The team

“Nothing was too much for these guys.”

Adam Valenti Concreting & Excavation is a Sunbury crew doing decorative concrete for people's homes: the driveway you pull into every night, the steps up to the front door, the outdoor area you've been putting off for years. Customers talk about the same things again and again. They turn up on time, they communicate well, the prices are fair and the finish is spot on.

Because they do the excavation too, there's no juggling a separate digger and concreter. One team takes the job from bare ground to the final finish, and Adam comes back afterwards to make sure it's right.

Finishes

Pick the look. The team pours it.

Every photo on this page is a job Adam's team has done. Here's what the main finishes look like once they're down.

01

Exposed aggregate

The stone in the mix brought up to the surface, so the finish has grip, texture and colour that won't show every tyre mark. Driveways, paths and full flights of steps, matched so the whole run reads as one pour.

Stencilled & stamped

Pattern and colour pressed into the concrete: herringbone, brick-effect and large-format tile looks, with contrast borders and colour flicks chosen for your place. One recent job on their Facebook page: “Herringbone Stencil, Dark Terracotta with Bluestone Flicks and Desert Sand Borders.”

Plain broom finish

Clean, hard-wearing grey concrete with a broomed surface and crisp feature control joints. Honest, durable and tidy, finished to meet retaining walls and steps without awkward gaps.

Before the pour

The groundwork is done in-house too.

Excavation

Ground dug out, levelled and prepared before any concrete goes down, so the finished surface sits where it should and stays that way.

Custom drainage

Drains customised to suit the new layout as part of the job, so water runs off your new paving and away from the house.

Outdoor living areas

Paved areas and patios that turn the backyard into somewhere you actually use, tied in with paths, steps and garden beds.

Steps

Concrete steps poured to line up with retaining walls, paths and driveways, in exposed aggregate or a plain finish to match.

Adam and the team came out over several days and brought our dreams to life.

How a job runs

From quoting to finishing, one crew.

The same four stages a customer described in their review, and the same people at every one of them.

  1. 1

    Quoting

    Adam comes out, talks through what you're after and gives you a clear price for the job.

  2. 2

    Excavation

    The site is dug out and prepared properly, including customising drains where the job needs it.

  3. 3

    Concreting

    The team pours and works the concrete: exposed aggregate, stencilled or plain, to the design you've settled on.

  4. 4

    Finishing

    Edges, joints and borders finished off, and Adam comes back afterwards to check it's all as it should be.

Fresh off the job

Still with the tape up.

Path, steps and garden edges all finished to meet each other, with nothing left to patch up later.

This entry path and its flight of steps were poured in matching exposed aggregate, curving around the existing garden rather than cutting through it.

Fifteen years we waited for this, but boy, was it worth it. Adam and his team, of approachable, personable, and completely professional guys, were amazing to watch. Quick, organised and passionate about achieving our goal. From design, to customising our drains, and even changes on the run. Nothing was too much for these guys, who left a brilliant finish. Transforming our outdoor living area, and our lives. Thanks Adam, for coming back to check on your work afterwards, just to make sure everything was perfect, and it is. We'll see you agian. Paul and Justine.

My husband & I recently had extensive work carried out at our home to our paved areas. After first contact with Adam, communication was faultless. Turned up on time, friendly, professional & informative. His team were the same. The workmanship & attention to detail was also faultless. Highly recommend.
