Whether your job is big or small, residential or industrial, simple or complex, or you just want some ideas and inspiration, we do it all. We provide high quality, cost-effective solutions for a range of construction projects, including concrete driveways, stonecrete patios and pathways, site preparation works, foundations and floors and even architectural features with speciality designer finishes like polished or sealed concrete.
From your free onsite assessment and quote to putting the finishing touches on each project, we work hard to provide a straightforward and stress-free process for every customer.
Concrete driveways are one of our specialties, and we offer a full range of services including site excavations and preparation beforehand.
Our team of expert concrete layers pride themselves on being creative when it comes to designing and constructing your project, and whether you own a small property or an industrial complex, Planet Concrete’s driveways are engineered to last for almost a lifetime.
Our team has the skills and experience to construct the foundation or floor of your new building project from start to finish, from excavating the site to pouring the concrete.
First, we’ll visit the property to understand your needs, perform a site assessment and talk with you about materials, looks and finishes. Once we’re aware of any elements that might require a special degree of care or additional planning, such as ground or polished finishes, we create a plan to deliver exactly the concrete foundation or floor you want. We are also licensed to sign off works according to local council requirements.
Form work and site preparation can be a hassle, especially if you need to arrange contractors for multiple different aspects of your project. Planet Concrete offers you a wide range of services when it comes to preparing your construction site, so you won’t need to stress over organising sub-contractors separately.
We pride ourselves on taking a creative approach to every project so we can bring your ideas to life in concrete. If you have a unique look, unusual site or architectural feature in mind, our team will work with you to design and formulate the appropriate mix suited for your construction project.
How does it work? First, we’ll produce samples of the mix and give you some options or customise it to achieve your desired look. Then, when you’re satisfied, we’ll produce a larger mix and get to work on your project.
Tiled looks are in popular demand on the concrete market. Our specialist concreters can achieve this look by cutting concrete into a grid pattern to create the illusion of tiles or large flagstones. 7mm or 10mm cuts are made in the concrete, then filled with a non-shrink grout to prevent the cuts from filling up with dirt and debris and complete the tiled look.
Planet Concrete has its own range of manufactured sealers that are suitable for most concrete and masonry applications. We take enormous care when creating sealed concrete finishes to ensure the finished product will be as durable as it is beautiful. This includes acid washing the aggregates to enable good adhesion of the sealants and to avoid unwanted limes and salts that can work their way up to the surface and give a dull white milky look finish.
Our experts blend high quality oxide pigments to make colours that can give any concrete slab a striking look and unique depth of colour.
Coloured concrete is used to create a range of designer finishes, including stonecrete, acid etched, trowel and brushed finishes, polished and ground concrete and precast panels and exposed aggregate mixes. You can choose from dozens of colours ranging from neutral earthy tones to rich grayscale tones, and conceptualise designs using cut concrete tiles and patterns.
Cost-effective and extremely versatile, our exposed and brushed finished concretes are in high demand on the market. Popular applications for exposed and plain concrete are footpaths, patios or pool surrounds, driveways, floors, roads and carparks.
For exposed surfaces, pebbles of various sizes and shapes or chip aggregates can be used to make the surface smoother and less aggressive for pedestrians.
Overlays are a great way to personalise concrete surfaces, create attractive features and help concrete designs blend with their surrounding environment.
Some of our custom mixes were developed by our very own founder and general manager, Justin, to weather the tough and temperamental New Zealand climate. Planet Concrete’s PC Crete is a high quality concrete overlay and resurfacing compound. You can choose from an extensive range of colours, patterns and textures, some of which are unachievable with other conventional concrete methods.
