KK Concreting — Honed / Polished Concrete
Honed / Polished Concrete

Ground back to a smooth, low-sheen face.

The sharpest-looking finish we offer, and the one that shows off clean formwork and edges. Popular for entries and steps where you want something crisp rather than textured.

From $150/m²indicative only — firm price after a quick site visit
Honed aggregate step

What honed concrete actually is

The cured surface is ground back with diamond pads until it's smooth and low-sheen, exposing a touch of the aggregate underneath without the rough texture of a fully exposed finish. It's a grinding process done after the pour, not a different concrete mix.

Why homeowners choose it

Sharp lookThe cleanest, most refined finish we offer — shows off good formwork and straight edges.
Smooth underfootLow-sheen and even, suited to entries, steps and covered areas rather than open driveways.
Low-key textureA hint of the aggregate shows through without the rough grip of a fully exposed finish.

How a job runs

Four stages, in order. You'll know which one we're up to.

01

Site visit and quote

We measure up, check access for the truck and the fall for drainage, then quote a fixed price with the finish written on it.

02

Prep and formwork

Excavation, compacted base, formwork set to line and level, and reinforcement tied. This stage decides how the finished job looks.

03

Pour and finish

Concrete placed, screeded and worked to the finish you chose. Exposed aggregate gets washed back once the surface has gone off enough.

04

Cuts, seal and clean up

Expansion cuts in, sealer applied where it's needed, formwork and spoil taken away. We tell you when it's right to drive on.
