Decorative & Polished Concrete in Harare

Polished concrete uses the slab you already have as the finished floor. Fewer materials, no coating to peel, and a finish that suits both industrial and minimalist interiors.

We progressively diamond-grind and densify the slab to the specified sheen, then seal it. Outdoors we install stamped and exposed aggregate concrete with control joints and slip profile.

Harare sits high on the Zimbabwean plateau with a genuinely temperate climate: a concentrated November-to-March rainy season, a dry cool winter, and some of the best-established garden suburbs in the region.

For decorative & polished concrete specifically, the deciding factor here is usually this: The whole year's rain arrives in a few months, so drainage, falls and erosion control carry the design — and the dry season decides irrigation needs.

• The whole year's rain arrives in a few months, so drainage, falls and erosion control carry the design — and the dry season decides irrigation needs.
• Municipal water supply is inconsistent in many suburbs, which makes borehole and tank-fed irrigation, and water-wise planting, the practical default.
• Northern suburb properties are typically large with mature msasa and jacaranda canopy, giving deep shade where LM lawn or artificial turf outperforms Kikuyu.
• Red clay soils hold water in the wet season and set hard in the dry, so soil amendment and bed drainage are specified rather than assumed.

Decorative & Polished Concrete suits the property types we see most often around Harare and the surrounding Harare Metropolitan area.

• Large northern-suburb homes with mature gardens
• Embassy, NGO and corporate premises
• Cluster and townhouse developments
• Warehousing and light industrial premises
• Open-plan homes and lofts
• Retail, gallery and showroom interiors
• Warehouses wanting a durable low-maintenance floor
• Patios, pool surrounds and driveways in exposed aggregate

Preparation decides how long the finish lasts, so it is specified in writing rather than assumed on site: levels, drainage, sub-base or substrate, and edge or perimeter detailing.

• Mechanically polished and densified concrete
• Grind-and-seal finishes
• Stamped and patterned concrete
• Exposed aggregate exterior surfaces

• No coating layer to delaminate
• Very long service life with simple cleaning
• Excellent light reflectance

Programme and price both depend on the site rather than a rate card: access for materials and machinery, the amount of levelling or demolition needed, drainage work, the area covered, and the material specification you choose.

We quote line by line after measuring the site in Harare, so you can compare our scope against any other quotation honestly. We do not publish per-square-metre prices, because a quoted rate without a specification tells you nothing.

You receive a written care schedule at handover covering cleaning, seasonal checks and anything that needs attention in the first months. Optional maintenance visits are available where a property needs a consistent standard year-round.

1. 01

   Consultation & site visit

   We walk the site with you, take measurements, note levels, drainage, sun and access, and understand how you want to use the space.

2. 02

   Design & specification

   We produce a layout, material palette and written specification so you can see exactly what is being built before anything is ordered.

3. 03

   Transparent quotation

   A line-item quotation priced against the specification — materials, preparation, labour and timelines, with no hidden allowances.

4. 04

   Site preparation

   Clearing, levelling, excavation, sub-base, drainage and edge restraints. Preparation is where a landscape or floor is won or lost.

5. 05

   Installation & build

   Our own crews install to the agreed specification with staged quality checks and daily site tidy-ups.

6. 06

   Handover & aftercare

   Final walk-through, snag list, and a written care schedule so the finish performs for years, plus optional maintenance visits.
