Do you want a new driveway? because that's not going to happen. You could negotiate some funds retuned from the work he did for stuffing up the aesthetics of your driveway at best. But the reality is as the driveway is used and wear occurs, this will blend in and likely become indistinguishable. Before you know it, you will have pebbles coming lose, cracks appearing and you're not going to give two $hits. Or you will, and it will bother you for the next 30 years. I haven't completed the query yet as per the second post. But if your overall attitude is that I will have to accept this, you may as well respectfully just steer clear of this thread.

Ah one of those people. What do you expect from the tradie? You haven't answered this. I've given you a realistic assessment of what's going to happen.

Re: Angle Grinder Spatter/Burn in Aggregate Driveway 6Apr 12, 2022 6:27 pm I'm actually crafting the rest of the query as we speak, and as you'll see, I'm not expecting anything of the tradie yet. The advice of acceptance that you have given me, could be aimed from me to you in regards to this forum thread. If you believe that I am unduly suffering, then don't utilise your resources to provide advice to someone who is not obviously willing to accept it. If I'm in a hole and not willing to climb out, why come down here with me? Noname But the reality is as the driveway is used and wear occurs, this will blend in and likely become indistinguishable.

Re: Angle Grinder Spatter/Burn in Aggregate Driveway 7Apr 12, 2022 6:40 pm Get off the pipe buddy. It's barely visible and the longer you leave it the less visible it will be. You want to thow money at it while sticking your head in the sand? Go right ahead. You'll be poorer and still anoyed it's there. Let alone potentially making it worse.

Re: Angle Grinder Spatter/Burn in Aggregate Driveway 8Apr 12, 2022 7:06 pm I think just accept it, it is pretty acceptable to do this on a driveway as a workspace. i’ve never covered concrete to protect it personally as it is meant to take west and tear. It will wear off. I remember dad lost it when a tiler threw out the waste water onto his beautiful lawn. What is important to us as a consumer is not always obvious to a tradie who is focused on his/her job, not the whole project.

Worst case you could sand blast the area. It's a simple attachment that fits on a pressure washer. Thanks Chippy, do you have any ideas if this would overexpose my aggregate with the sandblasting? Or if the sandblasting would chip at the stones themselves? I am not a brick expert, but rendering would be 1 option, it would be costly to do the entire house though.... 2 6674 Last year I had a gas leak at my house. 3 days later, I have about 1 sqm of my exposed aggregate paving broken up. I am not sure how to go about getting it repaired… 0 10404 |
