This allows homeowners to create stylish paths while staying within budget.

Perth coastal suburbs such as Mindarie, Hillarys, Trigg and Scarborough require materials that withstand:

• Salt air
• Sand abrasion
• Strong UV exposure
• Seasonal moisture

Concrete pathways perform extremely well in these environments when professionally sealed.

Light-toned finishes are particularly popular because they stay cooler underfoot.
