Real-Crete’s® history is prolific, traced back to a borrowed shed on the outskirts of Ballarat, Victoria in mid 2004. We had just returned from an extensive Australian trip, where among other things, noted a distinct shortage of quality timber.
It was after renovating an older style home in Northern Victoria and then moving to Ballarat that we truly saw the extent of the timber crisis. Timber, ravaged by termites! What’s more, timber for retaining and landscaping would warp, split and rot in no time. The most alarming aspect was the lack of replacement timber.
That’s when we found the idea for a substitute. All the benefits of timber, including its fabulous look, yet something enduring – concrete! Starting with concrete gardening sleepers and concrete post and rail fences, we began designing and manufacturing products of the future.
