Metricon Vantage https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t We did the whole back except for garage side, its gravelled but our landscaper made sure it sloped away from the house. I don’t think they mind if you choose to gravel as long as it doesn’t affect slab. We chose to do concrete for a peace of mind We didn’t do our front because our land slopes anyway so we just did Tuscan topping Re: Metricon - Duxton 39 1711Oct 04, 2017 11:03 am Emmz70 emmyawards Hey Emmz did you get concrete all around the sides of the house?

We also have on our plans that we have some drainage pipes there so we are going to even add drainage into the paths hahaha! Over kill maybe but we want to have no issues!

The concreter’s utilised all our drainage areas. Great too see the water drain even better when it’s not flooding the neighbours Re: Metricon - Duxton 39 1713Oct 04, 2017 3:37 pm Emmz70 Very good.

Other 3 quotes wanted 9k but these guys only 6.5k, included excavation and drains Re: Metricon - Duxton 39 1715Oct 04, 2017 4:17 pm Emmz70 stayxtrue Emmz70 Very good.

Who did it for you so I have another one on my list Re: Metricon - Duxton 39 1716Oct 05, 2017 7:14 am Emmz this looks so good! Do you have a name for your concreter? I'm struggling to get quotes here, even from highly recommended concreters. I wish our garden was as flat as yours! What we're doing will be a similar size and style, just with loads more slope. Yours looks awesome. Question, can I ask how much the stone / pebbles cost? Please feel free to PM me. I'm going to need a similar quantity.
