Hope you get handover really soon so you can move into that beautiful house of yours!! Thanks n&n! The grass makes such a big difference WOW!! HTB is abit jealous... Re: n&n02 - Some new pics - facade and gardens 496Nov 08, 2010 10:21 am Bagheera n&n02 - it looks beautiful - congratulations BTW what's the gradient of your driveway? I'm having a similar scenario - mine is 5:1 - meaning 1 meter high in 5 meter long from the footpath. How do you find it getting in and out - any problems? Ta Thanks DH believes the driveway is 5:1. We have experienced no problems at all getting in and out of our driveway. We made ours extra wide too so we can fit two cars on there Re: n&n02 - Some new pics - facade and gardens 497Nov 08, 2010 10:30 am Deemaree Looks great- you must be pleased! Thanks dee - we are very pleased with the result!! mpcj just gorgeous.... So happy that you are in and that you are happy! It's brilliant to see it all coming together. Thanks. We didn't realise how much there would be to do after we moved in . It's all getting done though - slowly but surely - and we have definetely mastered the art of patience - lol! flagstaffIV The grass makes such a big difference WOW!! HTB is abit jealous... Thanks flaggy . We can't take any credit apart from giving them ideas of the plants we wanted. We got all our front landscaping done through our developer, it was part of a package deal they have for people when you purchase your block of land. We got front landscaping, all side and rear fences and cash rebate if you comply with all covenant approvals and build within 12 months of settlement of the land. They did a wonderful job for us!! Re: n&n02 - Some new pics - facade and gardens 498Nov 08, 2010 10:32 am Thanks n&n02 I’m so glad to hear that 5:1 doesn’t present a problem for you... it does put my mind at ease... although I didn’t ask what type of cars you have . Our driveway is exposed agg as well and slightly over 5m wide but the footpath is sloping further across the 5 m driveway width so we asked our SS to discuss with the Shire and see what we can do to slightly re-align the footpath so the drop is gentler. BTW I love your white agapanthus as well and the fact that you kept the planting scheme all the same – it makes the garden much nicer.

Good luck with it all. As I mentioned DH thinks we have 5:1 and we have no problem whatsoever with ours. Not sure where I can confirm the 5:1 though. I checked our invoice from the concretor and all it says is “91 sqm of exposed aggregate concrete poured to driveway and side path with F72 steel reinforcing throughout”. So this isn’t of much help to you either. Re: n&n02 - Some new pics - facade and gardens 500Nov 08, 2010 3:33 pm Thanks n&n02 - the gradient is not stated anyway unless you ask for. We did ask as our building inspector made a note in the inspection report and based on his measurements he noted that it might be slightly greater then 1:5 so I asked the builder to confirm that the transitions/gradient can be done so we don't end up scrapping the driveway/cars.
