Residential Concreting & Patio Slabs
Concreting
Naxan Renovations delivers high-quality residential concreting solutions that turn unused, overgrown outdoor space into clean, functional, and long-lasting hard surfaces. This project covered two connected areas of the property: a narrow side access path running alongside the home, and a full backyard patio slab.
The side path had been left as bare dirt and dead weeds for years, making it an eyesore and an impractical route past the home’s outdoor air conditioning unit and water tanks. In the backyard, only a small, undersized concrete slab existed near the sliding doors, with the rest of the yard left as patchy, unusable lawn.
Naxan Renovations transformed both areas with a decorative swirl-finished concrete surface, neatly incorporating the existing rainwater tanks and AC unit into the design. The result is a fully connected concrete path and patio that improves accessibility, presentation, and everyday usability across the entire outdoor space.
Key Features
Each feature of this project is planned to make outdoor spaces more usable, low-maintenance, and visually consistent — from the side access path through to the full backyard patio.
Decorative Swirl-Finish Concrete
A hand-trowelled swirl finish adds visual texture and slip resistance, elevating the look of the concrete beyond a standard flat pour.
Integrated Utility Areas
The concrete design neatly incorporates existing rainwater tanks, hot water units, and outdoor AC systems, keeping utility areas clean, accessible, and functional.
Full Side-to-Backyard Connectivity
The side path and backyard patio were concreted as one connected surface, creating seamless, consistent access from the front to the rear of the property.
Bare dirt and dead weeds along the side path, with the outdoor AC unit and water tanks sitting on exposed ground; in the backyard, a small isolated concrete slab and a mostly bare, dry lawn.
The site was cleared and leveled, timber formwork was set along the path and patio edges, and concrete was poured and finished with a decorative swirl texture.
A clean, continuous concrete path connects the side of the house through to a significantly expanded backyard patio slab — neatly incorporating the water tanks and AC unit, and giving the property a fully usable, low-maintenance outdoor space.
Existing weeds, dead grass, and uneven ground are cleared, and the site is leveled and prepared around fixed features like AC units and water tanks.
Timber formwork defines the path and patio edges, followed by a precise concrete pour and hand-finished decorative surface texturing.
The concrete is left to cure, formwork is removed, and the site is cleaned up, leaving a finished, ready-to-use path and patio.
Bare dirt and weeds along the side of the house create a messy, impractical route that’s difficult to walk or work around, especially near AC and utility equipment.
A small, isolated concrete slab limits how much of the backyard can actually be used for outdoor living, leaving the rest as patchy, unmanaged lawn.
Separate, unfinished sections around the home create an inconsistent look and make everyday movement around the property less convenient.
A continuous concrete path replaces the dirt and weeds, creating a clean, low-maintenance route that neatly incorporates existing equipment.
A significantly larger concrete slab extends the usable outdoor living area, giving the household real space for outdoor furniture, storage, or entertaining.
By concreting the side path and patio as one continuous project, the whole property gains a consistent, finished look and easier day-to-day access.
Concrete patio costs vary based on size, finish, and site preparation required. A free on-site quote is the best way to get an accurate price for your space.
A swirl finish is a hand-trowelled texture applied to fresh concrete, creating a decorative pattern that also improves slip resistance compared to a flat, smooth finish.
Yes. With careful formwork planning, concrete paths and slabs can be built around and neatly incorporate existing fixtures like rainwater tanks, hot water systems, and AC condensers.
Most side path and patio concreting projects take between a few days and one to two weeks, depending on the total area and site preparation needed.
Concrete is generally safe to walk on after 24–48 hours, but it's best to wait around 7 days before placing furniture, and a full 28 days for maximum strength.
