Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Mar 18, 2010 1:56 pm Hi, Newbie here seeking the advice of all you experts. Well after finally having all the internals completed, it's time to focus on the outside. After surviving with a crushed rock & lilydale topping driveway for years, we've decided on going for an exposed aggregate concrete driveway. The area measures 60 sqm and I have a quote for the above including excavation (itemised as $1200 - very slight slope) drainage, tip costs etc totalling $8000.00 inc GST in TOTAL. How does this compare? We live 10km's from Melb CBD. Any comments/feedback most welcome!
