Mooloolaba, 4557, packs some of the coast’s most valuable residential ground into the streets behind the Esplanade, and the concrete there is expected to match the postcode. Between the canal frontages, the rebuilt beach houses and the older brick homes a street or two back, we pour driveways, pool surrounds, patios and paths across Mooloolaba on one fixed written quote.
The ground is sand, full stop: fast draining, easy digging, and quick to expose lazy compaction at a slab’s edges within a couple of summers. On the canal streets the water table sits close, so falls and drainage lines are planned before the boards go up, not improvised on pour day.
Much of Mooloolaba’s driveway work rides on knockdown rebuilds and full renovations, where the driveway is the last trade in and has to meet finished levels exactly: garage slab height, boundary paving, the crossover the council checklist allows. Exposed aggregate in the lighter sand-toned blends leads the finish choices here, with coloured concrete in soft greys running second for the more architectural rebuilds. Detail on the money finish sits on the driveways page.
Pools do serious work in this suburb, and so do their edges. A pool surround at Mooloolaba is sealed for salt and chemicals, textured for wet feet, and formed to fall away from coping that often sits close to a fence line or a canal wall. Add the alfresco slab and the side paths while the crew is on site and the smaller pours price at the bottom of their ranges. Every range is published on the rates guide, and every pour follows the build standard.
