No. Concrete provides a sub-base without flexibility. This may result in the decomposed granite cracking due to expansion and contraction with changes in moisture content and temperature.

Yes, provided you have ample room to allow for the additional 3 inches that will be above the concrete. If this is going into a doorway, you may have a problem with clearance. Also, the concrete should be free of any major cracks. Remember, any movement in the concrete slabs that you are going over will show themselves in the surface of the paving stones.

Deco Granite is a graded minus 20mm decorative gravel, which can be stabilised and compacted as a hard wearing, decorative driveway or pathway. Deco granite comes in 3 colours, brown, pink and gold, and should be stabilised with cement at 5%, or 1 bag of off-white cement per tonne of Deco Granite for pedestrian use, or 10%, or 2 bags of cement per tonne for driveways. Alternatively Deco Granite can be stabilised with builders lime at 5%, instead of cement. See similar questions...

Paving can be installed over existing concrete or asphalt as long as it is in reasonably good shape. To ensure an adequate foundation for the brick, the existing concrete slab or asphalt should be inspected and repaired as necessary. Any cracks, chips, holes, dips or spalls should be repaired in order to achieve a flat surface. The brick can be installed either with or without mortar. If no mortar is used, a half-inch setting bed of coarse sand should be laid and compacted. See similar questions...

The reasons are many. First, a properly placed concrete driveway has a much longer life expectancy than an asphalt driveway. A concrete driveway is much cooler in the summer months. Residue from an asphalt driveway can potentially be tracked into your home. This problem does not occur with a concrete driveway. There are many architectural applications for concrete. This allows for different colors, textures, etc. See similar questions...

Oil and grease stains can be difficult to remove completely because they penetrate the concrete surface rapidly. If an oil spill occurs, stop it spreading by encircling with sand, dirt or sawdust. Soak up as much surface oil or grease as possible with an absorbent cloth or powder. Cover residue stain with a poultice made of 1 part lime to 2 parts mineral turpentine. Spread a 5mm layer of the paste over the stained area ensuring a margin of 50 to 100mm around edges. See similar questions...

Absolutely! 12"-18" of compacted base material is recommended for residential driveways. A standard 2-3/8 thick paver can be used for light vehicular (cars and pickup truck) applications. A Colonial random pattern is most popular in these situations. See similar questions...

If calculated on a square foot basis, our countertops can cost less, the same or more than granite, which is becoming more affordable and readily available to the masses. Just as paintings are not sold by the square foot, we tend to price our countertops per project, not by size, as not all square feet are created equal. More creative and technically complex projects require more complex forms and a more sophisticated mold making process. See similar questions...

Concrete is a commonly requested material. To be honest, we don't know much about gluing to concrete. You could check with some building sites. Cement is the adhesive that holds concrete together. It will take some research on our part but we are thinking about doing concrete. A very cool and specialized glue! It does its job then you can roll it into ball and ... well, have a ball with it. The glue that is used for "tip ins" (magazine jargon) is referred to as a Peel and Stick glue. See similar questions...

If you intend the pathway for pedestrian use only then a 10mm, 14mm or 20mm "single sized" gravel is the usual preference for aesthetic reasons. However, if for example a wheelbarrow is to use the route, then a single sized material is too easily displaced under the load of the wheel and a 20mm "graded" product would be preferred. (A graded product has a wider range of particle sizes than a single sized product). See similar questions...

Most people tend to think more reinforcement is better than less. In fact, builders and other concrete contractors sometimes don't use any secondary reinforcement because it takes time and adds to the cost of construction. The reason for secondary reinforcement is to keep your slab from settling / twisting and to keep cracks tightly held together. However, the #1 guarantee is that concrete cracks no matter how its designed or installed - that's the nature of the beast. See similar questions...

When ordering concrete for outdoor applications (driveways, patios, etc.), always request air entrained concrete. An air entraining admixture can be added to the mix which produces microscopic interconnected voids. The voids permit the water in moist concrete to expand without damaging the integrity of the structure. See similar questions...

For a passenger vehicle driveway and footpath a Grade 20 (20 MPa) concrete is usually used. For a more heavy duty application eg truck driveway a Grade 25 (25 MPa) concrete should be used. The following indicates the quantity required of each material to make up to one cubic metre of Grade 20 or Grade 25 concrete. This is a guide only. Less water may be required due to inherent dampness of materials particularly sand. See similar questions...

No. You can incorporate all of these into your landscape, but we will not include these areas in determining your incentive. We will subtract these nonpermeable areas from those that meet our conditions when determining your incentive. However, if the patio or walkway is brick or flagstone with sand grouting (not concrete) allowing air and water to pass through, these could be included in your conversion area, assuming all other program conditions are met.
