How Much Do Concreters Charge in Mandurah? 2026 Prices and Costs

If you want a straight answer on Mandurah concreters prices, here it is: plain concrete driveways start around $90 to $100 per square metre, exposed aggregate runs $135 to $145 per square metre, and honed concrete sits at $185 to $195 per square metre in 2026. At Peel Concreters, we give every customer a detailed written quote upfront so there are no surprises on pour day.

These prices cover supply, reinforcement, and laying. They do not include earthworks, sealing, or concrete pump hire, and we will cover each of those extras below so you know exactly what to budget for.

2026 Mandurah Concrete Price Table

The table below shows realistic 2026 price ranges across the most common residential concrete projects we complete across Mandurah and the Peel region.

An average residential driveway across Mandurah sits at roughly 60 square metres. Use that as your benchmark when planning your budget.

What Is Included in the Price

Our quoted price always includes the following as standard.

• Concrete supply from trusted suppliers including Holcim, Boral, Hanson and BGC
• Steel reinforcement mesh, bar chairs, and full setup
• Formwork, screeding, and finishing to the agreed surface type
• Saw cutting of control joints to manage cracking

We use quality concrete mixes from reputable batch plants so you get a consistent, durable slab every time. That matters in Mandurah where summer heat can cause concrete to set faster than expected if the mix or timing is off.

What Is Not Included

Several items sit outside the base price, and you need to factor these in before you compare quotes. Leaving them out is how some contractors appear cheaper on paper than they are in practice.

Earthworks and Site Preparation

Excavating, grading, and compacting the base is quoted separately. In established Mandurah suburbs like Falcon or Meadow Springs, earthworks are usually straightforward. In newer estates on reactive clay, extra preparation work may be needed to build a stable sub-base.

Acid Washing and Sealing

Sealing is not included in the base price but we strongly recommend it for all Mandurah projects. Near the canals and the coast, a quality penetrating or topical sealer protects the surface from salt air and UV damage. We can quote sealing separately and organise it once the slab has cured properly.

Concrete Pump Hire

Some blocks in Mandurah's canal estates have tight side access, and a pump is the only practical way to get concrete where it needs to go. Pump hire typically adds $600 to $900 to a job, and we will flag this early if your site needs it.

Removal of an Existing Slab

Breaking up and carting away an old concrete slab is a separate cost. It depends on the thickness, size, and whether the concrete contains reinforcement that needs to be cut out.

Factors That Affect the Final Price

Beyond the finish type, a handful of site-specific factors move the price up or down. Here is what we look at when we price a Mandurah job.

• Block size and access: Narrow verge access in canal estates like Halls Head or Secret Harbour means longer pump lines or smaller truck loads.
• Ground conditions: Reactive clay under many Mandurah lots requires a deeper, better-compacted base to prevent cracking.
• Finish complexity: Honed concrete takes longer to prepare and grind than plain grey, which pushes the labour component up.
• Project size: Larger pours spread the fixed costs of setup, formwork and travel, so the rate per square metre often drops slightly on bigger jobs.
• Reinforcement requirements: Shed pads and heavy-use driveways may need thicker bar or mesh spacing based on the expected load.

We inspect every site before quoting so none of this catches us off guard on pour day.

Which Concrete Finish Suits Mandurah Homes

The finish you choose affects both the look and the long-term performance of your slab. Here is a practical breakdown.

Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate is one of the most popular choices across Mandurah and the Peel region. The textured surface is slip-resistant when wet, hides tyre marks well, and holds up strongly under UV. Sealed properly, it also resists the salt air around coastal and canal properties. Our full guide on Exposed Aggregate Cost in Mandurah: What You'll Pay in 2026 covers the finish and pricing in more detail.

If you want to see the full range of options, our page on our exposed aggregate concrete explains what to expect from design through to cure.

Honed Concrete

Honed concrete suits internal areas and covered outdoor entertaining spaces. It gives a smooth, polished look without the shine of a full polish. It is not ideal for open driveways in full sun, where glare can be an issue, but it works beautifully under a patio roof.

Plain and Coloured Concrete

Plain grey is the most cost-effective option and suits shed pads, paths, and rear driveways where looks are secondary. Coloured concrete adds a warm earthy tone for a modest extra cost and works well on front driveways in new estates like Lakelands where street appeal matters.

Crossover and Council Rules in Mandurah

If your project involves a new driveway crossover from the road to your property, the City of Mandurah has rules you need to follow before you pour.

• The crossover must sit slightly higher at the property boundary than where it meets the road so rainwater drains away from the house, not toward it.
• It must stay within the verge directly in front of your property.
• Keep it clear of street trees, power poles, and other verge assets. Check clearances with the City before we start work.
• The City of Mandurah may offer a contribution toward a first residential crossover. Contact them on 08 9550 3777 or at council@mandurah.wa.gov.au to confirm current eligibility.
• Call Dial Before You Dig on 1100 before any verge or excavation work begins.

We handle these jobs regularly and can walk you through what the City requires, but the application sits with you as the property owner.

Areas We Cover Across Mandurah and Peel

Peel Concreters works right across Mandurah and the surrounding Peel region. We pour in established coastal suburbs like Falcon, Dawesville, and Halls Head, and we are just as active in the fast-growing new estates to the north.

For example, our concreters in Lakelands work regularly across the newer blocks in that estate, where clay subsoils and tight site access are common. We know what those conditions require and we price accordingly.

Our local reputation across the region, backed by genuine Google reviews from Mandurah and Peel homeowners, reflects the work we put into every job. Peel Concreters is the Peel Region's leading concreting company.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

The most reliable way to get a firm price is to have us out to your site. Concrete pricing from a photo or rough dimensions always carries more risk of variation than a quoted price based on an actual site visit.

When you contact us, have a rough idea of the following:

• What you want poured and approximately how large the area is
• The finish type you are leaning toward
• Whether there is existing concrete to remove
• Any access constraints on your block

That gives us enough to organise a visit and get a detailed written quote back to you quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does concreting typically cost in Mandurah in 2026?

Plain concrete driveways start at $90 to $100 per square metre supplied and laid. Coloured concrete runs $100 to $110 per square metre, exposed aggregate $135 to $145 per square metre, and honed concrete $185 to $195 per square metre. A 60 square metre plain concrete driveway lands around $5,400 to $6,000 before earthworks and sealing. These are 2026 Mandurah market rates and reflect steel reinforcement, mesh, and setup being included.

What concrete finish holds up best near the Mandurah coast and canals?

Exposed aggregate and honed concrete both perform well in coastal and canal environments when sealed correctly. The texture of exposed aggregate makes it naturally slip-resistant and it hides surface weathering well over time. A penetrating sealer applied after curing protects against salt air and UV. We recommend resealing every two to four years on properties within two kilometres of the water to keep the surface in good condition.

How long does a concreting project take from start to finish in Mandurah?

Site preparation and formwork typically takes one to two days depending on the size and complexity. The pour itself is usually completed in a single day. Concrete needs a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and around seven days before vehicle use. If sealing is included, that happens after a full 28-day cure for best adhesion. Allow four to six weeks from quote acceptance to a fully sealed, ready-to-use slab.

Do I need council approval for a driveway crossover in Mandurah?

Yes. Any new crossover connecting your property to the road verge requires approval from the City of Mandurah. The crossover must drain away from the house, stay within the verge in front of your property, and avoid clearance conflicts with street trees and poles. The City may also offer a subsidy toward the cost of a first residential crossover. Call them on 08 9550 3777 or email council@mandurah.wa.gov.au to check current requirements before work starts.
