Our team are great at just doing everything. Steve wanted the old concrete gone, his fence straightened up and new sliding gate. No problem, we can do it all with just our regular team.


This was an odd initial request. The client had old stamped concrete that had cracked and he wanted to replace it with new concrete and by the way the vehicle access was not in alignment with the driveway! Our solution was to change the fence line to suit the vehicle access and concrete lay so it would match the new wider gate opening. Take a look at our pictures and see what you think.


#1 Finished driveway with 4m wide sliding gate

The wider gate makes access so much easier. Especially when reversing the motorhome or trailer back in.


#2 We prepared the area using our digger



Our digger made quick work of preparing the area. We took away the old concrete and hedges before bringing in crushed concrete to make a firm base.


#3 Compacting base layer and setting steel mesh




Once the base was prepared we finished setting out the boxing (wooden edge). Next the sheets of seismic mesh were brought in and set on bar chairs ready for concrete laying.


#4 Big day - Concrete laying begins in earnest.


We try to get the concrete truck to arrive around 7:30 or 8am so we have plenty of time to place the concrete before the day really heats up. This was a lovely day with a clear blue sky.


#5 Competed job
