of that, they need to be durable enough to handle the constant traffic, heavy concentrated pressure, and the harsh seasonal temperatures that Orange has without the constant cracking and deterioration that brittle, weak driveways deal with. Our concrete driveway installation and repair services are catered for anyone in Orange needing a driveway installation for a new residential or commercial property, as well as home or business owners who need to fix up old driveways that are cracking or have issues on their concrete surface.
When working with us, our concrete contractors find out what sort of vehicles access your property as well as get an idea of your property layout, so we can prepare your site well and install a driveway suited to your needs. After digging out the soil where your driveway will sit, we add compacted roadbases that act as your concrete’s foundation and install mesh reinforcement that stays flexible when there is ground movement and prevents cracking. Once all that is done, we pour your concrete to fill up your driveway slab, take any excess concrete off the top and add the designated concrete finish you were after and fit your preferred texture. These high-quality concrete driveways handle the pressure from your cars to trucks, and shed water to prevent any pooling. You can know that your driveway will last over 30 years with a proper installation done.
Concrete Patios and Outdoor Areas
Concrete patios provide solid, low-maintenance outdoor spaces for your home or business, for clothes drying, outdoor relaxation, or even dining or entertainment. You can use these spaces for a variety of things, such as barbeques, fireplaces, and even outdoor furniture. Our concrete patio installation services are made for homeowners and families wanting outdoor entertainment or dining areas, or businesses who want to expand their operational space or boost customer experiences. Our concreting experts work with you during the initial site consultation to design your patios and maximise their usable space and exposure to the sun, preparing your site well and ensuring there is proper drainage away from your house. We do this by pouring concrete at a slight angle to allow for water to flow away from your house and whilst being at a flat enough gradient for families to feel comfortable in the space. Getting concrete patios is great as they don’t rot away as timber does, and are much more durable when poured correctly. They can handle foot traffic and any pressure from furniture without damage, provide a flat surface to clean, and is a permanent extension of your property.
Concrete slabs are a critical foundation base for your residential or commercial property to sit on. It requires precise installation, as everything that sits on it relies on a level, reinforced surface that needs to meet a set of engineering specifications. This service is essential for anyone looking to build a new property and needs a reliable, strong slab to serve as its foundation. Our concreting specialists will work through our assessment phase to look at engineering drawings from builders before starting site preparation. During site preparation, we excavate soil and ground from your land to certain depths, install reinforcement properly as engineered, then pour concrete down and screed the top. From there, we let your concrete cure properly over a couple of days before we can walk lightly on it, and cure for a month for full strength development. Any foundational slabs must be level for balanced wall construction and must be certifiably reinforced with a compacted base and strong rebars to prevent cracking from any ground movement in your soil. We make sure to pour slabs that are thick enough for your property’s use case so that your home or building is built on solid foundations, compliant with Australian Building Standards.
Other types of concrete slabs like shed, garage, or workshop slabs can also be handled by our concreters in Orange, QLD. We pour solid, level bases that can be used for workshops, storage buildings, garages, and other outbuildings. For these slabs, we ensure you’ve got permanent foundations to hold them steady and won’t become uneven and create internal pressure like dirt or gravel surfaces. If you’re looking to add a shed or garage to your property or set up a detached structure as a workshop or storage building, our concrete contractors will be able to help. Depending on your building size and what you are using it for, we’ll pour concrete for your space at certain depths suited for your use, 75 - 100mm for standard sheds and thicker slabs for heavier vehicles or equipment, install proper rebars and mesh for reinforcement and ensure proper drainage for moisture that goes onto your floor. Our team does a great job of this to ensure usability and stability for your slab, which will serve as a solid foundation for any equipment, vehicles, or activities you’ll be having in the area.
Concrete Pathways and Footpaths
Concrete pathways give you permanent walking surfaces that are safe and don’t get muddy or overgrown. A concrete path can connect to different parts of your property and serve as a route throughout parks and streets. If you’re a homeowner needing a concrete footpath connecting your front yard to your backyard, the local council needing a sidepath parallel to a street, or a business needing a walkway for your property, our concreting services will be able to help you. When designing your paths, our concrete experts in Orange will look at what you need the pathways for and where they are located; we usually design them between 90 and 120cm wide. We also ensure they have designed drainage falls, smooth finishes, and gentle curves to allow for natural routes that suit certain landscapes like parks. Concrete pathways don’t require ongoing edging and weeding as gravel does, and won’t shift or settle like pavers. We provide wheelchair and walker accessibility and create low-maintenance pathways throughout your space.
Whatever concrete service you’re looking to get, Orange Concreting is here to deliver detail-oriented installations that you can trust. Whether a driveway, patio, slab, footpath, or just regular concrete repairs, you’ll see quality workmanship and genuine excellence from our contractors.

FAQs
How much is concrete per m² in NSW?
In regional NSW, the average cost for a professional concrete installation typically ranges from $100 to $160 per square meter.
- Plain Concrete: $100 – $120 per m²
- Reinforced Concrete: $120 – $150 per m² (Recommended)
- Decorative (Exposed Aggregate): $150 – $200+ per m²
Note: Prices in Orange may fluctuate slightly based on site accessibility and the distance the "ready-mix" truck has to travel from the plant.
Do concreters need a license in NSW?
Yes. In New South Wales, any person carrying out residential building work (including concreting) valued at more than $5,000 (incl. labor and materials) must hold a valid contractor license from NSW Fair Trading. Always check your contractor’s license number before signing a contract to ensure you are covered by Home Building Compensation insurance.
What is the 4-2-1 rule for concrete?
The 4-2-1 rule is a traditional ratio for mixing standard-strength concrete. It stands for:
- 4 parts Gravel (Aggregate)
- 2 parts Sand
- 1 part Cement
This ratio provides a solid balance of strength and workability. For structural slabs in Orange, however, most professionals use a pre-mixed 25MPa or 32MPa concrete from a local plant to ensure consistency against the local freeze-thaw cycles.
How much will a 20x20 concrete slab cost?
It depend if you're measure in feet or metres.
- 20ft x 20ft (~37m²): This is roughly a standard double-garage size. You can expect to pay between $4,000 and $6,000 for a reinforced slab.
- 20m x 20m (400m²): This is a massive industrial-sized slab. A professional pour of this scale would typically range from $45,000 to $65,000+, depending on the thickness and the amount of steel reinforcement required.
How high are concrete slabs?
"Height" usually refers to the thickness of the slab. Standards vary by the intended use:
- Patios/Footpaths: 75mm – 100mm thick.
- Residential Driveways/Sheds/Garages: 100mm - 150mm thick (with SL72 or SL82 mesh).
- Heavy Vehicle Industrial Slabs: Depends, but can exceed 200mm tohandle heavy machinery and poor soil conditions (Clay in Orange, NSW).
How far will a 20 kg bag of concrete go?
A standard 20 kg bag of pre-mixed concrete doesn't go very far! One 20 kg bag yields approximately 0.01 cubic meters of wet concrete.
To cover 1 m² at a standard depth of 100mm, you would need roughly 10 to 11 bags. If you are just doing a small patch or post-hole, a few bags are fine. For a full slab, ordering a truck is significantly more cost-effective. That's where our concreting services come in, to tackle larger scale jobs you've got.
