Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 May 08, 2009 3:17 pm Hi All - I'm a newbie here, but need advice Any recommendations for getting an exposed aggregate driveway done, out near Nunawading? I know that Mentone PreMix is highly regarded on here, but that's far from me I also have a fair sized area out the back that I want either paved or concreted (& stamped to look like it's paved)- but I can't decide which would be better. What do you think is the best value? Thanks in advance. Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 2May 08, 2009 8:42 pm What about saw cut? I just got a quote from these guys and they seem to be very competitive for the east side of town. http://www.concreting.koncept.net.au/ They are in Clayton so Nunawading should be OK from them 2 do Cheers Cozmo ______________________________ Building a PD Heywood 29 http://fromevetoeternity.blogspot.com/ Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 3May 09, 2009 11:13 am Cozmo What about saw cut?

Thanks - will def give them a call! Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 4May 13, 2009 9:29 pm Mentone are on the other side of town, but their product is very good. It's much more consistant and they calculate the driving/unloading time and add the appropriate amount of admixtures to ensure the concrete is still very workable when onsite. You pay a bit more for it but the end product is excellent. Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 5May 19, 2009 10:00 pm Thanks for the advice guys.. I got 3 quotes during the week, and they all use mentone premix's products so all is well. Koncept were very professional, but Fine Art gave a much better price & seemed totally competent... so i'm torn. Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 8May 22, 2009 8:12 pm We have just done our driveway and used Koncept. They finished today so I will take some pics for you this weekend. We're very happy with the finished product and they were really professional. Our chippy told us it was a great job, he said he had seen some shockers so I was relieved about that. They also did our crossovers and reinstatement of the existing driveway. So I'll put some pictures up this weekend. Re: Aggregate Driveway recommendations - Nunawading, VIC 10May 24, 2009 8:23 am Hi I put these up in my thread as well but here's the finished product. The mix is from Mentone Pre Mix (they have such nice mixes) and it's the Buchan Mix with choc malt. DH originally wanted a darker colour but when he saw this in the showroom he liked it immediately as did I so that's always a good thing.

Must point out that i have only booked the job and not actually had it done yet. They have turned up on time to two appointments. One on a Sunday. Very Very good advice. Very confident for you to go and look at their work. Great people to deal with and they use the Mentone Pre mix product.
