Best concreters in Rockingham & Mandurah (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated concreters working Rockingham, Mandurah and the coast in between, from Baldivis, Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour down through Golden Bay and Singleton to Meadow Springs, Falcon and Dawesville. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Concreting down here is a proper service-area trade run off a ute, a bobcat and a concrete truck, so we checked the map pin on every operator and kept the list to firms genuinely based in and working the Rockingham-to-Mandurah coast, whether you need a driveway, a shed or house slab, a path, an exposed-aggregate or liquid-limestone finish, or an old cracked slab pulled up and re-poured. One honest note before the list: a search for “concreter” down here fills up with batching plants and mini-mix yards, Holcim, Boral and the supply depots, that sell or deliver the mix but don’t pour and finish your slab. We’ve stripped those out and kept only the genuine placing crews with a real run of reviews. What shapes the job down here is the ground and the growth. This is deep coastal sand and limestone country rather than the hills rock or the heavy clay further east, with pockets of reactive clay in the newer inland estates around Baldivis and Wellard, and it’s one of the fastest-growing corridors in the state, so a big share of the work is fresh house slabs and driveways in new estates. Sandy ground needs proper compaction and usually a crushed or limestone base, and salt air near the water is worth planning for too. What follows is the genuine local operators, what concreting actually costs in WA in 2026, the site factors that decide whether your slab lasts on sandy coastal ground, the warning signs of a dodgy job, and a checklist to run before you pay a deposit.

- 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 two or three jobs isn’t proof yet, so we weight the score by review count. That’s why a operator with a big, consistent run of reviews can sit level with, or above, a perfect score off a handful of jobs. The weighted scores land close together at the top of this page, so we’ve kept each firm’s real record, its star average and its review count, right in front of you.
- Based on the coast, 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 with a pin genuinely along the Rockingham-to-Mandurah coast, from Kwinana and Baldivis down through Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour to Mandurah, Falcon and Dawesville. We left off crews sitting up in Jandakot or Cockburn, because a pin thirty kilometres north tells you little about who will actually turn up to pour your driveway in Baldivis or Halls Head.
- Placing crews only, not suppliers. We list concreters who pour and finish your slab, not the batching plants, mini-mix yards and precast suppliers that sell or deliver the material. Holcim, Boral, Mandurah Mix and the supply depots do an important job, but it isn’t laying your driveway, so they’re not on this list.
- A real record, with the specialists flagged. We include local concreters with a genuine run of reviews and are upfront where a business is a honing, grinding or decorative-finish specialist rather than a general new-pour crew, so you can weigh it against the job you actually have.
- 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.
ACP Concrete Perfection
A clean 5.0 across 26 reviews is the strongest combination of average and volume on this page, which is exactly what the weighted score is built to reward, and the pin sits right in Rockingham, so this is a genuine local crew. That depth of feedback is worth a lot on a trade where the finish and the base prep are hidden once the pour goes off. They handle driveways, slabs, paths and decorative work, which covers most of what a Rockingham or Baldivis home needs, whether it’s a new house slab, a driveway on sandy ground, or an old cracked slab lifted and re-laid. Read the reviews yourself and, as always, get the slab thickness, the reinforcement and the base prep spelled out in the written quote.
View listing & contact ▸Concrete Laid Bayside
A 4.8 across 35 reviews is the most-tested record on this page, and that volume is why it sits right at the top despite not being a straight 5.0. The pin is up the northern end of the cluster around Kwinana and Baldivis, so this is the natural first call for the fast-growing estates at the top of the coast, Wellard, Baldivis, Golden Bay and out to Singleton. They pour driveways, slabs and paths, which suits a new-estate house slab, a driveway on freshly filled sandy ground, or a re-pour. With this many reviews you’ve got plenty to read, so do, and get the base prep and compaction on that sandy or filled ground written into the quote.
View listing & contact ▸Complete Concrete WA
A 5.0 across 15 reviews is a genuinely strong record, enough volume behind the perfect score to take it seriously, and the pin sits around Baldivis and Rockingham, right in the heart of the growth corridor. They pour driveways, slabs and paths, so they suit the new-estate work that dominates down here, a fresh house slab, a driveway, a shed pad or a path. On sandy or filled ground the base is everything, so read the reviews, ask to see a recent job like yours, and get the compaction, thickness and reinforcement into the written quote before you commit.

