Grade on a Lot of the Blocks
Not Trevallyn-steep, but enough that driveways and paths need setting out properly. A path that runs across a slope has to shed water sideways rather than down its length.
Areas We Cover
Concreters in West Launceston
West Launceston runs up from the CBD fringe towards Cataract Gorge. Close-in, established, and with enough slope in places that the levels have to be thought about rather than assumed.

On the Ground
What Concreting in West Launceston Actually Involves
Every suburb in Launceston throws up something slightly different. This is what we plan around here.
Close to the CBD, so Tight Access
Narrow streets and narrow side passages. Pumping is common and it is the first thing we assess when we come out.
Established Housing, Ageing Concrete
Long-settled streets with concrete of every vintage. Repair, replacement and resurfacing all get their share here, and which one you need depends on the slab rather than the age.
Steps and Levels Between Garden Terraces
Sloping gardens near the Gorge end mean flights of steps between levels. Even risers, grip on every tread, and drainage across each one.

Common Questions
West Launceston Questions We Get Asked
Is West Launceston steep enough to need a site cut?
Some streets, yes. It is gentler than Trevallyn, but plenty of blocks have enough fall that a level pad means cutting in on the high side. We measure the fall rather than eyeballing it.
Can you get concrete to a back yard near the Gorge?
Usually with a line pump. The blocks here are close-in with narrow side access, which is exactly what a line hose is for. It needs about 600mm and a route.
What do you do about a path across a slope?
Fall it sideways rather than along its length, so water leaves the path instead of running down it and pooling at the bottom. It is a small decision at set out and a large one afterwards.
