What we pour

Every slab
around the house.

Driveways, slabs, pool surrounds and the decorative work across Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast and Newcastle — a licensed concretor, and one crew that sees every pour through.

The finish Lake Mac asks for by name. Poured, retarded, washed off the next day to reveal the stone, then sealed — in the mixes on this site: Cowra white, ivory, basalt blends and ocean floor.

  • Cowra white, ivory, basalt & ocean-floor mixes
  • Oxide-tinted to suit the house colours
  • Sealed once cured; grip when wet

Exposed, coloured or plain broomed — cut to the boundary, falling the right way, with the drains and edges done properly so it still reads clean in ten years.

  • Full-width drives, turning areas & paths
  • Grated and strip drains cast in
  • Acreage driveways poured in sections

From a granny-flat slab to a 640m² shed and a suspended slab over a garage and cellar. Boom-pumped where access is tight, machine-floated flat, poured to the engineer's drawings.

Why East Edge

Concrete built to outlast your lifetime.

East Edge Concreting is Cameron Thomas and his crew — exposed aggregate, driveways, slabs and pool surrounds across Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast & Newcastle.

01The concretor quotes it and pours it

Cameron measures the job, prices it, and is on the tools the day it goes in. The bloke you met on the first visit is the one floating your slab.

02Decorative is the specialty, not a sideline

Exposed aggregate in named mixes, honed seamless pool edges, off-form walls and cast seats. The finishes most concretors sub out, done in-house.

03Any size, same crew

A 50m² path or a 1,300m² acreage driveway. Shed slabs to 640m², suspended slabs with the builder. Pump, trucks and crew planned so it's finished before it goes off.

04Backed by the suppliers on the job

Boral, Hymix and Premier Concrete are named on his pours. When Hymix watched the suspended slab go in: “Now that's a pour! Great work by the whole crew.”

Straight from the comments
  • @jodyemcfarlaneHi, How do I organise a quote for honed concrete around my pool? Thanks.
  • @brocthomassHow can I book in?

People already ask how to book off the reels. The form below is the answer — get a quote.

The process

Prep. Pour. Finish.

Concrete only gives you one go at it. This is the sequence every East Edge job follows — from the first measure-up to the day it’s sealed — and it’s the same sequence you can watch in the reels above.

01Measure up on site

Cameron comes out, measures the area, checks falls, access for trucks and the pump, and talks through finishes with samples in hand. You get a written quote — free.

02Prep and formwork

Excavation and base, then the formwork set to the levels. On a pool surround that means the set-out around the shell; on a slab it means the engineer's drawings on the ground.

03Reinforcement

Mesh and bar on chairs, edge beams and thickenings where the drawings call for them, drains and skimmer lids cast in so nothing gets cut in afterwards.

04The pour

Trucks timed, boom-pumped where access is tight, screeded and bull-floated while it's workable. Big pours are planned in sections so every part is finished before it goes off.

05The finish

Broomed, trowelled or machine-floated for plain and coloured work. On exposed aggregate the surface is retarded and washed off the next day to reveal the stone — the bit on the Wangi Wangi reel.

06Cure and seal

Left to cure, then sealed on exposed and honed finishes. We tell you when you can walk on it, when you can drive on it, and how to look after it.

The concretor

Quoted and poured

East Edge is Cameron’s name on the licence, on the trucks and on every job on this page. There’s no sales rep and no handover — you deal with the concretor from the first measure-up to the day it’s sealed.

Cameron runs East Edge and is on every pour. He's the licensed concretor on the register, the nominated supervisor, the one who measures up your job and the one who answers the phone — so the person who quotes it is the person who floats it. The crew are his own, and the trucks are signwritten with his name on them.

About East Edge

Local. Licensed.On the tools.

East Edge Concreting is a Summerland Point concreting business run by Cameron Thomas, pouring across Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast & Newcastle. The first truck went on the road in 2022; the feed since then is exposed-aggregate driveways, coloured and honed finishes, shed and house slabs, pool surrounds and the decorative pieces — stairs, off-form walls and cast seats.

The mixes are named on every job, the suppliers are the ones you’d want on a pour — Boral, Hymix, Premier Concrete — and the finishing is done by the same crew every time. The business also backs local sport as a sponsor of the Central Coast Sevens.

His own line says it: “Give us a call or email for a free quote on your next concrete project.”

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Driveways, paths, house and shed slabs, suspended slabs, pool surrounds, stairs, retaining walls and outdoor seats — across Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast & Newcastle. Most of the work is decorative: exposed aggregate first, then coloured, plain broomed, and honed or polished finishes.

The ones you see on the jobs here: 100% Cowra white with oxide, 100% ivory with arctic oxide, 80% Cowra white / 20% basalt with black oxide, and the darker “ocean floor” blend of 80% limestone / 20% basalt. We'll bring samples so you choose the stone and the oxide against your house colours, not off a screen.

Call, email or use the form and we'll come out, measure the job and talk through finishes on site. Quotes are free. If you've got plans or an engineer's drawing, send them through — for a slab that's what we price from.

Yes. East Edge Concreting Pty Ltd holds NSW Contractor Licence 478830C (class General Concretor) with Cameron as the nominated supervisor. ABN 38 663 400 477. You can verify the licence on the NSW Fair Trading register.

Yes — shed slabs and aprons of 340, 410, 490 and 640m² are on the feed, along with a 1,300m² acreage driveway poured in sections and a suspended slab over a garage and wine cellar. Big pours are planned around pump and truck access, and we bring the crew to finish them properly before they go off.

That's a specialty. Exposed aggregate or a honed seamless-edge surround — including circle pools with a waterfall edge — with proper falls and drainage away from the water. We also make stainless-steel skimmer and inspection lids so there's no plastic square in the middle of your finish.

You can generally walk on a new slab or driveway the next day and drive on it after about a week, with sealing on exposed aggregate once it has cured — we'll give you the exact timing for your job and the weather when we pour.
