Eagleby sits on the low flat ground east of Beenleigh, between the Logan and Albert rivers and the motorway. The housing is mostly established, a good share of it rental, and the concrete reflects that: driveways poured decades ago, paths that have moved, carport slabs patched more than once. It is a replacement market rather than a new-build one.
One thing worth saying plainly. We do not do the work. We are a referral service that passes your job to experienced, insured local concreters covering Eagleby.

- Replacing cracked and sunken driveways on established blocks

Flat ground near Beenleigh means drainage decides the job
On a flat Eagleby block the fall is the whole trick. A patio or path with no fall holds water, grows moss and eventually lifts whatever sits on it. Ask the concreter where the water is going before they form up, and expect a grated drain where a slab sits hard against the house. Logan City Council owns the stormwater in the street, and the water and sewer mains belong to Logan Water, a business unit of the same council, so there is one place to ask about a connection point.
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Eagleby, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If the property is tenanted or managed, tell us at the quote stage. Access arrangements and who signs off change how the concreter schedules the pour.
What concreting costs in Eagleby
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Access here is usually straightforward, which keeps the price honest. What moves an Eagleby quote is how much old concrete has to come out and whether the falls need rebuilding rather than matched. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
Two things to have in writing before you sign. In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, so ask for the licence number and check it on the QBCC register. And approval requirements sit in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by Logan City Council and private building certifiers, so confirm what your job needs with the council or a certifier.

Frequently asked questions
How long before I can park on a new driveway?
Keep vehicles off for about a week. Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two, and full strength takes around 28 days.
Can you pour over the old driveway to save money?
Not for a driveway. An overlay on a slab that is already moving will crack with it. Spray-on resurfacing only makes sense on concrete that is sound and stable.
Do I need approval for a concrete path in my back yard?
A path on your own land is normally straightforward. Approval questions come up when the slab is part of a roofed structure, and those rules sit in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by Logan City Council and private building certifiers.
