We have been busy settling in and trying to finish our landscaping. As first home buyers it's all new to us. One of the biggest costs post house build was excavation! removing all that excess fill and levelling the yard! If anyone is looking at getting this done let me know and I can pass on the details of 2 guys who did an awesome job and had competitive prices. I was quoted 6-8k just for excavating 12 tonnes of fill and that didn't even include levelling the yard it was just removing the soil. They did all this plus laid certified turf! for a very good price! and they did an outstanding job they also offered services of planting. But we decided to do this ourselves. Next we did our fencing and by far ezyclip was the most competitive and reasonable with good quality. Driveway was done by Jim excellent service seriously we had other guys come in and say No no we can't do the driveway like that. We felt we couldn't have our driveway the way we wanted to. However Jim was easy to deal with and didn't sound pushy or telling us No we can't do this. Awesome job and very happy with the service. We had one landscaper approach us for all the services at a price of 15-30k including driveway, grass, plants, excavation however his job was not good unfortunately seeing from others in the neighbourhood and their comments. Apparently they thought he laid Sir Walter turf and now their turf is all purple and burnt looking. So be careful if anyone goes around saying that they will lay a certain turf unless you get a certificate saying its the authentic stuff! Overall we have saved heaps. Now just planting our yard and finishing it off If you want anymore info please pm me i'll be happy to share our experiences and contacts. p.s love the neighbourhood Click here to visit Our Blog PM email id for invites to our blog Building at The Ponds!!!

In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10319 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25078 |
