OUR STORY
Concreting for a growing part of Shepparton
Shepparton North carries a real mix of work. Along the older established streets, driveways and paths laid decades ago are cracking, lifting or simply past their best, so replacement and resurfacing make up a steady share of what we do. Closer to the newer release areas, families building fresh homes need house slabs, driveways, paths, and alfresco or shed slabs poured from scratch. Steve has worked both ends of that spectrum across Shepparton for more than twelve years, which means we can turn up to a tired 1980s driveway or a bare new block and read what the ground is likely to do. We give you a fixed, itemised quote on site, so you can see exactly what each part of the job costs before anything begins.

What the floodplain ground does to concrete here
Shepparton North sits on the Goulburn and Broken river floodplain, where the Shepparton Formation has laid down red-brown earths and reactive grey and brown clays. Those reactive clays tend to swell as they take up moisture through winter and shrink back as they dry through summer, so the ground beneath a slab often moves with the seasons. Left unmanaged, that movement can crack an under-built slab or lift a driveway over time. The reliable answer is a site soil test to confirm the AS 2870 classification for your particular block, because reactivity can vary from one lot to the next even on the same street. From there we detail the slab to suit, with adequate steel, a properly compacted and trimmed base, correctly spaced control joints and drainage that keeps water away from the footing.
Why choose us in Shepparton North
Why locals choose Peak Concreting
Homeowners in Shepparton North call us because we keep things straightforward. Steve brings more than twelve years of concreting across the Goulburn Valley, and every quote is fixed and itemised, so there are no vague allowances or moving numbers. We are fully insured with $20 million public liability cover, and we build residential slabs and footings to AS 2870, using AS 3600 concrete and, where a job calls for a retaining wall, AS 4678. Structural slab design follows your site classification and the engineer's details rather than guesswork. Control joints are placed to manage where any cracking shows rather than promising a slab will never crack, because honest expectations matter more than big claims. You get careful base preparation, tidy finishing and a crew that turns up when it says it will.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our concreting In Shepparton North
Do I need a soil test before a slab in Shepparton North?
It is strongly advised. Shepparton North sits on reactive floodplain clays that can swell and shrink with the seasons, and reactivity varies from lot to lot. A site soil test confirms the AS 2870 classification for your block so the slab can be detailed correctly with the right steel and base. Building to a proper classification is far cheaper than repairing a slab that was under-designed for the ground.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Shepparton North?
As a rough guide, a plain concrete driveway on new work with standard access and base preparation often falls in the range of $70 to $100 per square metre, while decorative finishes cost more. Removal of an old driveway, tricky access, extra thickness or the site classification can all change the figure. We give you a fixed, itemised quote on site so you can see exactly what your driveway will cost.
Can you match a new driveway to an older established home?
Yes. A good part of our Shepparton North work is on older established homes where the original driveway has cracked or lifted. We can replace it with a plain grey finish that suits the house, or step up to an exposed aggregate or coloured finish if you want to lift the look. We will talk through the options and price each one clearly on the quote.
Does the weather affect when you can pour?
It can. Shepparton summers bring hot, dry days that can peak around 40 degrees, so summer pours need moisture protection and proper curing to guard against plastic-shrinkage cracking. Winters here are cool and bring frost, so we take care not to finish or cure a fresh slab through a frosty night. We plan pours around the conditions to give the concrete the best start.
How long before I can use a new concrete driveway?
You can usually walk on a new slab after a day or two, but keep vehicles off for about seven days while the concrete gains strength, and longer for heavier vehicles. Curing well in that first week matters, especially through Shepparton's hot summers, so we will let you know when your driveway is ready to take weight.
Do you do more than driveways in Shepparton North?
Yes. Across Shepparton North we pour house slabs, footpaths, crossovers, patios and alfresco areas, shed and garage slabs, and we handle removal of old concrete. If you have a mix of jobs on one property we can quote them together in a single itemised quote. Call 0485 032 128 and we will come and take a look.
