Re: Crossover and stromwater - building house in East cannin 3Jul 20, 2011 1:38 am You can definitely do this a lot cheaper than what the builder is charging you! For example, we are planning on ripping up our paved driveway as soon as handover is done and putting down washed ag concrete. So the crossover we are doing is going to be concrete. Our builder wants to change us just over $3K for the crossover, when we can get our entire 6m driveway and crossover done in washed ag for $5k..
