Concrete Paths & Footpaths Melbourne & Mornington Peninsula

Concrete Paths & Footpaths

Well-designed concrete paths and footpaths do more than connect spaces — they improve safety, access, drainage and street appeal. From neat garden walkways to council-compliant footpaths, we build durable, low-maintenance paths that look great and last.

We set correct levels, falls and expansion joints, compact the base, and use quality mixes so your paths resist cracking, ponding and surface wear. Call us or send the Contact Form for a Free Quote from Sturdy Concreter — trusted local concreters delivering paths that perform.

Exposed Aggregate Paths

Exposed aggregate offers a premium look with natural stone texture and excellent traction — perfect for sloped access, pool surrounds and high-traffic walkways. We supply a wide range of stone mixes and colours, then professionally seal the surface to resist stains and weathering while deepening the colour.

Coloured Concrete Paths

Coloured concrete delivers a modern, cohesive look that ties in with landscaping and façades. Pigments are integrally mixed (not painted on), so the colour won’t peel. Choose popular tones like charcoal, sandstone, terracotta and more for bold or subtle pathways that are durable and easy to maintain.

Ask us for a colour chart and a Free Measure & Quote — we’ll match a tone that suits your property.

Plain Concrete Paths

For a neat, cost-effective solution, plain concrete is hard to beat. It’s strong, low-maintenance and ideal for side access, bins, clotheslines and perimeter circulation. Choose a broom, trowel or stipple finish for added slip resistance, or keep it smooth for a sleek look.

Plain paths are also a great base if you plan to resurface or coat later.

Accessibility & Compliance

Where plans require accessibility, we install paths with compliant gradients, landings, crossfalls and tactile indicators as specified. We’ll work from your drawings and coordinate with other trades to deliver safe, accessible routes around the site.

Pathway Costs in Melbourne

The cost of a concrete path or footpath depends on:

Width, length & thickness (m²)

Base prep & edging, steps or retaining details
Access & site constraints (narrow sides, services)
Council specs (for public footpaths/reinstatements)

As a guide, plain concrete paths typically start from around $60–$90 per m², while coloured and exposed aggregate are higher due to materials and finishing. We provide fixed, itemised quotes with no surprises.

Concrete Paths & Footpaths FAQs

1. What width should a concrete path be?

Side access paths are commonly 1.0–1.2 m wide; garden paths vary by design. We’ll recommend widths to suit use and access.

2. What thickness do you pour for paths?

Residential paths are typically 75–100 mm thick with reinforcement; commercial/council paths may specify more.

3. Which finish is best for slip resistance?

Broomed or exposed aggregate finishes provide excellent traction, especially for slopes or pool areas.

4. Can you replace broken or uneven path sections?

Yes — we handle demolition, disposal, re-levelling, and replacement, matching the existing finish where possible.

5. Do you install council-compliant footpaths?

We complete council-spec footpaths and reinstatements to plan, including joints, crossfall and thickness.

6. Will you set correct falls to stop puddles?

Yes — we design levels and drainage to move water away from the building and prevent ponding.

7. Can you add steps or ramps between levels?

Absolutely. We construct formed steps, landings and gentle ramps to maintain safe circulation.

8. Do coloured paths fade?

Colour is integrally mixed, so it won’t peel. Sealing helps preserve colour and protect from stains and UV.

9. How soon can we walk on new paths?

Light foot traffic after 24 hours; full strength develops over several days. We’ll advise based on weather.

10. Do you offer sealing and maintenance?

Yes — we seal new paths (especially exposed/coloured) and can return for reseals to extend service life.

11. Can you install edging or garden borders?

Yes — we form clean edges or add concrete kerb/edging to contain mulch or turf.

12. What’s the most budget-friendly option?

Plain concrete with a broom finish offers excellent value and durability for most access paths.

13. Can paths be resurfaced instead of replaced?

Often yes — we can grind, overlay or spray suitable surfaces if the base is sound.

14. Do you work from plans for accessibility?

Yes — we follow drawings and can coordinate tactile indicators, gradients and landing details to specification.
