Stencilled Concrete Melbourne
We Can Help Your Find Your Favourite Stencilled Concrete Patterns
Add Dramatic Impact Without the Price Tag
As homeowners seek to enjoy their outdoor spaces, the demand for visually striking and unique design solutions is on the rise.
Stencilled concrete patterns, a popular choice for concreting in Melbourne, offer an incredible way to add character and refinement to patios, driveways, and walkways. These patterns, imitating the look of everything from intricate brickwork to elegant stone, bring an artistic flair to concrete surfaces.
The versatility of stencilled concrete in Melbourne enables the design of truly custom patterns, offering homeowners a chance to customise their properties with a unique and individual touch
The Craftsmanship Behind Stencilled Concrete
Creating stencilled concrete is a blend of art and engineering. The process begins by laying down a base layer of fresh concrete. While the concrete is still wet, stencils—often made from paper, plastic, or metal—are carefully placed on the surface to outline the chosen patterns or designs.
Once the stencils are securely positioned, a coloured hardener is applied over the top. This serves to add both hue and durability to the finished product. After allowing some time for the concrete to partially set, the stencils are delicately removed, revealing a beautiful, customised design that’s as durable as it is visually engaging. Unlike stamped concrete, which relies on texture to create its aesthetic, stencilled concrete combines the texture of the base layer with the added hue of coloured concrete for a multi-dimensional effect
WHY CHOOSE STENCILLED CONCRETE?
Stencilled concrete is a fantastic option for any home and offers many advantages, including:
-
Cost effective yet attractive
Materials like natural stone, tile and even brick can be incredibly expensive. They’re also labour-intensive to lay, which is more cost added. Concrete, on the other hand, is far more affordable and quicker to install, saving you some hard earned money. -
Ease of maintenance
On top of being expensive, other materials are also known for being quite high maintenance. Cracked tiles have to be replaced, bricks have to be re-grouted, and so on. Concrete eliminates a lot of these issues and is also far easier to clean. -
Suits any outdoor area
One of the best things about stencilled concrete is that it can be used in pretty much any outdoor area around your property. This includes driveways, patios, backyard entertaining areas, gazebos, footpaths, pool areas, and garden paths. -
Created for Australian conditions
There can be no denying that Australian homes are subjected to some tough conditions, from scorching summers to icy winters. All of the colour additives, stencils, and sealants we use have been designed to suit these harsh conditions.

Commercial Properties can Also Benefit
Stencilled concrete can also be used around commercial properties, giving business owners and landlords who are bottom-line-conscious the ability to appear more upscale without breaking the bank. Why not create an entryway or a showroom that gives that real wow factor when customers walk through the door?
Stencilling can also be a great way to add some customisation to your commercial property. Add your logo onto the floor, wall or anywhere you have concrete.

Your Stencilled Concrete Questions Answered
Can new concrete be colour matched to existing concrete?
If you already have stencilled concrete on your property and want to add to it, we understand the desire to colour-match. We will do our best to match as closely as possible, but please note some variation may occur.
Is stencilled concrete slippery?
As the concrete surface can be relatively smooth, yes, it can become slippery when wet or icy. However, we frequently add a texture to the surface once the colour has been applied to provide extra grip.
Is stencilled concrete prone to cracking?
All concrete is, unfortunately, subject to cracking eventually. Please be reassured that we do everything we can to prevent this, including preparing the subgrade properly and cutting control joints in.
Is stencilled concrete the same as painted?
No, the processes for stencilling and painting are very different. Whilst stencilled concrete does leave you with a coloured surface, there isn’t a risk for streaking and other issues that can occur with painting.
How long does stencilled concrete last?
This will depend on a number of factors, including where it has been laid and how well it’s cared for. As a whole, however, we expect it to last a minimum of 5 years but has been known to last for decades.

STENCILLED CONCRETE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your stencilled concrete surface will require some special care and maintenance to keep it looking as good as new:
- Resealing it every year or two (make sure you use a good quality sealant)
- Sweep regularly, particularly when leaf matter and soil are present (to avoid staining)
- Avoid using a pressure washer, as this may remove the colour and cause striping
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners (mild detergent and water are best)
