Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jan 28, 2011 10:48 am HI All, After some info If you have been given a landscaping package from your estate, did you upgrade anything and what were you charged? With ours, found out that if we want Sir Walter Turf it will be an extra $7.7per m2. Is this reasonable? Thanks!! ---- Building in Banksia Grove We have keys - 31st March 2011 Re: Upgrading Landscaping Package 2Jan 28, 2011 10:53 am Holy cow that is crazy! You can buy the turf for less than that! I asked to upgrade some trees to different varieties and the cost they wanted to charge me was outrageous. I ended up taking what they offered - kept the pot. Once the landscapers had left - I pulled the plants out of the ground - sold them on Gumtree and then used those proceeds plus some of my own money to buy what we really wanted After 4 years - we're in!

Feature rocks were in the $30-$40 bracket. Re: Upgrading Landscaping Package 4Jan 28, 2011 11:53 am stonecutter1309 Holy cow that is crazy! You can buy the turf for less than that!

Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought. It pays to show your State in your avatar.
