Slabs on sloping and hillside sections
Hillside slabs need careful excavation, retaining and drainage. We build reinforced concrete slabs with accurate levels so your house, garage or shed sits on a strong, stable and level base.

Concrete Services in Ohauiti
Ohauiti's growing residential streets regularly call for new concrete slabs, driveways and outdoor living surfaces as properties are built out and extended. We provide concrete services throughout Ohauiti, from shed and garage slabs through to full driveway installations.
Every slab is prepared with proper excavation and compaction beneath it, since a well-prepared base is what determines how long a slab lasts, regardless of what it's ultimately used for.
What We Do
Ohauiti Concrete
Driveways on steep lifestyle blocks
Steep driveways must be safe in all weather. We design gradients, textured finishes and drains that give vehicles reliable grip and keep water from damaging the surface or your property.
Sheds, garages and granny flat slabs
A strong, level slab is the foundation of any outbuilding. We prepare the site, reinforce and pour slabs for sheds, garages and granny flats to the thickness and specification required.
Drainage and retaining solutions
Controlling water carefully protects your concrete and home. We install drains, falls and retaining structures that manage runoff on Ohauiti's sloping sections and prevent erosion, pooling, slumping and ground movement.
Featured Project
Concrete Slab in Ohauiti
This project involved pouring a concrete slab for an Ohauiti property, creating a low-maintenance outdoor surface finished with a durable broom texture.
The finished slab gives the property a stable, functional surface ready for everyday use, built on a properly compacted base to prevent future settling or cracking.
- Durable broom-finished surface
- Properly compacted base for long-term stability
- Low-maintenance, functional outdoor space
- Built to last for decades

Questions
Ohauiti FAQs
Quick answers before you book a site visit.
Do you provide free quotes in Ohauiti?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for concrete slabs, driveways and other concrete work throughout Ohauiti.
Can you pour a slab for a shed or garage in Ohauiti?
Yes, we regularly pour concrete slabs for sheds, garages and outdoor structures, sized and reinforced to suit what will be built on them.
Do you work outside Ohauiti as well?
Yes, alongside Ohauiti we work throughout Tauranga, Pyes Pa and the wider Bay of Plenty region.
How thick should a shed or garage slab be?
A typical shed or garage slab is about 100 millimetres thick, with thicker edges and steel mesh for added strength. Vehicles, heavy equipment or poor ground need a stronger design. We assess your use, soil and site before confirming thickness and reinforcement so your slab stays level, strong and crack-resistant.
Does a slab on a sloping Ohauiti section need an engineer?
Often yes. Slabs on slopes may need specific design for foundations, retaining and drainage, and building consent may require engineer input. Requirements vary by site and building size. We can work with your engineer or builder to prepare and pour a slab that meets the plans and any consent conditions.
How do you stop water pooling around a hillside slab?
We plan drainage before pouring, using subsoil drains, correct falls away from the slab and channel drains where needed. Directing downpipes and runoff to stormwater or soakage also matters. Controlling water early protects the slab, foundations and retaining walls from moisture damage, cracking and ground movement on Ohauiti's sloping sections.
