Around Highett

Looking to freshen up the concrete around your Highett home? Our concrete resurfacing service covers your existing driveway, patio, or path with a new decorative finish. It is quicker, cleaner, and far more affordable than starting from scratch. For the post-war brick homes and newer townhouse developments found throughout Highett, the existing concrete is usually in good enough shape to resurface — it just needs a new face.
Available Finishes
Imitation exposed aggregate is a popular choice in Highett. It recreates the textured, natural stone appearance of traditional exposed aggregate, but with a smoother surface that is easier to clean and maintain.
A single colour blanket coat is a practical, clean option. It provides a uniform, contemporary finish across the entire surface and is the most cost-effective resurfacing choice for large driveways and paths.
If you prefer a patterned look, have a look at our stencil concrete or slate impression options.
What We See in Highett
We have worked on plenty of driveways and paths around Highett and Cheltenham and Hampton East. The post-war brick homes and newer townhouse developments in this area tend to have concrete from the 1940s to 1970s, which responds well to resurfacing once properly cleaned and repaired. Common issues include colour loss, hairline cracking, uneven surfaces from minor slab movement, and algae in damp corners.
Every job starts with a free site inspection so we can assess your surface and talk through the best options. If your concrete has structural problems that resurfacing cannot solve, we will tell you upfront — we would rather give you honest advice than take on a job that will not last.
We use commercial-grade resurfacing materials from Dulux Avista, designed specifically for Australian conditions. Combined with our thorough preparation process and decades of experience across Highett and the surrounding suburbs, the result is a finish that lasts and looks right long after the work is done.
Homeowners in Cheltenham and Hampton East can also take advantage of the same spray on paving service. We cover Highett and the surrounding suburbs throughout south-east Melbourne.

Concrete Resurfacing in Highett — FAQs
Do you offer concrete resurfacing in Highett?
Yes. Nupave provides concrete resurfacing across Highett and the surrounding Kingston area, covering driveways, patios, pool surrounds and pathways. Get in touch for a local assessment and quote.
Why does drainage matter for resurfacing in Highett?
Good drainage protects both the slab and the finish. Pooling water and poor fall accelerate sealer wear and can contribute to moisture problems and soil movement under the slab. Resurfacing can refresh the surface, but it can't correct major drainage fall – that needs to be addressed at slab level.
Is resurfaced concrete slip-resistant?
It can be. Textured systems and exposed aggregate overlays provide mechanical grip, and spray-textured finishes can achieve high slip ratings. The texture is specified to balance traction with comfort underfoot for foot-traffic areas.
Does the soil type in Highett affect concrete resurfacing?
It can. This is sand-belt country — the Brighton Group 'Red Bluff' clayey sands of the old south-eastern market-garden belt, generally well-drained and high-strength. Resurfacing refreshes a sound slab, but the right preparation and sealing approach has to suit that ground – so the finish lasts rather than lifting, cracking or wearing early. In practice, because the sand drains so freely, the focus shifts from joint movement to protecting edges and resisting the coastal salt-air UV load near the bay.
