Landlocked Property Solutions
Landlocked properties sit separated from street frontage by other homes, accessed only through narrow driveways or shared easements. These battleaxe blocks and properties behind existing structures present the ultimate concrete access challenge – your building site has no direct street connection, making standard concrete truck delivery impossible. Our pumping systems run hose lines from street positions through whatever access path exists, reaching building locations completely isolated from conventional delivery routes.
Hose distance for landlocked properties typically ranges from 50-150 meters, depending on block depth and access path configuration. We connect multiple hose sections to achieve required distances, navigating corners through side yards and extending across properties where truck positioning never existed. Pump pressure maintains concrete flow across these distances, delivering concrete with proper consistency for placement.
We’ve completed landlocked property projects throughout Ipswich where concrete delivery seemed impossible. Backyard studios, pool surrounds, extensions, and new builds on isolated sites all receive professional concrete placement through pumping solutions designed for properties that other contractors refuse.
Working with Ipswich Backyard Layouts
Ipswich properties reflect distinct characteristics that influence our backyard pumping approach. The sloping blocks throughout Springfield, Redbank Plains, and Bundamba create rear yards with significant level changes. Our operators adjust pump pressure for uphill or downhill pours, maintaining consistent concrete delivery regardless of gradient. Mature trees define older properties, particularly throughout Booval. We route hoses around these trees without disturbing root systems or low branches, protecting landscaping that’s developed over decades.
Traditional Queenslander homes create specific access patterns. High-set construction means underhouse areas and elevated living spaces. We pump under these homes to reach rear yards, working within clearance heights that characterise this building style. Colourbond and timber fencing surrounds most Ipswich backyards. Our hose travels over these fences without requiring panel removal, maintaining your property’s privacy throughout concrete placement.
How We Access Your Ipswich Rear Yard
Every Ipswich property presents different access scenarios. We assess your specific situation during quoting, identifying the pumping approach that works with your property layout while protecting existing structures and landscaping.
Our Access Methods:
- Side Passage Pumping – We feed the hose through your side gate and along the passage, keeping equipment on the street. Even narrow 900mm clearances work for our flexible line system.
- Over-Roof Solutions – When side access doesn’t exist, we pump over the house or garage. Protective sheeting goes on roof surfaces, preventing any damage to tiles or metal roofing.
- Through-Gate Access – Standard residential gates accommodate our hose diameter. We thread the line through gate openings, snaking around garden beds and established trees.
- Multi-Level Properties – Sloping blocks throughout Ipswich require adapted approaches. We pump uphill to elevated backyards or downhill to lower sections, maintaining concrete pressure regardless of elevation.
Backyard Projects We Service
Entertaining Patios Outdoor entertaining areas form the centrepiece of Queensland backyard living. We pump concrete for patios ranging from compact 20-square-meter spaces to expansive 80-square-meter outdoor rooms. The pumping process accommodates decorative concrete options – exposed aggregate, colored mixes, stamped finishes – delivering them to your rear yard without quality compromise.
Pool Surrounds Pool decking requires precise concrete placement around complex shapes and existing structures. Our hose flexibility allows operators to reach every section of pool surrounds, including tight spaces between the pool edge and boundary fences. We work with pool builders throughout the curing and finishing stages.
Granny Flat Slabs The granny flat boom across Ipswich creates demand for backyard slab work that meets current building standards. We pump concrete for these foundation slabs, coordinating with builders on reinforcement specifications and thickness requirements. The pumping method prevents damage to your main residence during the granny flat construction phase.
Outdoor Kitchens and BBQ Areas. Permanent outdoor cooking stations need solid concrete bases. We place concrete for kitchen bench supports, pizza oven foundations, and built-in BBQ areas. The pump reaches these features regardless of their location within your backyard layout.
Shed Bases and Workshop Floors Storage sheds and home workshops require level, durable concrete floors. We pump slabs for these structures, handling the reinforcement and thickness specifications that support equipment weight and daily use.
Garden Features: Retaining walls, garden bed edging, decorative pathways, and water feature bases all benefit from pumped concrete placement. The hose system reaches these scattered locations without creating multiple access points through your property.
Protecting Your Property During Pumping
Property protection ranks as high as concrete placement quality in our service approach. We implement specific measures that keep your Ipswich home and landscaping undamaged throughout the pumping process.
Protective matting goes down before any equipment or hose touches your lawn. We lay boards along the hose route, distributing weight and preventing ground compression or grass damage. Established garden beds get barriers protecting plants and soil from accidental contact with equipment or foot traffic.
Your existing driveways, pathways, and patio areas stay protected during setup and operation. We position equipment on streets where possible, keeping heavy machinery off your property surfaces. Fences, retaining walls, and building exteriors receive protection during hose positioning, with operators maintaining clearance from structures.
The site returns to its original condition after concrete placement. We remove protective matting, clean any minor concrete splatter, and ensure hose routes show no evidence of our presence.
Our Complete Backyard Pumping Service
Professional backyard concrete pumping combines equipment capability with operator expertise and coordination. We provide the complete service package that makes your rear yard concrete project run smoothly from assessment through final cleanup.
Site Assessment – We visit your property before the pour date, evaluating access options and identifying the pumping approach that suits your specific layout. This assessment covers equipment positioning on your street, hose route planning, and coordination requirements with your concreter. Equipment Positioning – Our concrete pump trucks position on streets adjacent to your property, eliminating the need for heavy equipment on your driveway or lawn. Professional Operators – Our pump operators bring years of experience with Ipswich backyard projects, monitoring concrete flow throughout the pour and adjusting pressure to match your concreter’s placement requirements.
Concreter Coordination – We work directly with your chosen concreter, timing our arrival to match their formwork completion. Site Cleanup – After concrete placement completes, we remove protective matting and conduct a final site check, leaving your property ready for the curing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we pump over houses, garages, and fences regularly. Our operators position protective sheeting on roof surfaces to prevent any damage. The flexible hose system travels over these obstacles without requiring access through your home or removing fence panels.
Our line pump systems reach 50 to 100 meters from the truck position. This distance covers virtually all Ipswich residential backyards, regardless of property depth. The pump maintains consistent concrete pressure and quality throughout the entire distance to your pour site.
No. We lay protective matting along the entire hose route before any equipment touches your lawn. Heavy-duty boards distribute weight across grass and garden areas. Equipment stays on the street, keeping machinery off your driveway and existing concrete surfaces throughout the pumping process.
Pumping costs more than wheelbarrow labour initially but saves money overall. The speed eliminates extended labour hours, reduces concrete waste from setting, and prevents property damage that wheelbarrows cause. Your concreter works more efficiently with continuous concrete flow, improving finished quality.
We pump backyard projects from small garden features requiring 1-2 cubic meters to large entertaining areas and granny flat slabs needing 15-20 cubic meters. Our equipment handles the full range of residential concrete volumes. Minimum charges apply for very small pours under 3 cubic meters.
