It really depends on the extent of the cracks and chips. Small cracks (around 1-3mm) and chips can be patched before we resurface. For larger or more severe damage, though, we might recommend replacing those areas with fresh concrete to ensure the best results. Our resurfacing system performs at its peak when applied over solid, stable concrete, so working with a sound foundation helps guarantee durability and longevity.While we can resurface heavily damaged concrete, it’s typically something we advise only for clients looking to boost curb appeal/ property value before a sale
For driveways and any other area that receives vehicle traffic, the resurfacing needs 7 days to cure with no vehicle traffic once we have finished. You can walk on the surface once the sealer has dried – normally a few hours after application. For a standard driveway you will need to anticipate parking your vehicles elsewhere for at least 9-10 days - 2-3 days for application and 7 days for curing.
We request that prior to our arrival and throughout the job the following actions are taken
-Areas to be resurfaced be completely cleared of all furniture, pot plants etc.
-Lawns mowed & edged (only applicable if the area to be resurfaced is next to a lawn)
-Over hanging bushes and plants will also need to be trimmed if they are obstructing the resurfacing area.
-Pets and children will need to be kept inside during the application process.
-Ensure that all watering/irrigation systems are turned off if they are nearby the areas that are being resurfaced.
-Vehicles parked at a minimum of 10m away from the area to be resurfaced.
EcoCrete Adelaide is a locally owned and independently operated business. It’s our focus to provide a top notch service and a product which adds"
EcoCrete stands out as the only resurfacing system using an eco-friendly, water-based sealer as the top coat. Competing systems are limited to solvent-based sealers, which contain petroleum, emit high VOCs, and leave a strong chemical odor. This also leads to an uneven, “stripy” finish, especially noticeable on darker surfaces, which doesn’t hold up aesthetically. In contrast, EcoCrete’s sealer is biodegradable, low in VOCs, UV-stable, and breathable, providing a clean, uniform finish without harsh odors or toxins. The color remains rich naturally, without depending on the sealer for enhancement, and only needs resealing every 3-5 years based on traffic.EcoCrete also offers convenient, low-cost repairs. Clients receive a small tub of base color to easily address minor chips themselves, avoiding costly callouts, while competitors’ systems require professional repairs. With these advantages, EcoCrete is clearly the superior, low-maintenance, and environmentally conscious choice for residential and commercial resurfacing projects
EcoCrete offers the largest range of colours in the industry as our product can be tinted like paint whilst other competing systems rely on a limited range of oxide colour packs. We offer a core range of finishes, if you want something outside of that we can order it in for an additional fee. Colours can be chosen from the Colorbond, Dulux and Wattyl ranges.
