Choosing The Perfect Pathway for Your Surf Coast Home

Choosing the Perfect Concrete Pathway for Your Surf Coast Home

Upgrading your home in Geelong, Surfcoast and Bellarine with a concrete pathway significantly boosts both function and curb appeal. Concrete is superior to pavers or tiles because of its structural integrity and durability, meaning it won’t shift or sink—ideal for our region’s conditions.

Here’s what you need to know about choosing the perfect finish for your pathway:

1. Exposed Aggregate: The most popular choice across the Bellarine and Surf Coast regions.

One of the most recommended choices for residential pathways.

Aesthetics: The top layer is washed away to expose beautiful, natural stones (aggregate). This creates a custom, high-end look.

Safety & Durability: The textured finish provides an essential, built-in non-slip surface, reducing risks in damp areas common across coastal locations like Torquay, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads.

2. Coloured Concrete for Seamless Design

If you want a uniform colour that matches your home, coloured concrete is an good option.

Aesthetics: Pigment is added to the mix for a consistent colour throughout the slab. Modern homes in Armstrong Creek and Mt Duneed often choose charcoal or earthy tones.

Finish: This finish is paired with a broom finish to ensure necessary grip.

3. Stamped/Stencilled Concrete

This method mimics the look of traditional brick, slate, or cobblestone without the maintenance of individual pavers. It offers high customisation and a formal aesthetic.
