Thanks for all the feedback. I think I will get some quotes for both, but you are all right, it probably comes down to how good a job they do as to whether it cracks etc. Our neighbours have had their driveway done about a year ago in concrete and has some cracks etc already. I think quality is the key. I love the exposed agg too Phoenix, but I presuming it is more expensive than concrete and our driveway is about 40mtr long so may be out of our budget but you never know. The long windows next to the garage are actually a rumpus room. It is (or should I say was) the Marshall Baker Port Douglas but we added an extra room to the front. We have since rendered the front so looks a bit different now. Davinci, the Lumeah looks beautiful. I am sure a driveway out of this would be stunning, how does it compare price wise in comparison to concrete/exp agg per sq mtr. One day we hope to put a pool in the backyard and I think we would definately look at this for the pool surround. Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated. Leanne To my understanding early saw cuts are to control shrinkage cracks, so doing them now would be pointless. Control joints may reduce ugly cracking during periods of soil… 3 9829 Hi all I need a guidance on how far I need to space expansion joints in the concrete driveway and its type (keyway/foam.) Contraction joints are at 3m max for a 125 slab. Thanks 0 10921 |
