Today when moving a panel of our framelss pool fencing to make room for another project it shattered in our hands. Both of us received cuts and scratches however we are lucky that is all it was.

Re: Buffalo lawn with other grass coming through.Landscape & Garden Design

Aug 22, 2018 5:16 pm

Personally I'd hand weed through winter. Herbicide treatment is possible with Buffalo but there isn't much of a big deal to pull out the offending weeds I've done that for the bits that are by themselves however the biggest bunches are very dense and very tough to remove. I probably left them for t...

Buffalo lawn with other grass coming through.Landscape & Garden Design

Aug 22, 2018 3:40 pm

Hi All, I have a Buffalo lawn which was laid 12 months ago which was going well however over winter when it has gone dormant another species of grass is now popping up. Anyone know the best way to maintain the buffalo grass and kill the other? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180822/14451c5464d752...

Hi measure, I'm sorry to pick you brain again. I would like to diy install a similar front decking as yours. I got this quote and plans from Outdure (modular systems) for $4400 only for materials (composite decking using a pedestal system). Do you reckon the quote is ok compared to your rough costs...

I would say that is about right. You are paying nearly $2k for the support system. That is alot more than I spent on mi...

Very nice work on the landscaping!! How did you ekodeck go over summer? Did it fade in areas where it gets sun on it even though you have a roof?] No issues at all. The front steps which have no shade at all look exactly the same. Seems like it is a very high quality product!

Mate, any advice on building the outdoor kitchen? Did you diy? Went through a group called Limetree Alfresco. We saw them at the pool and spa expo. Highly recommend them.

So I finally completed a projected I wanted to do for a long time. Building my own deck. Ever since we decided on a floor plan for our house and saw the alfresco I had decided that I wanted to give building a deck a go. The first decision was to work out what material I wanted to use. I settled on ...

Has anyone in Aurora been experience issues with their iinet Internet connection lately. I have noticed that, since last month our fibre speed has deteriorated significantly. Especially during the evenings, we are sometimes lucky to get 1mbps when we are paying for 25mpbs speed ? We had similar iss...

What colour aggregate is this? Not sure of the exact colour but it was the darkest, most black colour avaliable. It hasn't been sealed yet which will give it a darker shiny look.
