Byron Bay Concrete Driveways
We build solid, well-finished concrete driveways in Byron Bay, tailored to suit everything from family homes to rural properties and small commercial sites. At Shaka Concreting, every job starts with proper prep: we assess the site, excavate to the right depth, lay a compacted gravel base and build clean, level formwork. We reinforce the slab with mesh or rebar as needed, then pour and finish the concrete for a smooth, practical result that’s built to last.
We also offer driveway resurfacing as a cost-effective way to update worn-out concrete, with neat finishes and extra protection from water, stains and everyday wear. You can choose from a range of textures, aggregates, colours and finishes — whether you’re after a clean, modern look or something more decorative to complement your home. Call 0402 728 207 to get your driveway done right — fresh, durable and made to last.
Your Driveway, Your Way
A good driveway needs more than just strength — it should suit your space, your style and the way you live. We offer a practical mix of finishes to suit driveways big and small, whether you want something basic and functional or more refined. Plain concrete is a solid choice for rental properties and high-use areas. Exposed aggregate adds texture and visual interest, while coloured concrete can tie in with your home or landscaping. We’ll help you pick the right option based on use, traffic and budget.
Are you not sure where to start? We’ll walk you through the process and give you honest advice from day one. Call 0402 728 207 to chat.
How long should I wait before driving on a new concrete driveway?
You should wait at least 7 days before driving a standard car on a new concrete driveway, and ideally 28 days for full strength. Concrete gains most of its strength within the first week, but continues to cure and harden for several weeks after the pour. If you drive on it too soon, you risk causing surface damage or deeper structural issues like cracking and sinking. For heavier vehicles or high-traffic areas, extending that wait time is even more important.
Can a concrete driveway be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Yes, resurfacing is often a cost-effective way to restore a concrete driveway without a full replacement. It involves applying a new layer of concrete or a polymer-based overlay on top of the existing surface. This process works well for driveways that are structurally sound but have surface-level wear, stains or shallow cracks. Before resurfacing, the slab must be thoroughly cleaned, any cracks repaired and a bonding agent applied to ensure proper adhesion. You can also customise the resurfacing layer with colour, patterns or texture to refresh the look.
What’s the best finish for a concrete driveway?
The best finish depends on your needs, but broom finishes and exposed aggregate are two of the most popular choices. A broom finish adds grip with a textured surface, making it ideal for sloped driveways or areas exposed to rain. Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stones in the mix, giving a decorative look with built-in slip resistance. Coloured concrete is also an option if you’re after a particular style, and sealing the finish can help extend the life and appearance of your driveway.
