Our Services
A strong, long-lasting concrete surface starts with proper site preparation and accurately constructed formwork. At Planet Concrete, we provide complete preparation and formwork services across Auckland, ensuring your project has the right foundations before concrete is placed. Our team can manage the key preparation works required for your concrete project, including excavation, site clearing, levelling, basecourse placement and compaction, boxing, reinforcement preparation and setting out. We take the time to prepare each site correctly, allowing for accurate levels, falls, drainage and finished dimensions. Whether you’re preparing a residential driveway, patio, pathway, pool area or a larger development, our experienced team works to the project requirements and specifications. By combining careful preparation with quality workmanship, we help ensure the concrete is placed on a stable, well-prepared base and finished to the required levels and dimensions.
Proper site preparation and formwork are essential to achieving a strong, durable and accurately finished concrete surface. A well-prepared base provides stability and helps minimise settlement and cracking, while correctly installed formwork ensures the concrete is placed to the required levels, dimensions and falls. By getting these critical stages right from the beginning, we help ensure your concrete project performs well and maintains its appearance for years to come.
Our formwork is accurately set out, securely installed and carefully checked to achieve the required dimensions, levels and falls for each project. Quality formwork ensures the concrete is contained correctly during placement and delivers clean, precise edges and a professional finished result.
We prepare each site by clearing, excavating and levelling the area to the required depth before installing and compacting the appropriate basecourse. Careful preparation ensures a stable, well-compacted foundation that provides the right conditions for durable, high-quality concrete.
Our team carefully sets out each project to the required dimensions, levels and falls before installing accurately aligned and securely fixed formwork. The subgrade is then prepared, compacted and checked to ensure the base, reinforcement and formwork are ready for concrete placement in accordance with the project specifications.

Answers to the most common questions about our concrete services, process, and timelines.
A professionally designed and installed concrete driveway can typically last 25–30 years or more with proper construction and regular maintenance. Its lifespan depends on factors such as ground preparation, concrete strength, reinforcement, drainage, traffic loads and ongoing maintenance, including sealing where appropriate.
Concrete begins to harden within the first 24–48 hours, allowing light foot traffic in most cases. However, it continues to gain strength over time, with full curing typically taking around 28 days. During this period, we recommend following our aftercare guidance to ensure the best long-term performance and durability.
From driveways to commercial slabs, we deliver quality workmanship, reliable scheduling, and finishes built to last.
