Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 20, 2015 4:32 pm Hello All, Its been a very long time since i have posted in here. We have been busy with finishing the house/landscaping. Here is a picture of our finished front yard. We absolutely love it and its a credit to the landscaper that did it. If anyone want their details please PM me and i will send to you. They worked so hard and within a weekend it was all done. What the did: Ripped up the old driveway Layed the new driveway (Exposed Agg. ) Put in the stones Put in the Deck Put in the water feature we purchased and the surround for the bottom Put in the base for the Sync Turf and of course the sync turf itself. This is the rubble from the old driveway (you can see the reo at the bottom of the pieces, this is because they didnt lay the driveway properly) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the front all stripped out and ready for new yard Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our new yard!

Why didn't they fix it? Re: A year and a Half in 5Dec 20, 2015 9:09 pm That concrete is a classic case of the concreters not using bar chairs and simply relying on pulling the reo mesh up as they pour it. Bad concreting practice and you can see the result. Stewie Re: A year and a Half in 7Dec 23, 2015 9:15 am kyliebsmith Shame they stuffed up your drive way though. Why didn't they fix it? Would you want them back to fix it? I didn't. They would have been annoyed that they would have come back and if they can't do it right the first time, what makes you think they will do it right the second time. Nah, we tried to get them to admit they did wrong, but they wouldn't. Re: A year and a Half in 8Dec 23, 2015 9:16 am stAn3x6 Is that the Indiana No its the Atlantique... love the home.
