Exposed Aggregate Driveway - Any recommendations?
Page 3 of 3
I think I'll definitely investigate the exp agg, have to weigh up the look I'm after with my budget!
Cheers

Just posting my request to an old thread-
Can some of you please give me your contacts for Driveway?
I need to get mine done, but have no idea as to what to look for.
From what I read, I think exposed aggregate should be good.
Pls post any contacts you might have
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I rang Mentone PreMix and they gave me details of concretors in the suburb where we are building - Epping, Melbourne.
I rang one of them and he gave us a good quote for Exposed aggregte - $90 per sq mt. So we are getting our driveway done end of March. Will post pics once they are done.

hi Archieein
i"m also building my house in epping ... so by now your driveway must be done . are you satisfied with the concretor... if yes plz give me detail of that guy... also post the pics...
I wouldn't mind betting it's Ronnie from RPC, he's one of the preferred concretors from Mentone, he is around the $90/mark plus excavation costs
Has anyone used or heard of Ronnie from RPC? Are you happy with the work, he has been recommended by Mentone Premix but i was wondering if anyone has personally used him. Any photos would be even better.
Thanks!

We are deciding whether to have it ground down. They apparently take the top of the stones and it removes the somethimes patchy look in a few little spots. We will also have it sealed after we decide whether we can afford to have it ground down.

We are in Sydney's South and very happy with the guy that did ours.
I am building in the Western Suburbs and require someone's details for my driveway. I like exposed agg and have a 50sqm area. Any recommendations of how much it would cost including excavation?
Thank you.
Also wondering, can you get the quotes arranged before handover, so that things can be done soon after?
I did my driveway a couple of weeks ago. I am so happy with the results. Well I took the following pictures with my phone so the quality is not the best. I am from Derrimut in Vic. I had a few quotes before selecting my concreter (referred to me by another experienced member here) and his price was really competitive since I did not want to sacrifice cost. If you are interested to get his details send me a pm.

I wish I had a better camera...lol
Can you please send me the details of the concretor that did your place please.
I have left messages already for 2 preferred guys via Mentone Premix but haven't heard back from them as yet.

THis is ours WET, the colour looks very different when dry (will post soon).

That is one funky driveway. Do you know what colour that is in the mix?

PM sent!
PM me too! Thanks to everyone for your comments.
Hi VJ, can you PM me too?
Stay tuned.
I am building at Truganina VIC (western Melbourne suburb), can you please also send PM me some good concreter who is good in doing exposed aggregate.
I can see some people in western Melbourne had some good experiences and share the same with other people like me,
Thanks for that,
Regards
Vijay
