Extend your useable outdoor space with durable concrete slabs
Concrete slabs are the backbone of any outdoor structure, offering lasting strength, structure and style. With custom-designed and poured concrete you can create the perfect foundation for all your outdoor living needs.
Whether you need a new shed to store your tools or children’s toys or want more space to entertain guests, cement slabs can bring these dreams to life. These versatile slabs are the first step towards building stunning outdoor patios, sheds or even separate office and entertaining areas.
Leading benefits of laying concrete slabs on your property
Concrete slabs are much more than a block of cement, they present endless possibilities for your outdoor space. Custom-laid concrete slabs can act as the ideal base for a storage shed, workspace or even a beautiful patio for entertaining guests.
Here are just a few of the top benefits that concrete slabs offer for your space.
Unparalleled Durability
Concrete is one of the most durable building materials, built to withstand all weather conditions, constant foot traffic and heavy furnishings. Concrete slabs are resistant to chips, cracks, stains and fading.
Low Maintenance
One of the greatest benefits of concrete slabs is that they require minimal maintenance to stay looking great, so you can spend more time using your outdoor living space and less time concerned with cleaning.
Custom Designs
Create personalised patio designs, custom size sheds or any other outdoor structure of your choice. Concrete slabs can be poured to meet almost any dimensions and specifications to create tailored designs.
Cost-Effective Investment
Concrete slabs are one of the most cost-effective outdoor flooring solutions. Their low initial price, paired with their extended lifespan makes them a great long-term investment for enhanced outdoor living or storage.
Maximise Outdoor Space
With concrete slabs, you can maximise the usable space in your yard. From enlarging your patio to building sheds for additional storage and workspace, concrete slabs can act as the perfect, durable base.
Improved Property Value
Large patios or sheds are a major selling point for many potential buyers or renters. Investing in your outdoor space can result in a higher return on investment if you consider selling or renting in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can concrete slabs be used for? Concrete slabs can act as a durable base or flooring for all kinds of outdoor structures, including patios, sheds, workshops, greenhouses and more. For tailored advice on whether your outdoor structure requires a concrete slab, contact our landscaping specialists.
Should the concrete be poured before or after the shed is built? While it is possible to do it in either order, it is generally better to lay the concrete first to minimise the risk of sinking or corrosion of your shed walls. Wet concrete can rust the bottom of your shed walls or allow them to sink slightly due to their weight, so pouring the concrete first and allowing it to cure properly ensures your shed will last longer and be less at risk of early damage.
How long does it take a concrete slab to dry? Concrete slabs usually take 24-48 hours to dry fully. It is best to wait until at least the next day before walking on or touching concrete after it has been poured. Also, wait at least 5-7 days before placing a lot of weight, such as driving, building or placing furniture on it to minimise the risks of cracking or chipping.
How much does it cost to lay a concrete slab? The cost of concrete slabs can vary depending on the size, shape and complexity of the pour. While concrete is often more affordable than other natural stone or brick options, it can carry a significant cost if the slab is larger or has a more decorative design.