A note on the order: the top of this page is tight, so read the record as well as the rank. ACP Concrete Perfection (5.0 from 26) tops the weighted score with the best mix of a perfect average and real volume; Concrete Laid Bayside (4.8 from 35) carries the deepest review record on the page and owns the northern estates end; and Complete Concrete WA (5.0 from 15) rounds out a strong top three through Baldivis and Rockingham. Two names are specialists worth calling out: MATRIX Concrete Honing (4.7 from 31) is a concrete honing, grinding and polishing outfit rather than a new-placing crew, so if you want an existing slab or garage floor ground and polished, that’s their trade, not a fresh driveway; and Mandurah Exposed Aggregate (5.0 from 6) leans to the decorative exposed-aggregate finish. For the Mandurah end generally, Mandurah Concreting Solutions (5.0 from 11) and PCR Concreting Mandurah (5.0 from 6) are genuine locals, and Gary’s Concrete (5.0 from 8) sits handily in the middle around Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour. Whoever you call, get two or three quotes on the same scope before you commit.
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. Down on the Rockingham-to-Mandurah coast the ground is the thing to price in: it’s deep sand and limestone in most spots, with pockets of reactive clay in the newer inland estates around Baldivis and Wellard. Sand is easy to dig but it has to be properly compacted and usually needs a crushed-rock or limestone base under the slab, and filled house pads in a new estate need that compaction done right or the slab settles later. Salt air near the water is worth a thought too, quality concrete cover over the steel matters more the closer you are to the coast. It’s not a rip-off, it’s the coast, and a good local concreter will tell you exactly which of these your job runs into.
| Job | Typical WA range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Plain grey concrete driveway or slab (supply & lay, per m²) | $70-$105 / m² | Site prep and compaction on sand or filled ground, crushed or limestone base, slab thickness, reinforcement, formwork, removal of old concrete |
| Small courtyard, alfresco or path slab (per m²) | $90-$150 / m² | Small awkward area, hand-finishing, edge and step detail, decorative finish |
| Exposed aggregate driveway (per m²) | $100-$155 / m² | Stone choice, honing, sealing, curved or detailed edges, area |
| Liquid limestone or decorative overlay (per m²) | $95-$150 / m² | Finish and colour, sealing, pattern and edge detail, area |
| New house / shed / garage slab (supply & lay, per m²) | $80-$125 / m² | Thickness and reinforcement for the load, engineered fill and compaction on a new estate pad, edge beams, access for the truck |
| Standard suburban driveway (typical total, plain finish) | $3,500-$8,000+ | Size, base prep on sand, reinforcement, drainage, crossover, finish |
| Removal & disposal of old concrete (per m²) | $30-$65 / m² | Thickness, reinforcement in the old slab, access, tip fees |
The coast carries its own conditions worth pricing in. The ground is the first: coastal sand digs easily but has to be compacted properly and usually needs a crushed-rock or limestone base under the slab, and a filled new-estate pad in Baldivis, Golden Bay or Lakelands needs that compaction done right or the slab settles and cracks later. Reactive clay shows up in pockets of the newer inland estates and behaves differently again, moving with moisture, so the slab and reinforcement have to suit it. Salt air near the water means proper concrete cover over the steel matters more the closer you are to the coast. Whatever the job, the cheap quote is usually cheap because it’s thin on base prep, compaction, reinforcement or thickness, the parts you can’t see once it’s poured. Get the thickness, the mesh or bar, the base and compaction, the finish and any drainage detail 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 or compaction. On coastal sand and especially on a filled new-estate pad, compaction and a proper base are what stop a slab settling and cracking. A crew that wants to pour straight onto loose or unprepared sand is setting your slab up to fail. Ask exactly how they’re preparing and compacting the base.
- Ignoring reactive clay in the newer estates. Some of the inland estates around Baldivis and Wellard sit on reactive clay that moves with moisture, and a slab poured as if it were on stable sand can crack as the ground swells and shrinks. A crew that won’t talk about the ground type is a worry. Ask what they know about the soil on your block.
- 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, and a drive that takes a boat, caravan or trailer may want more. Watch for anyone quoting a thin slab with no reinforcement to hit a cheap price, it will crack under load.
- No thought to the salt air. Close to the water, proper concrete cover over the reinforcing steel is what stops it corroding and blowing the slab apart over the years. A crew that dismisses it near the coast is cutting a corner you’ll pay for later. Ask how they’re allowing for coastal exposure.
- No control or expansion joints. Concrete moves as it cures and with heat, 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.
- Vague on drainage. A driveway and slab need to be set to shed water and channel it away rather than let it pool, which matters on flat sandy blocks where water sits. A crew that doesn’t set the falls can leave you with pooling and staining. Ask how the pour is set to drain.
- 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 a coastal pour the lowball is usually missing base prep, compaction, thickness or reinforcement, the exact things that make it last. Compare quotes on identical thickness, reinforcement, base and finish, not just the headline number.
