Beautify your property's paths before bad weather sets in

The summer seems to be well and truly over, with the cooler weather making its presence known. Before you know it winter will have arrived and cold snaps combined with downpours may begin to play havoc with any concrete pathways on your property.

Fixing small cracks, straightening crooked stretches and re-laying patches of paving may be a good idea to help you and your family avoid trips and slips in cold and wet weather, which can mean less visibility and more treacherous walking surfaces.

Many households do not have the money or storage space to buy their own concrete mixer, so the option of hiring equipment can be a great alternative.

Best of all, when you hire equipment, you can be sure of getting the most modern and up-to-date machinery, saving you from maintenance hassles.

If you decide to give your paths a complete overhaul and start from scratch, remember to follow all the necessary steps, such as excavation, measuring frames for formwork and levelling and smoothing the concrete.

Your paths will once again be great-looking, safe and will add a neat framing design to your yard.
