Paths & Patios

Concrete Paths & Patios in Dunedin

Safe, good-looking paths and patios that extend your living space outside and stand up to Otago's weather year after year.

Outdoor spaces you'll actually use

A good patio feels like part of the house. We pour patios level with your doorways so indoor and outdoor living flow together, with gentle falls so rain runs away from the house rather than pooling at the door.

Paths are formed to follow the natural lines of your garden, with slip-resistant broom or exposed aggregate finishes for safe footing in the wet. We also do steps, clothesline areas, BBQ pads, bin areas and side-of-house paths.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the best finish for a Dunedin patio?

For grip and low maintenance, exposed aggregate is hard to beat. A broom finish is the most budget-friendly non-slip option, and coloured concrete gives a smooth, modern look. We can bring samples to your site visit.

Can you pour a patio next to the house?

Yes. We set the patio level and falls carefully so it sits below your floor level and sheds water away from the house, in line with building code requirements.

Do you do small jobs like paths and steps?

Yes. Projects under about 30 m² may have a small-job fee to cover setup, so it's often worth combining a path with other work, such as a patio or driveway.

How long does a patio take?

Most residential patios and paths take one to three days on site, depending on size and preparation, plus curing time before heavy use.
