🏝️ Honed Concrete Pool Surrounds – Luxury, Safety & Style Combined

When it comes to creating a sleek, modern pool area that’s built to last, honed concrete stands out as one of the most durable and elegant finishes available. At K & Co Contracting, we specialise in crafting honed pool surrounds across North Brisbane, Moreton Bay, and the Sunshine Coast that balance style, safety, and functionality.

💎 What Is Honed Concrete?

Honed concrete is achieved by mechanically grinding back the surface of cured concrete to expose the fine aggregate beneath, followed by sealing. The result?
A smooth, matte finish that’s visually stunning and comfortable underfoot, perfect for outdoor entertaining and poolside areas.

🌞 Why Choose Honed Concrete for Pool Surrounds?

Slip-Resistant Surface – With the right sealant, honed concrete offers excellent grip even when wet — ideal for kids running around the pool.
Cool Underfoot – Unlike darker pavers or tiles, honed concrete stays cooler under the Australian sun.
Low Maintenance – No weeds, shifting pavers, or grout lines to worry about. Just sweep and hose down occasionally.
Customisable – Choose from a wide range of colours, aggregates, and finishes to complement your home’s architecture.
Built to Last – Properly sealed honed concrete resists cracking, fading, and pool chemicals.

Concrete Sealing

Importance of Sealing Concrete: Sealing concrete surfaces can help protect against damage from moisture, staining, and other factors that can cause deterioration over time. It can also enhance the appearance of the surface and make it easier to clean and maintain.

Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Exposed aggregate is a popular decorative concrete technique that involves removing the top layer of concrete to reveal the natural aggregate underneath. This creates a textured surface that is both visually appealing and slip-resistant.

Excavation

Excavation is typically done with the use of heavy machineries, such as excavators or Skidsteer bobcats, as well as hand tools like shovels and picks. Proper excavation techniques are important for ensuring the stability and longevity of the finished concrete structure, as well as minimizing the risk of accidents or damage to surrounding structures.
