Could anyone tell me how much it would cost to lay some concrete under clothes line 1.5.metres X 2.3 metres , would need boxed.

Why not just lay some paving stones?

0.35m3 of concrete mixed on site $300. Labour to excavate, remove and box 4hrs @ $80 = $320. Say $1000 by the time coffee breaks, trips to dump and other fiddly bits are done.

For once, I think trade4us2 might be on the money!

Or half rounds as a boundary, destroy the grass, and lay gravel or chip.

just lay pavers, dig out dirt, compact base, lay sand, level, dampen sand, lay pavers yourself. much cheaper.

Can someone tell me how long it takes for new concrete to go grey, at the moment it is very bright and glary, only laid a week ago, was going to have it tinted but worried it will look painted, any comments appreciated.

What Mpa is it?

All good, just going to let the concrete age gracefully

Add a bit of fruit juice, lol. My pristine bright new path under the peach tree has some nice dark sugar stains from windfalls.

Not all contractors are equal though, we got several quotes for a large concreting job - only one of the three gave us any confidence in his ability - he was not the cheapest, but sure are getting a quality job done.
