Need advice on the backyard plan above.
Should I excavate and cut all of the dirt to level with the house slab or semi-excavate as per photo above?
Both left and right will require a 1 meter high retaining walls so it looks like I need a DA. Which one is more cost effective?
If I go for full excavation, it might be:
- Too costly since my estimate is around 75 cubic meters of dirt to be removed
- More areas with high (> 600mm) retaining walls which will require engineer to certify
If I go for semi-excavation, then
- I have to build retaining walls within the backyard
- Can use some of the excavation dirt to fill the front yard
Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.
