Can concrete be poured in Ballina's rainy climate?
Yes, but it requires careful planning. Ballina's frequent rainfall can disrupt the curing process and weaken the finished surface if not managed properly. Experienced concreters monitor forecasts closely and use covers or shelters to protect freshly poured slabs from excess moisture. Site preparation, water control and quick finishing techniques are key. When timed correctly, concrete can still be successfully poured and cured even in wetter conditions.
How do I maintain a concrete driveway or patio?
Regular cleaning, sealing and inspection can help extend the lifespan of concrete surfaces. Sweep away debris, wash with a hose or pressure cleaner, and remove stains promptly to prevent discolouration. Applying a concrete sealer every few years protects the surface from water, stains and UV exposure. Check for cracks or movement, especially after heavy rain, and repair minor damage early to avoid larger issues. Avoid harsh chemicals or de-icing salts, which can degrade the surface over time.
What finish should I choose for around a pool?
The best finish for pool surrounds should prioritise slip resistance, comfort underfoot and visual appeal. Exposed aggregate is a popular choice due to its textured, grippy surface and natural stone look. Coloured concrete offers customisation to match landscaping, while broom or trowel finishes provide subtle texture. Avoid overly smooth or shiny finishes, as these can become slippery when wet. Sealers designed for wet areas can help maintain both appearance and safety.
