Replacing old, cracked driveways in established streets
Older driveways crack, sink and stain over time. We remove failed concrete, repair the base and pour a new, reinforced concrete driveway that looks fresh and suits your established street.

Concrete Services in Matua
Matua's sloped, established sections often call for concrete steps and terracing alongside standard driveway and patio work, particularly on properties with a level change between the street and the home. We provide concrete services throughout Matua suited to these kinds of sites.
Steps and terraced concrete work need careful planning around rise, run and drainage, and we assess each site individually rather than applying a generic standard to every sloped section.
What We Do
Matua Concrete
Concrete stairs and entry steps
Steps at your front door or in your garden should feel safe and look good. We build strong, even concrete stairs with non-slip finishes that suit your home and section.
Resurfacing and restoring tired concrete
If your concrete is sound but looks worn, resurfacing can restore it. We clean, repair and refinish faded surfaces, giving them a fresh appearance without the cost of full replacement.
Retaining walls and boundary work
Retaining walls and boundary slabs support soil and define your section. We build strong, neat, durable concrete walls with proper drainage that protect your property and last for many decades.
Featured Project
Stairs in Matua
This project involved building a set of concrete stairs for a Matua property, connecting different levels of the section with a safe, durable surface. The steps were finished with a broomed texture for reliable grip in wet weather.
Getting the rise and run of each step correct was central to the project, ensuring a comfortable, safe stairway that suits the property's sloped layout and everyday use.
- Broomed finish for safe, reliable grip
- Correctly proportioned rise and run for everyday comfort
- Built to handle a sloped, established section
- Durable, long-lasting concrete construction

Questions
Matua FAQs
Quick answers before you book a site visit.
Do you provide free quotes in Matua?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for steps, driveways and patios throughout Matua.
Can you build concrete steps on a sloped section?
Yes, we regularly build concrete steps and terracing for sloped and established sections, planning rise, run and drainage around your specific site.
Do you work outside Matua as well?
Yes, alongside Matua we work throughout Tauranga, Judea, Otumoetai and the wider Bay of Plenty region.
How long does it take to replace an old driveway?
Most residential driveways take two to four days of work, covering removal, base preparation, formwork, pouring and finishing. Size, access and weather affect timing. The new concrete then usually needs about a week before regular vehicle use. We will give you a clear timeline when we provide your free quote.
Can a cracked driveway be repaired instead of replaced?
Minor cracks can often be repaired, while wide cracks, sunken sections and heavy surface damage usually mean replacement is the better long-term option. We carefully inspect the slab, check for drainage or base problems and give clear, honest advice on whether repair, resurfacing or replacement offers the best long-term value.
Do I need council approval to replace a vehicle crossing in Matua?
Work on the section of driveway between your boundary and the road usually needs approval from Tauranga City Council, and specifications such as thickness and width apply. Your driveway inside the boundary is generally simpler. We can help you understand what is needed before work begins, including timing and costs.
