Concrete doesn’t have to look plain. In Mentone, on the Bayside coast, you can create stunning outdoor surfaces with the design flexibility and durability that concrete offers. From classic grey to custom colours, the possibilities are extensive.
Standard Grey: Timeless Appeal
There’s a reason standard grey concrete is everywhere—it works. It’s sophisticated, it suits any beach homes and character properties, and it ages beautifully. A well-maintained grey concrete driveway or patio looks professional and understated.
Coloured Concrete: Personal Expression
Ready to express your style? Coloured concrete opens up endless possibilities. Consider bold jewel-tone colours that make a statement, warm earth tones that complement natural landscaping, or textured finishes for safety and visual interest. You can also add custom patterns and borders for unique character to combine safety and visual appeal.
Designed for Mentone
The family beach suburb with Mentone Beach and shopping environment of Mentone lends itself perfectly to creative concrete design. The sandy clay soil typical in this area needs proper compaction before pouring to ensure a long-lasting result. Properties throughout Mentone and nearby Parkdale and Mordialloc showcase concrete’s versatility—from classic to contemporary.

Coloured concrete costs slightly more than standard grey due to the oxide pigments used. However, the price difference is modest and gives you a distinctive look. See the range of colours available.
Is sandy soil a concern for concrete foundations?
