Still Landscaping
We truely didnt realise how long it takes to do all the landscaping, very hard work but also very gratifying, we finished down our off side last weekend, we will start the front retaining wall this weekend, i actually bought our first plants yersterday,, hope they live with all the wind we,ve had, the concrete diveway was partially pulled up and will b re poured this week sometime, thats why the frontwall is only being done now, they will also have to come back and colour tint it,alot darker,,they couldnt have got it so wrong if they tried to ,,,not happy,here r todays pics

Great work Ann, looks lovely. We are planning to go with pavers with pebbles on side of the house, 400X400 pavers with white pebbles. I may go with same like yours. I want to know, did you use concrete for under pavers or just a roadbase? Yours looks almost completed, mine still a lot of works to do.
ReplyDeleteThanx,,,ours are 450x450 and limestone pebbles,when they get wet they will b a little greyer,road base and 10 ml, gravel,,,we got all our retaining blocks and pavers from hunter stone at heatherbrea, alot cheaper then any where else,,pictures are decieving, we still have front and 1/2 of one side still to retain, then build the pagola out the rear,,getting there slowly i suppose,,,,,oh the pebbles are limestone.
ReplyDeleteLimestone pebbles looks really nice, I may required may be 30 pavers plus pebbles. If you don't mind how much cost for paver each and pebbles. I won't need now, may be later. I looked in lee rovans warnersbay. I will go and look that place you said when I have a time.
ReplyDeleteThe pavers were $6 each or just under and the limestone was from paynes at wallsend, it was $245 per cubic mtre, which is roughly 3 scoops of a front end loader,,hunter stone have a web site, it has prices on it,,,,,our pavers were seconds, but u cant tell the difference. Looking forward to getting some grass, the dog is also lol
ReplyDeleteYes I looked in that web, lots and lots of pavers, may I know name of yours? I will have a look at now

ReplyDeleteahh, im not looking forward to doing the retaining wall! At least you are nearly there!
ReplyDeleteI swear those bricks are getting heavier,,,if possible,,, starting the front this weekend,then we only have a bit down the side of the driveway,,,all fences done,the gates are being put on this weekend as well, then starts the painting,,,we have an old spray gun, hoping it will do the job,,,u guys just about packed now? very exciting putting all ur stuff in all that space,,if ur anything like me, half my cupboards in the kitchen r still empty, the store room and walk in pantry hold so much stuff,,,,it will feel like home once ur floors go down, enjoy
ReplyDeleteHi ann, Do you know how much cost for exposed aggregate driveway cost/m2 ? yours coloured or aggregate?
ReplyDeleteHi, mine is coloured, the wrong colour at that,,exposed is alot more expensive i think
ReplyDeleteOhh i see, will findout
ReplyDeleteWhat colour you picked and what colour they laid?
I picked the same as our gutters and roof, ironstone,,it dried to a really light grey,,looks terrible,,this guy keeps saying to us when he will come back, but he just doesnt show, and what makes it worse he doesnt answer his mobile,,,frustrating
ReplyDeleteThat's no good, then what you going to do? is your driveway sealed? yours issue makes me scary, Iam thinking now to go with aggregate. dont know how much cost, if its only 1000$ more than coloured quote, i may go with aggregate driveway..
ReplyDeleteNa, im just one of the unlucky ones, he was one of the bodgey ones,,he didnt put enough oxide into the mix,,thats why its so light,,he has come back and cut away 1/2 the driveway and formed up for the new pour,,,that was a week and a half ago, ,so we cant use the garage,and we cant finish the front retaining wall,,,so painful
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it with regard to submitting this information thanks.
