Concrete Preparation Services Gold Coast

Concrete Preparation Services

Preparing and levelling an area for a new concrete slab or driveway can be a simple and straightforward process when it’s done right. At Micro Excavations, we provide the precision earthworks required to create a rock-solid foundation. Using our specialised tight-access machinery, we handle the heavy lifting, spoil removal, and subgrade levelling to ensure your concrete doesn't crack, sink, or hold water.


To ensure your concreting project is a success, there are two critical factors to consider:

01   Access, Access, Access

Our equipment is designed to squeeze through doorways, under carports, and down narrow side passages. however, for a smooth operation, we need to plan the route carefully.



  • Measure the Gaps: We need to know the narrowest point the machine must navigate. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a "standard gate" width.
  • Watch for Obstructions: Don’t forget to look up and out—account for protruding downpipes, garden taps, and meter boxes that might restrict our movement.
  • Site Preparation: Clear the area of any loose items or debris. As an extra precaution, we recommend wrapping your hot water service or low-hanging pipes in old carpet to protect them during the excavation.

02   Drainage & Grading

Queensland is renowned for its torrential downpours, and poor preparation can lead to costly water damage.



  • Correct Fall: We ensure the subgrade is graded so that the finished concrete falls away from your house or building.
  • Strategic Runoff: Proper levelling ensures water is directed to appropriate drainage points rather than pooling in your backyard and creating a permanent bog.
  • Long-term Stability: By getting the drainage right during the preparation phase, we protect the integrity of your slab and prevent the ground underneath from eroding.
