Your Outdoor Flooring Should Be Safe, Stylish & Built To Last
Your outdoor areas are high-traffic spaces exposed to the elements and they need to be as durable as they are visually striking. Unfortunately, not all honed concrete finishing is of the same quality. If honed incorrectly, concrete can become too porous, lose its slip-resistance or fail to withstand wear and weather. You deserve a flawless, safe and long-lasting surface from the beginning.
Flawless Honed Concrete, Built For Style & Safety
At DS Grinding, we believe outdoor concrete surfaces should be safe, durable and visually appealing. Whether for pool surrounds, patios or pathways, our expertly honed concrete provides a smooth, slip-resistant finish that enhances your space while standing up to the elements.
With over 18 years of experience, we specialise in precision honing techniques that bring out the natural beauty of concrete while improving its durability and functionality. Our process ensures a refined, non-porous surface, resistant to wear, fading and weather damage, without high maintenance requirements.
With DS Grinding, you get a premium, long-lasting surface that elevates your outdoor space with confidence.

What Our Clients Say
Darren is very easy to deal with and him and his team always complete a fantastic job. He has always been on schedule for his bookings if not even earlier than booked date. Very helpful that they leave a clean site too. Highly recommend!
The best in the business. I have used Darren and his team for many years. I have tried other companies and all I can say is I wish I had discovered DS sooner.
Honed my concrete alfresco area. Did a great job, friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend them.
Great all round service, the job turned out better than we hoped. We had our full house done minus bedrooms after builder handover. The guys did well to protect our cabinets, gave some good advice on timing for painting inside prior and after flooring work to protect walls and get best end results. Would highly recommend.
Two things for noting, I’ve not selected well priced but this is due to me not knowing what the standard is so I can’t comment. Also time at job toke a couple of days longer than first thought, no complaint for this due to the great end result but worth keeping in mind if you book back to back trades.
Would use again. Thanks guys
These guys are great. I’m a concreter and the communication was fantastic and so easy to deal with. Hard to come by good, reliable people these days. The job turned out unreal. Sensational service & the job quality is unmatched. Will be using you guys every time. Thanks heaps 🙏🏼
