Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Aug 26, 2019 3:03 pm Hi All, So rather than wasting a landscapers time by coming over to quote, I thought I'd turn to some keen forum readers to start getting ideas on my backyard. Not ready to get any work done just yet, but definitely planning on it. The young fella will need some flat ground to play on in the near future, and the yard as it is, just isn't friendly enough for him. The picture is a panoramic shot of our backyard. Runs from the deck, about 25m up to the back corner, with a 3m rise approximately. Nice triangle shape. I'd love to flatten the whole lot, but I'm guessing that'd be pretty costly with retaining and the like. Nonetheless, I'd love to see a figure to do the job. Also after any other ideas that may turn this backyard into something kiddo friendly. Its a little bit steeper than what it looks like in the photo. Cheers in advance for any replies.
