We have now had our driveway and fences installed and they came up up great.
Driveway
The boys from 'AllFX Concreting' did the driveway. First up, they got the Dingo in and dug out the area and laid the formwork and some crushed rock as a base with some reinforcing mesh.
Then came the concrete pour.
After the concrete is laid and smoothed over, they spray the surface with a retardant which prevents the top surface from hardening.
Once dry, they bring out the concrete saw and make the required cuts in the concrete.They then pressure wash the top layer off with a gerni.
Once the top layer has been cleaned off and the aggregate exposed and allowed to dry, they apply 2 coats of sealer. These take a few days to fully cure.
The end result is a nice shiny pebble mix effect.
"Late edit".....
Here is a clear shot of the entire driveway completed.
Fence
Our Fence has also been installed.
The fence is colourbond steel in the 'Merino' colour purchased from Stratco.
To all our friends and fellow bloggers - Merry Christmas, and here's wishing you all a safe and happy 2009!
