Landscaping in progress

I have been setting some time and doing some gardening work. I have so far planted 2 gardenia's and 3 lavender bushes and some 16 dwarf hedges.

Landscaping Day 3

Most of the landscaping is now done, as well as driveway and feature light wiring.

Once the driveway is done, then they will come back and finish off the rest and the lights.

Landscaping Day 2

By mid morning, most of the backyard is already laid with lawn. The front yard levelled, even ready for the driveway people!

It is all looking good. Glen, our landscaping guy, is doing over and above the job, with detail. Very happy. They only need to come back for half a day, once the driveway is done.

Landscaping Day 1

Here are some photos from today's landscaping work. A lot has been done in one day and the grass is already laid at the back of the house (too dark to take photos by end of today).

Driveway & Landscaping

Over the course of last week I had few driveway and landscaping people come in to measure and quote.

So far I had 1 quote for driveway and 1 for landscaping.

Driveway: coloured concrete $14,500 (Bark) or $15,500 (Colourbond Loft, to match).
Landscaping: $9500 with Sir Walter Buffalo (355sqm), 20 Tonne fill, retaining wall, paving, all machinery hire and man power.

New driveway kerb will move to the right. Half way from current path and extend another 1/2 size. The total width will be the length of the 2 middle fence sections.

More quotes should come in this week.
