Preparation for a concreting project involves several steps. First, consult with a concreter to discuss your needs, design preferences, and budget. Clear the area of any obstacles, debris, or vegetation to ensure the site is ready for excavation. Depending on the project, permits may be required, especially for driveways or structures near property boundaries. Ensure you have a clear timeline and understand the curing process to avoid interfering with the concrete as it sets.

Concrete should be sealed every 2–3 years or when it begins to show signs of wear, such as water absorption, staining, or a dull surface. Sealing helps protect the concrete from moisture, UV damage, and surface cracking. If water no longer beads on the surface or stains penetrate easily, it’s time to reseal the concrete. Use a high-quality sealant appropriate for your specific concrete finish.

Kerbing typically lasts 20–30 years with proper maintenance. Its durability depends on factors like installation quality, environmental conditions, and regular care. To maintain kerbing, clean it regularly to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Repair cracks or chips promptly to avoid further damage. Sealing decorative kerbing can protect it from water and UV damage, extending its lifespan.
