Home / Areas / Macedon Concreting in Macedon

Concreting at the foot of the mount

Macedon blocks are not standard suburban lots. Slopes, trees, longer driveways and bushfire considerations - we plan and pour around all of it.

Concreting amongst the gums in Macedon

Macedon blocks are not standard rectangles of grass. Most have a slope, most have trees that the owners want to keep, and a lot have a longer driveway than you’d find on a township lot. That means the prep is different, the formwork has to work around what’s already there, and the finish has to sit comfortably next to timber, stone and the landscape.

We’ve done long curving driveways on properties off Black Forest Drive, slabs for studios and sheds tucked behind the family home, and exposed aggregate that picks up the colour of the local stonework. The trick is in the planning: making sure the fall takes water away from the house and the bush, and that the slab sits true on whatever the block is doing underneath.

What we do in Macedon

Most Macedon work is residential and architectural in flavour. People who’ve made the move from town tend to care how the concrete sits in the landscape, and we like that. We’ll talk you through the finish options, what suits the rest of the property, and what will hold up best to the gum leaves, the shade and the temperature swings up here.

Why Macedon locals call BMT

We treat your block like our block. That means thinking about the tree roots before we cut, planning the pour around the rest of the build, and leaving the site as tidy as we found it.
