ryan2307 18 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 have in the back of your mind that if you ever have problems e.g...water service..gas..drainage tarmac and impressed concrete can't be properly reinstated to the original what has been put down so if anything does go wrong and have to have it dug up.. going have a odd patch... my advice would be lay some ducts first underground... atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's been put on hold till April haymin. Looking into that printed concrete stuff. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alsone 789 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 My neighbour had printed concrete - been an absolute nightmare in winter. Probably OK if you have a flat drive, but if you have a slope you may be in trouble. They cover it with some kind of waterproof resin and it makes it quite slippery when wet and like glass if it's even the remotest bit icy. My neighbour had the coating removed off hers due to these issues, and even then, she had to have a hand rail put in to get down the drive in winter. When it's icy it's like a normal drive +10. Prior to that when it was slabbed / ordinary concrete, she had no issues with it being excessively slippery in nearly 40 years of living there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
