I like plain but that may just be because it's all I've ever seen lol


Mona, usually the driveway crossing is plain (council requirement) but you can do yr own driveway style (different colour, surface texture,etc). However if the council need to repair or fix your driveway cruising then they will dig up yr driveway and install pls in concrete after they are finished. The risk is up to you to take.

I prefer plain for crossover. To match footpath.

Thanks Orph
this is very helpful


Better to keep plain esp in scenario you mention, and also if someone damages it.
Definitely need to check your council rules before choosing anything but plain because if you don't follow their rules you will need to rip it up and do it again.

Agreed with that.

It was poured in today. I wonder if driveway and side paths are next.

Did i tell you. ..... I'm over it and want them gone!


Will be so nice to have a real driveway
can't wait to see pics! How much longer do they expect it to take?

OMG! I feel the same way about all tradies at the moment! I want to vomit thinking about them, and I'm nowhere near your end of the build!

It's so difficult dealing with trades i find. No offense...but we have struggled to form a good group of people we can rely on.

Jeez someone has done graffiti on our cross over. Do we call the police?????

Now this is the last thing we needed.




Take photos and give it to the police but wouldn't expect much, don't worry too much it can be fixed pretty easy looking at it.
It really sucks

Hi Nev have made police report


Hopefully it's a cheap and easy fix cos we are over having to deal with the landscaper charging on drop of a hat.
