Driveway crosovers - suggestions/hook ups?

[thrtytwo]

Anyone got a mate (with a legit business) or had a good experience with a decently priced company?

SOR, Canning Vale, Harrisdale area

Are you building?

I got the guy who was doing my paving to do it. He used pavers that were meant for alfresco no extra charge. I'm putting down decking there instead. Win win

I had to pay someone to remove excess dirt and put down crushed limestone which cost me $250. Make sure you get receipt as council requires this before giving you back your crossover rebate.

[thrtytwo]

yeh building. thanks for the idea, sounds like a good one!

I did this also, just order enough pavers from the same batch as the ones for your driveway so the colours match and ask the guys that are doing the driveway to do a cashie.

Ps dont fail like me and get cream ones, the tyre marks are fucking annoying.

[Wrexter]

Lol I got limestone pavers too.

Will be sealing them soon!

Relevant to my interest and also in the same area. I was a bit lazy and forgot to call my building company to get the driveway guy to do it. I should have a number for someone in the next few days and will post it here.

cheers, my building company wants $3258 to do the crossover, they can get fucked.

Problem is they want me to tell them who is doing my crossover (council requires it apparently) before they can get building permission or some shit

[Wrexter]

You don't need council permission to build crossover. As long as it meets requirements to their crossover standards. Should be up on the councils website.

[thrtytwo]

nah I don't need their permission to do the crossover. But apparently they want to know who is going to be doing it at the same time as they approve the rest of the house

[mischief1]

3k fark that! I'm still waiting on the contact, but apparently it only cost my missus work colleague a few hundred bucks, this is in Piara Waters, so I don't think there'd be much change in the rules or price?

[thrtytwo]

Yeh I think to do it they wanted to upgrade the whole driveway to thicker pavers

[mr_mike]

i ended up getting my crossover done about 2mths after we moved into my place in Harrisdale, cash was scarce at the time so we just got it done in concrete despite the fact the rest was done in pavers. Cost us $800 we found paving averages about $50 per square meter, we have a pretty large crossover so that plus costs of pavers, clearing, leveling and surface prep for vehicles was gonna be around $1500. Even doing it myself would of been over $1000

[mr_mike]

just to ad, even tho the pavers all the way looks better and more uniform the concrete is alot stronger. This area is all built on old swamp and sand and the other paving on my driveway has moved a little bit specially with a large 4wd goin on it daily.
We plan eventually to get the concrete section painted and stenciled so it looks similar to the paved section.

[2jzlux]

Just tell your builder you want to do the same as Mr Mike and dont want to put in a crossover yet.
Cut out the middle man and get the brickpaver that does it to do a cashie, mine cost an extra 700 in pavers and 500 to lay.

Did you want to do;

Pavers ( HAS to be 60mm w/- Limestone Refsual)

Poured Aggregate... ect?

The pavers out the front should be 60mm Handipave as standard, if you wanted bigger ones BoralBricks does the Stylestone Range and they are 300x300x60mm many types available. They are on the website.

called the Armadale council today and clarified that I don't have to tell them who is actually doing it in advance. Just whether or not the builder is doing it.

So on the form I have to send them, I just tick the "other than builder" box and write "to be advised"

Gives me much more time to look around :D

cheers for all the suggestions!

this.....council doesn't care who does it, just what it is going to look like

[2jzlux]

Also keep your receipts as you can claim a rebate back from the council as long as it meets their regulations, i got about 300 back.

[mischief1]

so does anyone think the crushed limestone in necessary, i know it's a shire requirement.

the dude I'm thinking of getting to do the crossover doesn't think it is, and he can write up a receipt to say its been done though, haha. But he quoted me $650 cash.
