The Landscapers are fine to deal with once you send in the forms and have a look through the plants they offer you it gives you a better idea of what you get. We chose to not upgrade any of our options as it defeated the purpose of free landscaping if we ended up paying extra for the more expesive and also much more common plants that were on the list. I may have gone a bit over board with the grass type plants but i prefer them and also love that they are low maintanence Goodluck with the rest of your build !!

Look like hard work. Lol 4 weeks till it's finish eh? It's certainly hard yakka. Especially in 41 degree heat. And bunnings forgot to deliver the pipes dispite us confirming that morning so that caused about 3 hr delay. Glad it's all done now I really do doubt the house will be done in 4 weeks I guess I'm just trying to keep optimistic but I'm prepared to disappointed at the same time Is your house done right?
