Best concreters in Morley & Midland (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated concreters working Morley, Midland and the northeast Perth suburbs, from the older, established streets of Bayswater, Maylands, Bassendean and heritage Guildford, through Morley, Noranda and Embleton, and out to the growth end around Midland, Midvale, Swan View and Ballajura. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Concreting is a service-area trade run off a ute, a bobcat and a concrete truck rather than a shopfront, so we checked the map pin on every operator and kept the list to firms genuinely based in and working this corridor, whether you need a new driveway, a shed or alfresco slab, a path, exposed aggregate, a pool surround, or a tired cracked slab pulled up and re-poured. One thing worth knowing up front: the Midland end of the search is thick with concrete supply yards and batching plants, and we have left those off, because a place that sells you the mix is not the crew that pours and finishes it. What follows is the genuine local placing crews, what concreting actually costs in WA in 2026, the difference between a plain, exposed-aggregate and liquid-limestone finish, the base prep and reinforcement that decide whether your slab lasts twenty years or cracks in two, the warning signs of a dodgy job, and a checklist to run before you pay a deposit.

Get a Featured spot ▸How we ranked these
- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every concreter’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps.
- Rating, weighted by volume. A 5.0 off one or two jobs isn’t proof yet, so we weight the score by review count. A proven rating from a solid base of clients counts for more than a perfect score from a handful. That weighting is also why Slab and Garden City, which carries the deepest review base on the page at 48, still sits at the foot: its 4.3 average is a touch behind the higher-rated names above it.
- Based in the corridor, verified on the map. Concreting is a mobile trade, so we checked the actual map location of every operator and kept the list to firms genuinely working the Morley, Midland, Bayswater and Bassendean catchment. We left off the big Perth-wide brands and the Osborne Park crews to the west, because a metro-wide star rating tells you little about the team that would actually turn up to your place out here.
- Suppliers are not concreters. The Midland area is a hub for concrete supply, so the map fills up with batching plants and yards like Midland Minicrete, Midland Cement Materials and Midland Sand & Soil. Those sell material, they don’t pour and finish your driveway, so we have excluded them. The list below is placing and finishing crews only.
- A focused, honest list. Once the suppliers and the metro-wide brands are stripped out, this corridor has a handful of genuine, review-backed concreters rather than dozens, so we’ve listed the real ones and not padded the page out to a round ten. Plenty of general builders also pour concrete, but the five here are the ones with a solid local Google record you can check yourself.
- Concreters, not unrelated trades. We also leave out concrete-cutting and coring subbies and resurfacing-only outfits with no pouring record, and anything sitting below a real rating and review bar.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.
Get Layed Decorative Concrete
A clean 5.0 across 5 reviews puts this Morley-based crew on top of the corridor. The review base is still building, so it’s a younger record than some, but every job on it has landed as five stars, and being genuinely local to Morley and Embleton means the team you read about is the team that turns up. As the name says, they lean toward decorative and exposed-aggregate finishes, the textured, stone-washed look that suits a driveway or alfresco you want to stand out, but they pour plain grey slabs and paths too. For homeowners around Morley, Noranda, Dianella and Bayswater weighing up a new driveway or a decorative pour, they’re a sound place to start the quoting. Read the reviews yourself, and get the base prep, thickness and finish spelled out in writing.
View listing & contact ▸All State Kerbing & Concrete
A 4.6 across 9 reviews is a solid, well-tested record for a local crew, and being based in Bayswater puts them right in the middle of this corridor. Their name points to kerbing, and decorative garden and driveway edging is something they do well, but they pour driveways, paths and slabs too, so they’re a good all-rounder for the established blocks through Bayswater, Maylands, Morley and Bassendean where a re-poured driveway often comes with fresh edging and a tidy-up. If your job blends a new pour with some edging or landscaping falls, a crew that does both can save you juggling trades. Ask to see a recent finished driveway or edging job close to home before you shortlist them.
View listing & contact ▸Eastside Concrete
A 4.4 across 14 reviews is a steady, well-tested record, and it’s the deepest of the review-backed placing crews at the Midland end of the corridor. Based around Midland and Swan View, they’re well placed for the growth side of this cluster, the knockdown-rebuilds, new shed and alfresco slabs and driveway replacements out through Midvale, Viveash, Swan View and the Swan Valley fringe, where heavier and more reactive soils make good base prep and proper joints matter more than they do on the sandy coast. For a straight driveway, path or shed slab in the Midland catchment they’re a genuine local option with a real track record you can check. Get the slab thickness, reinforcement and base prep in the written quote.
