Looking to upgrade your outdoor space with something that’s not just visually striking but built to handle the Perth climate? Our outdoor concrete finishes are designed with both performance and aesthetics in mind. Whether you’re working on a patio, driveway, poolside or entertaining area, we offer two distinct finish options—Honed Concrete and Grind & Seal—each suited to different styles and needs.
Looking for a surface that blends natural beauty with resilience? Honed concrete is the perfect match for Perth’s outdoor lifestyle. This finish delivers a smooth, contemporary appearance by finely grinding the surface to reveal the aggregate beneath—giving it a stylish, stone-like character.
Once the surface is honed, we apply a penetrating sealant that sinks deep into the concrete, protecting it from within rather than sitting on the surface. This means it won’t chip, flake, or wear away under daily foot traffic or exposure to the elements.
Penetrating Sealers Resist Wear
Low-Maintenance Surface
Long-term Durability
Slip-resistant Finish
Grind & Seal is a popular finish that delivers a more polished, high-impact look. After grinding the concrete to expose the desired amount of stone, we apply a surface coating that can be customized in matte, satin, or high-gloss. While it’s often used indoors, it can work outdoors too—with a few important considerations.
For outdoor applications, we always recommend adding a non-slip agent into the topcoat for safety, especially in wet or high-traffic areas. While G&S gives you more control over shine and colour, it does require more upkeep due to the nature of the surface sealant.
Aesthetic flexibility with multiple gloss levels
Ideal for areas needing a more refined visual impact
Great for indoor-outdoor transitions or lifestyle spaces
Slip-resistance can be added for peace of mind
While Grind & Seal (G&S) can be applied outdoors, it might not always be the ideal option for every scenario. The challenging weather conditions in Perth, such as moisture, dirt, and heavy foot traffic, can significantly impact the longevity of surface coatings. These elements can cause premature damage like discoloration, peeling, or excessive wear to the top layer.
For areas like lawns, driveways, or places exposed to direct sunlight and rainfall, honed concrete typically offers better durability over time. If you’re still considering a G&S finish, it’s a good idea to consult with our team. We’ll evaluate your outdoor space and guide you toward a solution that combines both aesthetics and functionality.
Outdoor concrete doesn’t have to be boring—and it certainly shouldn’t be something you need to redo every few years. Whether you’re envisioning a clean architectural look or something bold with exposed stone, we’ll guide you toward the right finish that suits your lifestyle, your design, and our Perth conditions.
