When you decide that you are going to build a home, you realise very quickly that this is a major…read moreinvestment and that a lot of thought must go into each decision you make. So with that in mind, and budget, when we decided to build our new home we were given the choice of two companies by the builder to select our tiles and stone for the bathrooms etc. Lisa at Sareen Stone has not only been extremely patient but a weath of information and has steared us in the right direction with our selections and we could not have been happier. Lisa gave us samples of our selections which made it so much easier to co-ordinate the rest of the rooms...so good. ps: Hillsdale is just near the airport and very easy to find.

(Not quite the happy image I started with...hhhmmmm). After much stroking of chins and 'it'll cost ya' type conversations, finally we met Mike who gave a quote to remove our Liquidambar which was MUCH more competitive. He turned up on the day (though a little later than first suggested) and the team set to felling our massive tree. The stump required a return visit the next day but at no extra charge - so happy all round - apart from the tree. Got tree issues then they're the solution.

We have used Brook Concrete with Col, Troy and Mick on 4 other occasions two were just plain…read moreconcrete and 2 were stamped and coloured, all were well priced with perfect results. This time we had to replace a driveway so decided to make some changes to better fit our changed lifestyle - the old concrete had been here when we bought in 1979. Troy came and measured and we discussed the changes. I wanted a plain coloured slab but strong enough to survive large utes with their extra weight. He provided good advice which I accepted and the quote was in our letterbox the next day and I accepted it. They kept me well informed as I had commitments, as did they. They removed the old driveway in a morning with their BobCat and when they left the place was neat and tidy with the changed layout already dialled in via the screened base. I had to do some stormwater changes under the slab so they gave me a free day to do that. They then came the following day to complete the form work and the pour happened over 2 days because of the complications with the upper portion of the slab. The two pour days were cold, very windy days which made the finishing a lot harder then normal with leaves blowing over the fresh concrete while they were colouring it prior to final finish screed. The final sealing happened ~1 week later to allow the slab to cure before it was sealed to keep out stains and dirt. It was a great job, well executed and painless for us.

You know those home stores that you walk into and think 'I wish this was my home' or 'I want that,…read morethat, that, that, that and that'. I don't do that very often, mainly because I've had to cull my hording persona off in order to travel and move about a lot. But this place - Eco Outdoor - gets my into the 'I want' frame of mind again. I feel comfortable saying that too, I think it's because this place is of the eco conscious class. The people behind Eco Outdoor come from a landscape design and construction background. Quality, natural and simplicity are two word that come to mind when I see their stuff. Their focus is walling, flooring and furniture. The showrooms and website give you a good idea of what they have and what combinations go well together but unless you're a designer yourself I'd ask one of their store designers for advice.

At Eco Outdoor, not only do they purvey sustainable furniture, but also eco-friendly options for walling and flooring. When it comes to walling, this store has a remarkable selection of stone facades that are environmentally friendly and excellent at insulation. There are stone walls that recall the style of Provençal French, rural Spanish, and modern Australian architecture. The same goes for flooring, which can be constructed from a variety of beautiful stones and cotto tiles. Eco Outdoor sells everything you need for your patio. From chairs and tables to day beds and even beanbags, this furniture is unobtrusive and practical. I really love Eco Outdoor's main concept. They basically strive to make an authentic connection between man's construction and the natural raw materials found in the surrounding landscape. This organic style is essential to maintaining the integrity of the natural scene. As humans, we all live among nature and should always put some effort to minimize our footprint.