View listing & contact ▸4.3 (11)
4.3 (48)
A note on the order: we weight the star rating by the number of reviews, so a proven record from a deeper base normally edges out a thinner one. Here it cuts the other way at the foot, and it’s worth understanding why. Slab and Garden City (4.3 from 48) carries by far the deepest review base on the page, more than the other four combined, but its 4.3 average sits just behind the higher-rated crews above, so the weighting lands it at number five rather than lifting it up. Plenty of homeowners will still shortlist it precisely because 48 reviews is a lot of jobs to read through, so treat the order as a guide and read the reviews yourself. Match the concreter to the job: an exposed-aggregate or decorative finish and a plain grey slab are priced differently, so tell each crew exactly what you want, and get two or three quotes on the same scope before you commit.
Also worth a quote around Morley and Midland
For a spotless score close to home, Get Layed Decorative Concrete (5.0 from 5) out of Morley is the standout first call, especially for a decorative or exposed-aggregate driveway. If your job blends a pour with kerbing or edging, All State Kerbing & Concrete (4.6 from 9) in Bayswater is worth a ring. Over on the Midland side, Eastside Concrete (4.4 from 14) around Midland and Swan View brings the deepest record of the placing crews out that way, and The Concrete Guys (4.3 from 11) in Midland is another solid local option for driveways and general concreting. And if you want the largest pile of reviews to read through, Slab and Garden City (4.3 from 48) in Bayswater has by far the most jobs on record here. Whoever you call, ask to see a recent finished job like yours, get the base prep, thickness and reinforcement spelled out in writing, and line up two or three fixed-price quotes on the same scope so you’re comparing apples with apples.
What concreting actually costs in Perth (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a concreter blind on price. These are honest WA ballpark ranges for the common jobs, GST included. They’re a guide to keep you from being overcharged, not a quote, and concreting prices move with your finish, your site and the size of the pour, so the spread on each line is wide for a reason. Most home jobs are priced per square metre once the concreter has seen the site, with the base prep, reinforcement and finish making the difference. Around Morley and Midland the work splits two ways: replacing cracked, lifted or stained driveways and paths on the older established blocks through Bayswater, Maylands, Bassendean, Guildford and Morley, and pouring new driveways, shed and alfresco slabs on the knockdown-rebuilds and new homes out through Midland, Midvale, Swan View and Ballajura. The ground is the big variable, and it changes across this corridor, from river-flat soils down near the Swan through Bassendean and Bayswater to heavier, more reactive clay toward Guildford, Swan View and the foothills, all of which must be properly prepared and, on soft or reactive sites, may need extra fill or a thicker slab. That base work is exactly what a cheap quote quietly leaves out.
| Job | Typical WA range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Plain grey concrete driveway or slab (supply & lay, per m²) | $70-$100 / m² | Site access, base prep and fill, slab thickness, reinforcement, formwork, removal of old concrete |
| Exposed aggregate driveway (per m²) | $100-$150 / m² | Stone choice, honing, sealing, curved or detailed edges |
| Liquid limestone (poured, per m²) | $80-$130 / m² | Colour, sealing, thickness, pattern, edge detail, site prep |
| Shed or garage slab (supply & lay, per m²) | $80-$120 / m² | Thickness and reinforcement for the load, site levelling, edge beams, access for the truck |
| Concrete pool surround (per m²) | $90-$160 / m² | Finish (exposed aggregate or liquid limestone), slip resistance, sealing, shape and coping detail |
| Stencil or spray-on decorative finish (per m²) | $55-$95 / m² | Pattern and colour, number of coats, sealing, surface condition if resurfacing |
| Standard double driveway (typical total, plain finish) | $4,000-$8,000 | Area and shape, removal of the old driveway, base prep, finish, drainage falls |
| Concrete path or footpath (per m²) | $70-$110 / m² | Width, curves, steps, hand-finishing, site access |
| Removal & disposal of old concrete (per m²) | $30-$60 / m² | Thickness, reinforcement in the old slab, access, tip fees |
The Morley and Midland suburbs carry their own conditions worth pricing in. On the older established blocks through Bayswater, Maylands, Bassendean, Guildford and Morley, a lot of the work is pulling up 1950s to 1990s driveways and paths that have cracked, lifted over tree roots, or stained, so budget for removal and disposal of the old slab on top of the new pour, and watch for asbestos in very old paths and sheds. Toward Guildford, Swan View and the foothills the soils get heavier and more reactive, clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, so the base prep, slab thickness and control joints matter more here than on sandy ground, and skimping on them is how a driveway ends up cracked within a couple of years. And whatever the job, the cheap quote is usually cheap because it’s thin on base prep, reinforcement or slab thickness, the parts you can’t see once it’s poured and the parts that decide whether it lasts. Get the thickness, the mesh or bar, and the base prep written into the quote.
Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- No written quote that spells out the slab. A proper concreting quote states the area in square metres, the slab thickness, the reinforcement (mesh or bar), the base prep, the finish and the price. A one-line “concrete driveway, $X” tells you nothing about what’s going in the ground. Get the detail in writing.
- Skipping the base prep. Whether it’s river-flat sand near the Swan or reactive clay toward the foothills, compacting and preparing the base is what stops a slab cracking and settling. A crew that wants to pour straight onto loose or unprepared ground is setting your driveway up to fail. Ask exactly how they’re preparing the ground.
- A slab too thin, or no reinforcement. A residential driveway should generally be around 100mm thick with steel mesh (commonly SL72) so it can take a car. Watch for anyone quoting a thin slab with no reinforcement to hit a cheap price, it will crack under load.
- No control or expansion joints. Concrete moves as it cures and with heat, and it moves more on the reactive clay soils out toward Guildford and the hills, so proper control joints are cut in to manage where it cracks. Leave them out and the slab cracks where it likes. A good concreter plans the joints as part of the job.
- A big deposit up front. Materials for a pour don’t justify a huge deposit. Be wary of anyone wanting a large slice of the total before they’ve done a thing. A modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal.
- Cash-only, no ABN, no insurance. A concreter with no ABN, no public liability insurance and a cash-only push is a concreter with no accountability if the job goes wrong or someone gets hurt on your property. Ask for the ABN and insurance.
- The quote is well under everyone else’s. On concrete the lowball is usually missing base prep, thickness or reinforcement, the exact things that make it last. Compare quotes on identical thickness, reinforcement and finish, not just the headline number.
- Buying the mix and the labour from the same “yard”. Around Midland there are plenty of supply yards. That’s fine for material, but make sure the crew actually pouring and finishing your job is an experienced concreter with a real review record, not just whoever the yard sends. The finish is in the hands, not the truck.
- “We’ll pour tomorrow” pressure, or pouring in bad weather. Good concreters are booked ahead. Pushing to pour today, or pouring in heavy rain or extreme heat without the right care, risks a poor cure and a weak slab. A pro plans the pour around the weather.
- Vague on the crossover permit. A new or widened driveway crossover onto the council verge needs a permit, and this corridor spans three councils (City of Bayswater, City of Swan and the Town of Bassendean), so the rules depend on your suburb. A concreter who waves that away can leave you wearing the cost of redoing non-compliant work.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- ABN and public liability insurance. Confirm the concreter has a current ABN and public liability cover before any work starts. It protects you if something is damaged or someone is injured on the job.
- Written quote with the detail. Get the area in square metres, the slab thickness, the reinforcement, the base prep, the finish and the price all in writing before you pay a deposit. Vague quotes are where disputes start.
- Reinforcement and thickness spelled out. For a driveway, check you’re getting a slab of adequate thickness (generally around 100mm) with steel mesh. For heavier loads or reactive clay ground, ask what extra is specified.
- Base prep and compaction. Ask how they’re preparing and compacting the base. Across this corridor the ground runs from river-flat sand to reactive clay, and getting the base right is the single biggest factor in whether the slab lasts. Don’t let anyone pour onto loose, unprepared ground.
- Control joints and drainage. Confirm control or expansion joints are part of the job, and that the slab is set to fall the right way so water drains off rather than pooling or running to the house.
- Right finish for the job. Match the trade to the work: an exposed-aggregate or liquid-limestone finish, a plain grey slab and a pool surround each suit different needs and budgets. Ask to see a recent finished job like yours.
- Crossover permit sorted. For a new or widened driveway crossover, check who is obtaining the permit from your council (City of Bayswater, City of Swan or Town of Bassendean depending on your suburb) and that it’s in place before work starts.
- Recent, specific reviews and references. Look for recent reviews that mention the actual pour or finish, and ask for a local job you can look at. A steady stream beats one old burst of five stars.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these concreters?
