Who's pouring

A local crew, and customers know Joab by name.

Joab Haines Concreting is a Cowra outfit. Customers don't write about “the company”, they write about Joab, and about “Joab and the boys” turning up to get a slab down.

The work runs from residential slabs beside brick homes in town to shed slabs, long driveways and large reinforced pours out on rural blocks. Reviews go back to 2021.

What people keep coming back to: nothing was an issue, the finish lines up where it should, and the price was fair.

“Nothing was an issue”

“Very reasonably priced”

Finished broom-finish slab beside a brick home in Cowra

House slabs

Formed up, poured and finished beside the house, with a clean edge and a broom finish that grips underfoot.

Shed slabs

Slabs for new sheds and garages, including the driveway run that joins the shed to the road.

Driveways

Pump on site, mesh laid, boxed and poured. One customer's driveway was finished so the slab met the road perfectly.

Farm and large slabs

Big rural pours too. One farm had three slabs done, another a 22m x 9m slab in a single job.

As well as the concrete

Pergolas and carports, too.

On one farm job Joab put down three slabs, then put up a pergola and a large carport on top of the concrete work. If the job needs a structure as well as a slab, it's worth asking.

“As an xtra for us he erected our pergola and a large carport.”

How a slab goes down

From the boxing to the finish.

Straight off Joab's own job photos. Every stage matters, because nobody can fix a slab once it's gone off.

  1. Timber formwork and stakes set out for a long slab on a rural block01

    Set out and boxing

    Levels checked, timber boxing staked in line before any concrete arrives.

  2. Reinforcement mesh laid out beside a shed with the pour underway02

    Reo mesh

    Steel mesh laid and chaired so the slab has strength right through it.

  3. Pump hose placing concrete into a driveway form03

    The pour

    Pumped in and screeded off while the crew works the full area together.

  4. Power trowel sitting on a freshly finished slab beside a shed04

    Trowel and finish

    Power trowelled and finished to suit the job, from smooth to broom.

Joab did our drive way to a new shed late last year. Nothing was an issue and he went above beyond making sure the slab met the road perfectly. Would definatly recommend.
AWAdam WilliamsGoogle review, 2024
Joab Haines has worked for us and provided us with 3 concrete slabs on our farm. As an xtra for us he erected our pergola and a large carport. He is a very articulate worker, and puts 110% into his work. Deffinately would recommend him as he has a very high work ethic. Very reasonably priced as well. Cheers Elizabeth
