    Howdy do folks.

    Anyone know if there's a reputable supplier/installer of imprinted concrete around the place?

    Looking to get the back garden done in it, about 40 sq/meters if my measurements are correct, but having difficulty finding someone to do it.

    Cheers. :)

    Very hard to get the right type of concrete here for it I know Lafarge do a special mix in UK for it. After the low temperatures of 2010/11 this type of surface seems to have disappeared. There was a few companies doing it before 2010 but dont know of anyone doing it now.

    Genuine curiousity, what would the cold temperatures have to do with it? I figured concrete would be grand, regardless?

    The dye all came away from the the top of it in clumps approx 3-4mm in depth, it was as if it just burst off or exploded, pieces the size of your hand. We may never see temps like it again.
    I spoke with a company in the uk and the guy I spoke with said he wouldnt attempt to lay an imprinted driveway here as they wont supply the required concrete.. !!
