Concrete Footpath Repair & Resurfacing
Don’t let cracked, uneven, or deteriorating footpaths diminish your property’s safety and appearance. Our repair specialists can address common Newcastle footpath issues, including surface cracking from seasonal expansion and contraction, sinking or heaving caused by inadequate base preparation, and erosion damage from improper drainage. We’re particularly experienced with salt damage on coastal properties and can restore staining and discolouration that occurs over time.
Decorative Concrete Footpath Options
Elevate your property’s visual appeal with our decorative concrete footpath solutions. Beyond standard grey concrete, we offer numerous options to enhance your outdoor spaces. Our exposed aggregate finishes reveal beautiful stone textures, while stamped concrete patterns can mimic slate, stone, or brick for a fraction of the cost. We provide coloured concrete in a spectrum of hues to complement your home’s exterior, along with stencilled designs for unique, personalised pathways.
Our decorative options combine stunning aesthetics with the practical durability Newcastle homeowners need, giving you the best of both worlds—beauty and longevity in our challenging coastal environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete footpaths require minimal maintenance compared to other materials. We recommend occasional cleaning with a pressure washer and standard garden hose to remove dirt and debris. For coastal properties in Newcastle, a yearly application of concrete sealer helps protect against salt damage. Minor cracks should be addressed promptly to prevent water infiltration and further deterioration.
Concrete footpath costs vary based on size, design complexity, site accessibility, and finishing options. Basic residential footpaths start at a competitive rate, with decorative options like stamped or coloured concrete adding to the investment. We provide detailed, transparent quotes following a site inspection, ensuring no hidden costs surprise you later.
Yes, we provide several slip-resistant finishing options that are ideal for Newcastle’s occasionally wet climate. These include broom finishes, exposed aggregate surfaces, and specialized concrete additives that enhance traction while maintaining aesthetic appeal. For areas around pools or in heavily shaded locations that remain damp, we recommend our premium slip-resistant treatments explicitly designed for high-moisture environments.
In some cases, new concrete footpaths can be installed over existing concrete or stable base materials. However, this approach depends on the condition of the existing surface, drainage considerations, and height restrictions. Our team conducts thorough site assessments to determine if the overlay is possible or if removing existing materials is necessary for optimal results. We’ll provide honest recommendations based on what will deliver the best long-term performance for your specific situation.
We use specialized concrete mixes with appropriate additives and proper reinforcement techniques designed explicitly for Newcastle’s coastal conditions. Our footpaths include carefully placed control joints that allow for natural expansion and contraction and proper drainage planning to prevent water damage.
