Hi,

I need to run some telecoms duct through my 4 to 5 inch concrete drive.

Any suggestions as to the best method to cut a 3 inch wide channel ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Thanks - possibly, but the channel needs to go around a corner (of my neighbours drive), so I would need 2 x channels at right angles to each other

partner k1250, saw two lines and then break out the concrete but you will notice the infill, it will stand out like a sore thumb.

If your keeping it tight to the house maybe one cut will do and break out.

Why not make a feature of it, repeat the cuts at spaced intervals down the drive, relaying with blocks or coloured concrete with ever look better.

You could even go nuts and frame the drive aswell if you got the space.