- Vague on the crossover permit. A new or widened driveway crossover onto the council verge needs a permit, and this stretch spans the City of Rockingham, the City of Mandurah and the City of Kwinana at the northern edge. 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.
- Base prep and compaction. On sand or a filled estate pad, ask exactly how they’re preparing and compacting the base and what base material goes under the slab. Getting the base right is what stops uneven settling down here.
- Ground type accounted for. Ask whether your block is sand, limestone or reactive clay, and how the slab and reinforcement suit it. It’s the biggest driver of how well the slab lasts on this coast.
- 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 like a boat or caravan, ask what extra is specified.
- Coastal cover for the steel. Near the water, confirm there’s proper concrete cover over the reinforcing so salt air doesn’t corrode it and damage the slab over time.
- Drainage set. Confirm the slab and driveway are set to shed water and channel it away rather than pool, which matters on flat sandy blocks.
- Control joints planned. Confirm control or expansion joints are part of the job, so the concrete cracks where it’s meant to rather than wherever it likes.
- Right finish for the job. Match the finish to the work: a plain grey slab, exposed aggregate, liquid limestone or a polished finish each suit different needs and budgets, and not every crew does all of them. 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 Rockingham, City of Mandurah or City of Kwinana depending on your suburb) and that it’s in place before work starts.
- Recent, specific reviews and references. A recent review that mentions the actual pour or finish is worth more than an old star rating, and a local job you can go and look at is better still. Ask for one.
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, which is how a firm with a big consistent record can sit level with or above a straight 5.0 off a handful of jobs. We checked the map location of every operator and kept the list to concreters genuinely based along the Rockingham-to-Mandurah coast, leaving off the batching plants, mini-mix and precast suppliers that don’t pour and finish slabs, and the crews sitting up in Jandakot or Cockburn.
Which areas does this cover?
The Peel coast from Rockingham to Mandurah. That runs through Rockingham, Baldivis, Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour, Warnbro, Safety Bay, Cooloongup, Waikiki, Golden Bay and Singleton, up to Kwinana and Wellard at the northern edge, and down through Mandurah, Greenfields, Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Falcon, Wannanup, Dawesville, Halls Head and Erskine. Concreting is a service-area trade, so most on this list cover a broad slice of the coast rather than a single suburb.
Why aren’t the big concrete suppliers on the list?
Because they don’t pour and finish your slab. Search “concreter” down here and you’ll get Holcim, Boral, Mandurah Mix and the precast and mini-mix yards, which supply or deliver the material. They do an important job, but it isn’t laying your driveway or house slab, so we’ve listed only the genuine placing crews, the ones who form up, pour, finish and joint the concrete on your block.
Why does the ground matter so much down here?
Because the coast is mostly deep sand and limestone, with pockets of reactive clay in the newer inland estates around Baldivis and Wellard. Sand digs easily but has to be compacted properly and usually needs a crushed-rock or limestone base, and a filled new-estate pad needs that compaction done right or the slab settles and cracks later. Reactive clay moves with moisture, so the slab and reinforcement have to suit it. And near the water, proper concrete cover over the steel matters more because of the salt air. A good local concreter will tell you which of these applies to your block and price it in.
Which one should I call?
For Rockingham and the northern estates around Baldivis, Wellard and Golden Bay, ACP Concrete Perfection (5.0 from 26), Concrete Laid Bayside (4.8 from 35) and Complete Concrete WA (5.0 from 15) are the strongest records on the page. Around Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour, Gary’s Concrete (5.0 from 8) sits handily in the middle. For the Mandurah end, Mandurah Concreting Solutions (5.0 from 11) and PCR Concreting Mandurah (5.0 from 6) are genuine locals. If you want a decorative exposed-aggregate finish, Mandurah Exposed Aggregate (5.0 from 6) or Designer Stone (4.8 from 22) specialise in it, and for grinding and polishing an existing slab, MATRIX Concrete Honing (4.7 from 31) is the one. Whatever the job, get two or three quotes on the same scope.
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.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Rockingham or Mandurah?
As a 2026 guide, a plain grey concrete driveway runs roughly $70 to $105 per square metre supplied and laid on a straightforward site, and a standard suburban driveway often lands somewhere between about $3,500 and $8,000 depending on size, base prep and finish. Exposed aggregate is dearer at about $100 to $155 per square metre, and liquid limestone sits in a similar decorative range. Budget for proper compaction and a base on sandy or filled ground, and for removing an old driveway first at roughly $30 to $65 per square metre. 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, trailer or delivery truck, 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 stretch spans the City of Rockingham, the City of Mandurah and the City of Kwinana at the northern edge, and 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 more Rockingham, Baldivis and Mandurah concreters build up reviews, expect this list to shift.
