Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2770Feb 15, 2013 7:49 am Here is a photo of mine before - yours look much darker and done properly Welby or has yours faded now - Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Then I complained its the wrong color. Their response was the sealer should bring out the color. Guess what its just a stained sealer (they left the tin in the bin). I think they are trying to get away with painting my concrete.

Are you able to escalate to management? I don't know much about concreting so can't really help you. Perhaps that is how the colour is added to the driveway? We are having stenciled concrete but not at that stage yet.

Then you put a clear sealer over the top of it. Mine appears to have wrong color or no color put on top at first, now to get around it sealed with tinted sealer. I took the can of sealer from the bin so I have it if they ask about it but doubt that will mean much it was more so that I can check it out I've escalated to the management email see what happens.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2774Feb 15, 2013 9:44 am So Eden Brae had the concrete contractor call me to tell me that the way my driveway has been done is the best you can get. Painted sealer is much better than having the color spread through whilst concrete is wet I am still under the impression that, that is a crock and has been done just to cover the tracks.

I have heard painted sealer fades very quickly. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2776Feb 15, 2013 12:54 pm Hi livewildcard, your house looks fantastic. Just wondering what colour your bricks are? While the topic of driveways are being discussed, I was wondering how many people have gotten their crossover done. I have been looking at properties in The Ponds, and it would appear that it is not generally done. We have opted to have it done, but don't want to look out of the place if we are the only house in the street that has done it. Any advice? Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2777Feb 15, 2013 2:28 pm Hi Livewildcard i'm not sure about the sealer but that was the day it had been poured and it has faded a bit the day after. Building the Lawson with Eden Brae in Cameron Park Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2778Feb 15, 2013 6:02 pm We are getting our crossover done... Not many in our estate have got it done either, but I don't like the 2 different colour/ types of driveways. We don't have to have concrete as our crossover and so therefore I asked for it to be the same.

I just looked at our tender and it's said "cross over in plain concrete" Also is it true EB don't do stencilcrete anymore? It's the option between pavers and colored concrete now. I asked our tender presenter and he said you can upgrade to stencilcrete at the HOG appointments.
