Premium Coloured Concrete Driveways, Patios & Outdoor Areas Across Perth's South East
Coloured concrete is a durable, low-maintenance solution that adds style and lasting value to residential and commercial properties across Perth's South East. By incorporating high-quality oxide pigments throughout the concrete mix, it delivers a consistent, long-lasting colour that won't simply wear away like a surface coating. Whether you're building a new driveway, upgrading an outdoor entertaining area, or installing patios, pathways, pool surrounds, concrete crossovers, or shed slabs, coloured concrete offers the perfect balance of strength, practicality, and visual appeal.
At We Came to Concrete, we combine over 20 years of hands-on concreting experience, quality materials, and proven installation methods to deliver premium coloured concrete installations built for Western Australian conditions. From the initial site preparation through to the final finish, every project is completed with careful attention to detail, helping ensure a durable surface that looks great and performs reliably for years to come.
What Is Coloured Concrete?
Coloured concrete is created by adding high-quality oxide pigments throughout the entire concrete mix before it is poured. Unlike surface coatings or painted finishes, the colour runs through the slab itself, producing a consistent, long-lasting appearance designed to withstand everyday use. Available in a wide range of natural and contemporary colours, coloured concrete is a popular choice for driveways, patios, pathways, pool surrounds, alfresco areas, concrete crossovers, and residential concrete slabs where homeowners want a durable, low-maintenance surface with enhanced visual appeal.
Full-Depth Oxide Pigment Concrete Across Perth's South East
If you want a clean, modern style for your outdoor living zones but want to avoid the constant maintenance of traditional brick paving, coloured concrete is the perfect choice. It is highly durable, easy to clean, and completely eliminates the endless battles against sinking bricks, invasive weeds, and messy ant nests.
But here is the trade secret you need to know, we never spray cheap color coatings onto the surface of cold concrete just to save money on our quote.
That method flakes and peels off. Every single colour job we run uses premium oxide pigment mixed entirely through the concrete batch at the plant before it ever leaves the truck. That means the color is full-depth and built to last the lifetime of the slab.
Every colour project we pour is executed strictly to our heavy-duty standards:

Why Professional Installation Matters
Installing coloured concrete requires more than simply adding pigment to the mix. Achieving a consistent colour, durable finish, and long-lasting performance depends on proper site preparation, accurate batching, correct placement, professional finishing, and controlled curing.
At We Came to Concrete, we combine over 20 years of hands-on concreting experience with quality materials and proven installation methods to deliver exceptional results across a wide range of concreting projects. Our attention to detail helps ensure every coloured concrete driveway, patio, pool surround, pathway, crossover, and concrete slab is built to perform reliably, enhance your property's appearance, and provide lasting value for years to come.
Guaranteed 100mm Uniform Depth
We refuse to thin out our pours along the edges to scrimp on materials.
Whether it is a fresh patio extension, a backyard path, or an alfresco entertaining zone, we maintain a strict uniform thickness of 100mm from edge to edge to guarantee its load capacity.
Minimum SL62 Structural Mesh
We reinforce every single coloured concrete project with a minimum grade of SL62 structural steel mesh.
Tying the slab together internally minimizes severe cracking and ensures your outdoor investment stays level and secure.
Protecting Your Investment with Quality Concrete Sealing
Let’s be completely straight, any coloured concrete left exposed to the brutal Western Australian sun will fade and chalk out over time.
That is why we highly recommend applying either a premium commercial clear sealer or a dedicated colour sealer over the finished concrete.
This protective coating acts like sunscreen for your slab, blocking UV rays from bleaching the oxide tones while preventing oil drips or tyre marks from permanently staining the surface.
Our Colour Concrete Installation Process
🎨 1. Consultation & Colour Selection
Every project begins with a site inspection and consultation to understand your requirements, assess the site conditions, and help you select a coloured concrete finish that complements your home, landscaping, and surrounding outdoor spaces.
🚜 2. Site Preparation & Excavation
A quality installation starts with proper preparation. We excavate where required, prepare and compact the base, install formwork, and ensure the site is ready to provide a stable foundation for your new coloured concrete surface.
🏗️ 3. Reinforcement & Concrete Placement
We install a minimum of SL62 structural steel mesh and maintain our 100mm concrete thickness standard before pouring the concrete. Quality oxide pigments are mixed throughout the concrete batch to achieve consistent colour across the entire installation.
🧱 4. Professional Finishing
Once the concrete has been placed, we carefully level, finish, and texture the surface to achieve a clean, consistent appearance. Every stage is completed with attention to detail to help deliver a durable finish and attractive final result.
🛡️ 5. Curing & Protective Sealing
After the concrete has cured, we recommend applying a quality concrete sealer to help protect the surface from weathering, staining, and UV exposure while enhancing the richness of the colour and supporting long-term durability.
✅ 6. Final Inspection & Project Completion
Before handover, we complete a final inspection to ensure the project meets our quality standards. The finished coloured concrete installation is then ready to provide a durable, low-maintenance surface that enhances your property for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coloured Concrete
What is coloured concrete?
Coloured concrete is created by adding oxide pigments directly into the concrete mix before it is poured. Unlike painted or surface-coated concrete, the colour runs throughout the slab, providing a consistent, long-lasting finish that enhances the appearance of driveways, patios, pathways, pool surrounds, and other outdoor areas.
Does coloured concrete fade over time?
Quality oxide pigments are designed to provide long-lasting colour and perform well in Western Australia's climate. While all outdoor surfaces experience some natural weathering over time, proper installation, routine cleaning, and periodic sealing help maintain the appearance and durability of your coloured concrete for many years.
Can coloured concrete be used for driveways?
Yes. Coloured concrete driveways are a popular choice because they combine the strength and durability of traditional concrete with a wide range of attractive colour options. They are also suitable for patios, pool surrounds, pathways, concrete crossovers, alfresco areas, and shed slabs.
Does coloured concrete require sealing?
Yes. Applying a quality concrete sealer helps protect the surface from staining, moisture, UV exposure, and everyday wear while enhancing the richness of the colour. Periodic resealing is recommended to maintain both the appearance and long-term performance of your coloured concrete.
How long does coloured concrete last?
When installed using proper site preparation, reinforcement, quality materials, and proven construction methods, a coloured concrete installation can provide many years of reliable performance. Regular maintenance and resealing will help maximise its lifespan and keep it looking its best.
How do I choose the right colour for my project?
The best colour depends on your home's architecture, surrounding landscaping, roofing, paving, and personal preferences. At We Came to Concrete, we help homeowners select a coloured concrete finish that complements their property while delivering a practical, durable surface designed for long-term performance.
