Re: BJ's Regent23 - My DIY Landscaping! New Pics!! 05/10 626Oct 06, 2009 6:38 am Looking good, Beejay - nice bargain! I love your redgum post idea too. What are you planning on for the portico? I see you have a small step-down from the driveway, so am I right in assuming that you're going to add some kind of flooring? Re: BJ's Regent23 - My DIY Landscaping! New Pics!! 05/10 627Oct 06, 2009 10:45 am kek Looking good, Beejay - nice bargain! I love your redgum post idea too. What are you planning on for the portico? I see you have a small step-down from the driveway, so am I right in assuming that you're going to add some kind of flooring? Thanks Kek Yeah, there is a slight step there... I wanted to put a timber deck over the portico concrete, raised so you step down to the driveway... but I am rethinking this idea as it seems everyone is now doing the timber deck portico... and i like to be different! I'm not sure what to do though.... It still needs to be raised, since the drop is already there from the driveway... Ideas? Building with PD - Regent 23 in Point Cook WE'RE IN!!! Landscaping!

New Pics!! 05/10 632Jan 20, 2010 9:23 pm So it's been 3 months! I thought it was a good time to catch up on a few threads, and of course, post a few pics. I have just finished the back/side yard... We had the concrete paths done after Christmas, and I have had the last 5 days off, which I used to work solely on the yard... and did I ever! 5 days straight... and this is the result. Tuscan 40mm rocks, and planted a few natives... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Max & Molly giving their approval... I think they are exited about having grass...
