Now to clean our sold house in preparation for settlement on Monday, 16 May. Construction : Waiting for update plans and quotes. Contract shouldn't be far away. Land: signed finance docs on Friday. To settle on 30 May. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 17May 08, 2016 7:31 am Our plan is to concrete slab 600mm from each house wall and timber look stencil-crete the slab. Rock around the edges with plants evenly spaced. Along the driveway will be a long hedge and plants within. A water feature is planned in the top corner with wide pavers from courtyard to alfresco. I have some photos on the computer, however, still waiting for phone/internet connection. The mud plan in my second post above gives a birds-eye view. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 18May 08, 2016 9:28 am Wow you are super organised with your landscape ideas and plans. Good on you. It will look fantastic. We only did grass in our courtyard because we dont have much backyard but u have plenty of room for grass. Wish we a tiny bit more backyad so we can turn our courtyard into a feature like yours. Will you use it as another entertainment area? I love the idea of a water feature...if i cant get my pool that may be my next option. Yours will look awesome. Cant wait to pave ours and we are going to put some sort of roof over the paved part. Will post pics when we have finished. Cant wait to see your update plans. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 19May 08, 2016 10:29 am I like how you kept yours grass with your kids... they'd use it all the time, being right there from the house. Gives you time to plan what you'd like to do down the track. Our block is big, we hope the kids look past the pool to use it. The long driveway will be handy for them too. With our block's aspect we thought the courtayd will be a nice place to relax as well as be a bit of a feature when looking/walking through the house. Hopefully it all comes to plan but a long way to go yet. Re: GJ Gardner - Mandalay 298 - QLD 20May 08, 2016 2:47 pm It will be perfect im sure. This 1st part was the worst with our build because it took so long. But once you get past admin and planning it flies. And never thought i would say it but the finished product is worth all the painstaking planning and waiting. Im sure yours will be worth it too. May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner?
