Designer Concrete Stairs, Furniture & Outdoor Concrete in Auckland
Premium designer concrete stairs, custom outdoor furniture and architectural features — handcrafted for Auckland homes and built to last a lifetime.
Auckland’s Specialists in Outdoor Concrete Furniture & Architectural Concrete
Cornerstone Living designs and builds bespoke concrete furniture, designer concrete stairs and landscape concrete features that turn ordinary backyards into premium outdoor living spaces.
Concrete has moved well beyond driveways and slabs. Today it is one of the most desirable materials in landscape design — sculptural, hard-wearing and completely custom. As an experienced concrete designer in Auckland and trusted concrete layers, we craft designer concrete stairs, outdoor seating, benches, planter boxes, outdoor kitchens and architectural concrete features that are engineered for New Zealand’s climate and finished to a standard you can feel underfoot.
Every piece is poured, cured and finished by licensed tradespeople with decades of combined experience across residential and commercial projects. The result is decorative concrete that looks designer, performs like infrastructure, and lasts for generations.
✓ Built to Outlast Timber
Concrete furniture won’t rot, warp, splinter or blow away. It shrugs off Auckland sun, rain and salt air — season after season.
✓ Fully Custom Design
Shape, size, colour and finish are tailored to your space. No two Cornerstone Living pieces are ever the same.
✓ Low Maintenance
A quick wash and the occasional seal is all it takes. Spend weekends enjoying your space, not maintaining it.
✓ Sculptural & Modern
Clean lines, honest materials and a premium finish that lifts the whole landscape and adds real property value.
✓ Heavy & Secure
Solid mass means seating and tables stay exactly where you place them — ideal for exposed, coastal Auckland sites.
✓ Endless Finishes
Polished, honed, exposed aggregate, coloured or board-formed — matched to your home and hardscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Auckland homeowners want to know about custom concrete furniture.
How much does outdoor concrete furniture cost?
Outdoor concrete furniture in Auckland typically starts around $900 for a small bench and $2,500 for custom seating. Larger dining settings begin near $5,500, while outdoor kitchens and architectural features are custom quoted. Final price depends on size, finish, reinforcement and site access — every piece is quoted individually after a free site visit.
How long does concrete furniture last?
Properly built and sealed concrete furniture can last several decades — often a lifetime. Unlike timber, it won’t rot, warp or degrade in UV, and it stands up to Auckland’s coastal weather with only minimal maintenance.
Can concrete furniture crack?
Fine hairline surface lines are a natural characteristic of concrete and part of its charm. Structural cracking is avoided through correct mix design, steel or fibre reinforcement, proper curing and sealing — all standard practice on every Cornerstone Living build.
Are concrete stairs slippery?
No — not when finished correctly. We apply slip-resistant textures, broom or honed finishes and anti-slip sealers so concrete stairs and garden steps stay safe in the wet, which matters in Auckland’s climate.
Can you customise outdoor concrete furniture?
Yes. Every piece is fully custom. You choose the shape, size, colour, texture and finish, and we design it to suit your space, existing paving and the way you use your outdoor area.
How long does installation take?
Most concrete furniture projects take one to three weeks from pour to install, allowing time for proper curing. Larger outdoor kitchens or architectural features take longer. We give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Do you service all of Auckland?
Yes. Cornerstone Living services the North Shore, West, East, Central and South Auckland, plus surrounding suburbs. If you’re in the wider Auckland region, we can help.
Is concrete better than timber outdoors?
For permanent outdoor furniture, concrete generally outperforms timber. It won’t rot, splinter or need regular re-staining, it’s far heavier and more stable, and it delivers a modern, sculptural look while lasting far longer.
What maintenance is required?
Very little. Wash occasionally with mild soapy water and re-seal every couple of years depending on exposure. Sealing keeps colours rich and protects the surface from stains and the elements.
Can concrete furniture be coloured?
Absolutely. Concrete can be integrally coloured, stained or finished with exposed aggregate to match your home and landscape. From soft natural greys to warm earth tones and charcoal, the palette is broad.
Can concrete furniture be moved later?
Freestanding pieces like benches and tables can be relocated, though their weight means it’s a job for a few people or equipment. Built-in seating, stairs and features are designed as permanent fixtures.
Is concrete furniture comfortable to sit on?
Yes — we design seating with the right height, depth and back angle, and it’s made to pair with outdoor cushions. The result is comfortable, inviting seating that also happens to be nearly indestructible.
Do you offer free quotes and consultations?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation on-site consultations and itemised quotes across Auckland. Contact us to book a time that suits you.