By their live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps. We weight the rating by review volume so a proven score isn’t leapfrogged by a perfect score from one or two jobs. Get Layed Decorative Concrete (5.0 from 5) tops the list on rating, while Slab and Garden City (4.3 from 48) carries the deepest review base but sits at the foot because its average is a touch lower. We checked the map location of every operator and kept the list to concreters genuinely based in and working the Morley, Midland, Bayswater and Bassendean catchment, leaving off the Perth-wide brands and the Osborne Park crews to the west.
Which areas does this cover?
Morley, Midland and the surrounding northeast suburbs. That runs across Morley, Midland, Bayswater, Bassendean, Maylands, Guildford, Noranda, Embleton, Beechboro, Ballajura, Eden Hill, Ashfield, Swan View, Midvale, Viveash and the eastern edge of Dianella. Concreting is a service-area trade, so most on this list cover that whole catchment rather than a single suburb.
Why did you leave out Midland Minicrete, Cement Materials and the sand yards?
Because they are suppliers, not concreters. Midland is a hub for concrete supply, so a search fills up with batching plants and material yards like Midland Minicrete, Midland Cement Materials and Midland Sand & Soil. They sell you the mix, the cement or the sand, but they don’t come and pour, screed and finish your driveway. This list is placing and finishing crews only, the trade you’re actually hiring, so the supply yards are left off even though some have plenty of reviews.
Are these paid placements?
No. This list is ordered on Google review data. Businesses can pay for a “Featured” spot at the top, which is clearly labelled, but paying never changes the review-based order below. As of this update, no spots are sold.
Why only five, when other lists have ten?
Because we only list concreters with a genuine local Google record, and we won’t pad the page to a round number. Once the supply yards, the concrete-cutting subbies and the metro-wide brands are stripped out, the Morley and Midland corridor has a handful of dedicated, well-reviewed placing crews rather than dozens, so five is the honest count here. As more local concreters build up reviews, expect the list to grow.
Exposed aggregate, plain concrete or liquid limestone, what’s the difference?
Plain grey concrete is the cheapest and toughest, a solid workhorse driveway or slab. Exposed aggregate washes back the top to reveal the stone for a textured, grippy, good-looking finish that’s popular for driveways and pool surrounds and hides marks well. Liquid limestone is a poured limestone finish, lighter in colour and cooler underfoot, which suits pool areas but needs sealing and care. Your concreter can show you samples, and the choice changes both the price and the upkeep.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Perth?
As a 2026 guide, a plain grey concrete driveway runs roughly $70 to $100 per square metre supplied and laid, so a standard double driveway usually lands somewhere around $4,000 to $8,000 depending on size, shape and site. Exposed aggregate is dearer at about $100 to $150 per square metre, and liquid limestone sits around $80 to $130. Removing an old driveway first adds roughly $30 to $60 per square metre, which is common on the older blocks around Bayswater, Maylands and Guildford. These are ballparks to keep you from being overcharged, get your own job priced in writing after a concreter has seen the site.
How long before I can use new concrete?
As a rule of thumb you can usually walk on new concrete after about 24 to 48 hours, but keep vehicles off a new driveway for around 7 days, and concrete keeps curing and gaining strength for about 28 days. Your concreter will give you the specific times for your pour and the weather, and may ask you to keep it damp or protected while it cures. Rushing a car onto it too early is a common way to crack a fresh slab.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
For a residential driveway that only takes cars, around 100mm with steel reinforcing mesh is the common standard in WA. If you’ll be parking heavier vehicles like a boat, caravan or truck, or the ground is soft or reactive clay like you get toward Guildford and the foothills, a thicker slab or extra reinforcement may be specified. Ask your concreter to confirm the thickness and reinforcement in the written quote, it’s one of the details a cheap job quietly cuts. This is general guidance, not an engineering spec, so follow your concreter’s advice for your site.
Do I need council approval for a new driveway?
For a new or widened driveway crossover, the section that crosses the council verge, you generally need a crossover permit from your local council. This corridor spans three: the City of Bayswater (Morley, Bayswater, Maylands, Noranda), the City of Swan (Midland, Midvale, Guildford, Swan View, Ballajura) and the Town of Bassendean, so which one applies depends on your suburb. A good concreter will know the local requirements and can help sort it. Confirm who’s obtaining the permit before work starts so you’re not left redoing non-compliant work.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. Ratings and review counts move, new concreters earn their spot, and we re-pull the data so the list stays honest and current. As Morley and Midland concreters build up reviews, expect this list to shift.
