Choosing the right concrete finish can make a big difference to the look, feel and function of your home.

Plain concrete, exposed aggregate and coloured concrete each offer different benefits depending on your space, style, budget and how the area will be used. From driveways and pathways through to patios, outdoor living areas and hard landscaping, the right finish helps create a practical and long-lasting result.

At By Design Concrete & Paving, we can help you compare your options and choose a finish that suits your home.

A throwback, but a stunning one at that and an award-winning project we’re still incredibly proud of.

This Herne Bay project won By Design Concrete & Paving a Gold in the Landscape Awards a few years back, showcasing the level of detail, planning and finish our team brings to high-end Auckland concrete and hard landscaping projects.

The scope included white exposed concrete using a Firth Concrete mix, pool coping, stepping stones, garden edging, basalt strips and so much more.. all designed to create a clean, architectural outdoor space that complements the home and landscape.

A beautiful example of how quality concrete, paving and hard landscaping can completely elevate an Auckland property.

Permeable concrete is a smart solution for areas where water management matters.

Designed to allow rainwater to pass through the surface and drain naturally into the ground below, permeable concrete helps reduce surface water build-up, supports better stormwater management and provides a durable finish for driveways, pathways, car parks and outdoor spaces.

At By Design Concrete & Paving, we work with practical concrete solutions that suit the site, the environment and the long-term use of the space.

If you’re planning a concrete project and want to explore permeable options, get in touch with our team.
