Transform your outdoor living space with a custom concrete patio or porch from Lower & Upper Hutt Concrete Services. With decades of experience, our skilled concrete patio installers specialise in designing and installing durable, beautiful entertainment spaces throughout Wellington, delivering premium results that enhance your property's functionality and value.


As your local concrete contractors, we understand Wellington's unique terrain and weather challenges. From intimate concrete backyard installations to expansive concrete front porch areas at your home entrance, we design solutions that enhance functionality and outdoor living while standing up to the elements.


After completing numerous installations across the Hutt Valley, we consistently hear from homeowners about how their new outdoor entertaining area has transformed their daily routines. What begins as a straightforward exterior improvement quickly becomes the central hub for family activities and casual entertaining. The durability factor resonates strongly with our clients, while timber decking requires annual maintenance, a properly installed cement patio and porch maintains its appearance and functionality year after year with minimal upkeep.


While building concrete patios and porches is our specialty on this page, our skilled contractors offer comprehensive concrete solutions across the board. We excel at concrete driveway installation, walkways, concrete steps and stairs, pads and slabs for garage and shed foundations, interior concrete floors, retaining walls, decorative concrete applications, and car park construction services. Whether you need patio extension work or a completely new installation, our experienced team has the expertise to deliver exceptional results.


Throughout this page, you'll discover our complete range of services. We'll cover everything from using plain cement with attractive finishes like broom, swirl, and border treatments, to our premium options featuring stamped concrete surfaces, patio pavers, concrete decks, exposed aggregate and coloured concrete applications.


We'll break down concrete patio costs and pricing, with installations typically ranging from $180 to $240 per square metre, depending on the concrete mix, site conditions, and design complexity. You'll also learn about our commitment to compliance, our contractors strictly follow building regulations and guidelines from both the Hutt City Council and Upper Hutt City Council. Whether you're in suburbs like Avalon or Petone in Lower Hutt, or areas like Heretaunga or Trentham in Upper Hutt, we ensure your new patio slab and porch will meet your local council requirements.


We'll walk you through our simple three-step process that makes construction straightforward and stress-free.

Understanding your investment is crucial when planning your dream outdoor space. Our experienced concrete patio contractors typically charge between $180 to $240 per square metre for professional patio and porch installations, delivering exceptional value while maintaining the highest quality standards across the Hutt Valley.


Several factors influence where your project falls within this range. Landscape complexity significantly impacts costs; properties with steep slopes, rocky terrain, or challenging soil conditions in areas like Belmont's hillsides require specialised equipment and additional preparation. Additionally, elevated properties in Shiloh often present unique access challenges that affect overall project costs. Site accessibility is equally important, as narrow driveways or limited vehicle access naturally increase labour requirements.


Your choice of concrete finish and design complexity directly affects project investment. Standard concrete installations represent the most cost-effective option, while premium finishes such as stamped patterns, exposed aggregate textures, or decorative paver systems require additional materials and specialised techniques that increase the overall investment.


Most concrete patio and porch projects are completed within 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. Simple single-level patios typically require 2-3 days, while multi-level installations with decorative finishes may extend to 5-7 days. Weather conditions and curing requirements can affect project timelines, particularly during Wellington's wetter months, but we provide realistic schedules during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.


Every property presents unique challenges, which is why online calculators often disappoint when reality doesn't match expectations. Our detailed, obligation-free consultations eliminate surprises by assessing your specific site conditions and providing accurate pricing tailored to your exact requirements.

  • What maintenance and upkeep is required to keep my new outdoor surfaces in excellent condition?

    Front concrete porch maintenance tips for long-lasting condition.

    Your professionally installed concrete outdoor surfaces require minimal maintenance to maintain their appearance and structural integrity for decades. Regular cleaning with a garden hose and occasional pressure washing removes dirt, leaves, and surface stains, while prompt attention to any minor cracks or joint issues prevents larger problems from developing over time.


    For optimal longevity, we recommend annual inspections to check for any settling or minor surface issues, and periodic resealing of decorative finishes like exposed aggregate or coloured surfaces to maintain their protective barrier and visual appeal. With proper care, your concrete installation will continue looking excellent year after year, making it one of the most low-maintenance outdoor surface options available.
