Can you lay it over my existing tiles or concrete?+

Yes. We lay over concrete, tiles, pavers and asphalt, as long as the base is solid. That means no jackhammers and far less mess than a full replacement. We'll check the base at the free measure.

What about cracks in my driveway?+

Minor cracks are repaired and prepped before we lay. If a slab is badly broken, sinking or moving, we need to see it first, and we'll tell you honestly if it needs fixing before any coating goes down.

How much does it cost?+

It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface and the stone you pick. The measure and quote is free, and you get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is it slippery around the pool?+

No. Depending on the stone it has an R10 to R13 slip rating, which is why it's so popular around pools and wet areas.

How long until we can use it?+

Usually you can walk on it within about 24 hours and drive on it after about 48 hours, depending on the weather.

Will it fade or go yellow in the sun?+

We use a UV-stable polyurethane resin, so it holds its colour under the Queensland sun.

Does water drain through it?+

It can. There's an optional permeable system that lets water soak through, or we can lay a sealed finish. We'll talk through which suits your area.

How do I look after it?+

Give it a sweep and an occasional wash. That's it.

What warranty do you give?+

Our resin bound stone work is backed by a 10-year warranty. You'll get the details in writing with your quote.

Which areas do you cover?+

The Gold Coast and surrounds, from the northern suburbs down to Coolangatta. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.
