Hi Drew are you able to share your concreting/driveway people ? Has anyone heard of modular fences? Can anyone recommend fence companies ....need some contacts please.
I completely missed this one sorry ....
We are going with an asphalt driveway, with or without brick edging (we're not sure yet - depends if we can find a solid brick we like or not). We're going with asphalt because it's significantly more cost effective than concrete or exposed ag, and doesn't have the maintenance requirements. To maintain asphalt, you hose it down and sweep it, and it's done. Concrete needs chemical cleaning and resealing on a regular basis or it loses its' surface, and exposed ag you have to seal to keep gluing the ag back down - never again!
The driveway company I've been most impressed with is ABC Driveways (https://www.facebook.com/abcdriveways/ or https://abc-driveways-pty-ltd.business.site/). Gavin did about a massive area for my parents at their B&B, and gave us so many ideas, and suggestions that the others we didn't get quotes from didn't even discuss with us. He also pointed out plumbing issues we need Metricon to fix if we ever want to use the side of our house to drive a car down, otherwise we'll break all the downpipe plumbing to the storm drains. The plumber installed them LITERALLY just under the surface of the dirt, whereas they need 4" of road base on them to put an asphalt driveway over.
