Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 May 23, 2015 10:53 pm Liquid limestone paving was just done for my driveway and back yard. Honestly, I am not really happy with the work being done. I understand there would be slope to get rid of water and rain. However, slope is very obvious when I walk on it. Also, some area is uneven (surface is up and down). The trade man suggested it was because of the natural of limestone. Huh? really? But I saw liquid limestone in my friend's house which is sooo nice and flat. Then trade man said it was because of the sand. After cleaning, it would be fine. But honestly, I do not think so. I can feel the different when I walked on my garage concrete slab compare to walking on liquid limestone. If he insists, what can I do? The trade man actually promised 75mm thickness for pedestrian area and 100mm . I went and measured after they finished. The pedestrian area is around 60mm and the traffic area is around 80mm. I wonder how I should measure the thickness. Should I measure from the mesh?
