Tuesday Tip - Paving
Choosing the right base for paving depends largely on the area’s specific requirements. For high-movement areas such as pool surrounds, we recommend a reinforced concrete base for stability and a lasting finish. Outdoor spaces on stable natural ground, like pergolas or fire pit areas, benefit from a compacted base, using road base crusher dust or river sand. Our expert tips guide you through selecting the perfect paving base to enhance your outdoor living area.
Tuesday Tip Storm Drains
As storm forecasts predict heavy rain, it’s vital to ensure your garden’s drainage systems, including strip and box drains, are free from debris to prevent blockages. This proactive step protects your home from potential water damage and guarantees your outdoor activities, like weekend barbeques and family time, remain unaffected. Don’t let blocked drains disrupt your home’s safety and enjoyment—check your outdoor drainage today!

Discover how the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating affects your building and landscaping decisions, especially in bushfire-prone regions. The BAL rating assesses fire risk, dictating the use of specific materials to safeguard your home. Awareness of your property’s BAL rating is vital, as it directly influences design choices, material restrictions, and the overall cost of construction and landscaping projects. Stay informed about your BAL rating to make knowledgeable decisions for your home’s safety and compliance!
