Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Mar 08, 2015 7:04 pm Hello! I'm interested in getting floating concrete steps constructed for our front entry. I've spent some time going through websites of concreting and landscaping companies based in Melbourne, hoping to find these type of steps in their galleries and photos section but no luck. However, if there are no such pictures in their galleries/recent works that doesn't necessarily mean they're unable to construct them I guess. These are a few links of the steps I am talking about: http://midcenturymodernfreak.tumblr.com ... ach-ca-via http://gardendesigncourses.blogspot.com ... chive.html http://visualle.tumblr.com/post/8089662878 Is anybody able to point me in the right direction? Do you have these kind of steps and if so, do you have a company you are able to recommend? Are you a company that constructs them? Thanks in advance.
