Re: Protecting your Slab 497Mar 05, 2019 10:40 am My house is nearing completion and I am arranging concreting and drainage all the the way around the perimeter. The area below in red will be concreted and drained. Ideally I would like to have lawn right up to the alfresco with subsurface drainage, without a concrete apron around the alfresco as well . Is this a bad idea or should I just concrete the green area (1m wide) as well??

Hmmm Thanks for the insights, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, I will be leaning on the experience of the excavator operator entirely. 6 16147 4 6201 The concreter will take and reuse. In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 5159 |
