Concreting websites that show the finish.
Concrete is bought on a visible finish and an AUD per-square-metre from-rate. Driveway and floor quotes go to the crew whose own pour is on the page next to a number the owner can multiply by their slab size.
// the problem
Gaps the written scope can address for concreting & decorative concrete businesses.
Stock grey instead of your pour
Decorative concrete is tactile. A raking-light photo of your own exposed aggregate driveway at golden hour, or a honed and sealed floor, is the one asset a competitor cannot fake. A library slab tells the buyer this might not even be your work. Finish, pebble blend and suburb belong in the caption, not in an album titled 'gallery'.
Five finishes competing on one homepage
Exposed aggregate and Geostone decorative blends, polished and honed floors, plain grey slabs and shed pads, alfresco and patio pours, commercial hardstand. Each one is a different buyer, mix and search. A single 'we do concreting' page cannot carry a Dalkeith driveway, a Baldivis shed pad and a Welshpool hardstand at once.
Quote-only pages lose the m2 shopper
Buyers already have a slab size and they search 'exposed aggregate driveway cost per m2 Perth' or 'polished concrete floors per square metre'. They bounce off a silent form to whoever published an AUD from-rate they can multiply. That figure does not have to be the final quote. It has to be a number on the page that earns the call, with the extras (steel, colour oxide, sealer, demolition) listed as what moves it.
No honest line on cracking
All concrete cracks. Sites that hide that, or skip control joints, saw cuts and curing, lose the careful owner to the crew that says what is actually controlled. In WA, Building Services Board contractor registration applies when the work is builder work over the current value threshold. Public liability and a written workmanship position on joints belong next to the from-rate, not in a footer PDF.
Concrete is bought on what the buyer can see, then on a number they can multiply. They type “exposed aggregate driveway cost per m2 Perth” or “polished concrete floors Floreat” with a slab size already in mind, and they shortlist the crew whose own pour is on the page next to an AUD from-rate. Exposed aggregate and Holcim Geostone blends are one buyer: outdoor, pebble and oxide, a driveway they will look at every day. Polished or honed floors are another: grind, densifier, sealer, often inside, a different search and a different photo. Grey slabs and shed pads are thickness, mesh and MPa. Alfresco wants falls to a drain and a surface that is not a skating rink when wet. Commercial hardstand is a spec, not a Pinterest finish. A homepage that says “we do concreting” with a stock grey slab makes all five of those jobs compete, and lose, against a specialist page that only had to be honest about one mix.
The photo has to be the pour. Raking light across your own aggregate at the end of the day, a honed floor that actually reflects, a shed pad with the mesh and thickness visible in the pour shot, captioned with the suburb and the blend. Library concrete is the fastest way to look like a labour hire crew. Next to that photo belongs a from-rate in AUD per square metre, and the list of what moves it: demolition of the old slab, colour oxide, pebble choice, extra steel, sealer, tight access down a Dalkeith side path, a night pour in January heat. Owners already have the length and width from a tape or a builder’s plan. They will not wait on a quote form to do the multiplication if a competitor has already done it for them. Perth summer pours set fast. Winter pours sit. The page that mentions curing, hot-weather placing and joint layout sounds like it has been on a deck. The page that does not, does not.
Cracking is the conversation the careful owner is already having in the search bar. All concrete cracks. Control joints and saw cuts are how that movement is directed. Hairline shrinkage is not a failed slab, and a driveway with no joints in a Baldivis estate is how you inherit someone else’s complaint. Say that on the site, point to AS 2870 where residential slabs and footings apply, and write the workmanship position in the same register as the from-rate. Building Services Board contractor registration belongs on the page when you are contracting builder work over the threshold, including Class 10a sheds and garages. When you are pouring under another builder’s permit, say that instead of borrowing a number. Public liability and, where you hold it, Certificate III in Concreting, sit beside the finish photos. That is the shortlist test for a decorative driveway in Dalkeith and a hardstand in Kewdale. It is not a template trade homepage with the word concrete swapped in.

What concreting & decorative concrete businesses ask us first.
- Should I publish exposed aggregate cost per m2 on my website?
- Yes, as a from-rate in AUD per square metre, not as a fixed price for every driveway in Perth. Owners already have a length and width and they will multiply whatever number they can find. State what the from-rate includes (prep, mesh, pour, wash, sealer) and what moves it: demolition, colour, pebble blend, falls, steel, access. A silent quote form sends that search to the crew who put a figure next to a photo of their own aggregate.
- Do I need separate pages for polished floors and decorative driveways?
- Yes, because they are different buyers. Exposed aggregate and Geostone blends are outdoor, visual, and searched with 'driveway' and a suburb. Polished or honed floors are interior, often a grind-densify-seal conversation, and searched with 'polished concrete floors'. Grey slabs and shed pads are a thickness and MPa decision. Alfresco needs falls and a surface you can wet. Hardstand is a commercial spec. One homepage cannot rank for all of them.
- How do I talk about cracking without talking customers out of the job?
- Say it in plain language on the page: all concrete cracks, control joints and saw cuts are how that movement is directed, and hairline shrinkage is not the same as a structural failure. Point to AS 2870 for residential slabs and footings where it applies, and say how you place joints, cure in Perth summer heat, and what the workmanship position actually covers. Owners who have been burned by a slab with no joints are looking for that paragraph. Hiding it makes you look like the last crew.
- Do I need to be a registered builder to advertise concreting in WA?
- Building Services Board contractor registration is required for builder work over the current value threshold (including the separate threshold that applies to Class 10a sheds and garages). Plenty of driveway and patio pours sit under that line, or sit under a registered builder on a housing contract. Publish the registration when you hold it and are contracting direct. Do not put a builder number on the site if you are pouring as a trade under someone else's permit. Public liability still belongs on the page either way.
- Is Geostone worth its own page or just a mention?
- Give Holcim Geostone, and any other decorative blend you actually pour, its own page if that is a real product lane. Owners search the product name the same way they search exposed aggregate. A paragraph buried under 'decorative concrete' will not catch 'Geostone driveway Perth'. Show your own pour in that blend, the pebble and oxide options you offer, and a per-m2 from-rate. Skip the page if you have never ordered the mix.
