When asked ‘How did the costs and benefits come in when compared to other options?’
“…I did a lot of research before I chose Australian Concrete Mats. I wanted something that would be a permanent, near zero maintenance solution. Concrete mats were a third the cost of an all-concrete driveway and poured concrete introduced its own distinct limitations and expensive maintenance requirements. Bitumen wasn’t a contender due to high maintenance, slope and soil conditions here. Flexible concrete mats were perfect. In what has proven to be a very heavy rainfall 6 months, no maintenance has been necessary. Tim did an awesome job of earthmoving works and installation.”
