Beenleigh is an old township, and the concrete work around it is the most mixed in Logan. Within a few kilometres you have genuinely old cottages on original frontages, a solid run of 1970s and 1980s infill with driveways now at the end of their lives, the town centre with its shopfronts and carparks, and brand-new estate climbing the hills behind at Bahrs Scrub and Windaroo. Those are not the same job and they do not price the same way.
A quick note on who we are. We do not pour concrete ourselves. We are a referral service, and we pass your job to experienced, insured local concreters who work across Beenleigh and the surrounding streets.
Common concreting jobs in Beenleigh
- Replacing original and 1970s driveways, usually with the crossover broken up at the kerb
- First concrete driveways on new estate blocks on the hills behind the town
- Alfresco slabs, patios and side paths on established homes
- Concrete slabs for sheds, garages and granny flats
- Exposed aggregate and coloured frontages on renovations and rebuilds
- Repairs to cracked, sunken and tree-lifted driveways and paths
- Shopfront, footpath and carpark work in and around the town centre, which falls under commercial concreting
Two markets on one map around Beenleigh
North and east of the town, around Eagleby, Bethania and the Logan and Albert river flats, the ground is low and flat and the houses are established. The work there is replacement and drainage: old concrete out, falls corrected, water sent somewhere sensible. South and west, up on the hills at Bahrs Scrub, Windaroo and Bannockburn, the work is first-time concrete on benched blocks, where the frontage falls away and the driveway has to deal with a step the builder left behind. If you are getting quotes, say which of those two you are, because the prep is the price.
Excavation and overlays in a low-lying Beenleigh street
Logan City Council maps acid sulfate soils across the low-lying parts of the city, and the river flats around Beenleigh are in that part of the map. For a driveway or a path it rarely comes up, because the excavation is shallow. For anything that involves real digging it is one of the things that gets checked, so it is worth pulling the council's PD Hub property report for your address before the machine arrives. That report also lists the other overlays on your block, which is a better answer than any assumption about what the ground does.
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Beenleigh, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If the old crossover is breaking up where it meets the kerb, mention it when you ask for the quote. That strip is Logan City Council's land, a new or altered crossover usually needs the council's approval, and it is better dealt with at the start than discovered mid-job.
What concreting costs in Beenleigh
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Demolition is often the biggest line in a Beenleigh quote, because so many of the driveways here are original. Breaking out and carting away old concrete typically adds around $30 to $100 per square metre on top of the pour. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, and whether a job needs a building approval depends on what it is and where it sits. Those rules are in the Building Regulation 2021, and Logan City Council and private building certifiers apply them. Ask the concreter to confirm licensing and approvals in the written quote before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
Is my old driveway worth repairing instead of replacing?
If one or two panels are cracked and the base is sound, a panel replacement is usually the cheaper answer. If it is sunken, lifting at the joints or cracked throughout, a repour normally wins. See concrete repairs.
Who owns the broken bit at the kerb?
The strip between your boundary and the kerb is Logan City Council's land, and so is the footpath. A new or altered crossover usually needs the council's approval, and the council sets the requirements and the fee, so get those from them.
Can the driveway, path and patio be done in one go?
Yes, and it is almost always cheaper. One setup, one delivery run and one crew day beats three separate minimum charges.
