Concreter Manifold Heights

Concrete built for Manifold Heights' hillside blocks

Manifold Heights sits on rising ground between Geelong West and Herne Hill, and a good number of its tree-lined streets slope enough that a driveway or path needs proper planning before a single form goes up. We build every driveway and slab to suit the actual fall of the block rather than a flat, one-size layout, which matters more here than it does on level ground closer to the bay. The suburb's older, established homes near the Minerva Road and Pakington Street precincts also mean a lot of the concreting work is replacing something original rather than starting from scratch. Whatever your block looks like, get in touch and we'll talk through the right approach for it.

Handling Manifold Heights' sloped blocks properly

A sloped block changes how a driveway or slab needs to be levelled and drained, and getting that wrong is expensive to fix once the concrete's down, so we treat the site prep on a hillside property as its own step rather than rushing straight to the pour. A lot of Manifold Heights homes also sit well back from the street or above it, so we plan access for the truck and the pour around that from the first quote, not on the day. Handling site prep, formwork, reinforcement, the pour and the finish ourselves keeps the whole job under one team, which matters more on a block where the levels alone add an extra layer most jobs don't have to deal with.
