Any recommendations on what I could try. Regards Praridhi Hi Praridhi, sorry to hear about the poor concreting. I would suggest you get intouch with one of the concreters our members have recommended in the posts above. Let em take a look and offer some possible solutions.

Re: Conreters driveway wanted in Melbourne West - Caroline Sprin 16Jan 22, 2010 11:26 am Hi Guys, Sorry for the delay, building issues (Carlisle Homes) have been eating me over the past week or two. I will PM all of you the details of the concreter tonight or tomorrow. Regarding the plastic, the concreter said when the concrete dries, it needs heaps of water and he didn't use plastic to allow the concrete to absorb water from the soil (he watered before pouring). I am happy with the job the concreter did, he is a Western Suburb bloke. Re: Conreters driveway wanted in Melbourne West - Caroline Sprin 17Jan 22, 2010 12:48 pm Thanks Dtrance, We too are building with Carlisle, and so far can't be happy enough with everything they have done to date. Pity to hear they are causing you some grief. Re: Conreters driveway wanted in Melbourne West - Caroline Sprin 18Jan 22, 2010 11:20 pm Hi all, PMs sent as requested. The concreter uses Hanson mix, see Hanson's website for available colours and mixes. I chose the "Bachus Marsh" mix for my agg. http://www.hansoncm.biz/resources/downloadCentre.shtml (http://www.hansoncm.biz/pdfs/Imagecrete ... %20VIC.pdf) http://www.hansoncm.biz/products/decorative.shtml Re: Conreters driveway wanted in Melbourne West - Caroline Sprin 19Feb 10, 2010 10:25 am dtrance Hi Guys, Sorry for the delay, building issues (Carlisle Homes) have been eating me over the past week or two.
