Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 10, 2012 9:05 pm We're currently looking for landscapers for our build in Wallan, so if anyone knows of or has used a landscaper they'd recommend who services the northern suburbs of Melbourne - eg. Doreen, Mernda, Epping, Wollert, Craigieburn, etc - and that will come a bit further out to Wallan then I'd appreciate it if you could post their details here or pm them to me. We've got a bit of slope to deal with which will require a bit of a cut (from front left corner) and fill (at rear of house and on back left corner) to level things out a bit, as well as potentially 35-40 metres of retaining walls to put in - up to 1.2-1.3m high at their highest points although will be significantly less than that for the majority of the length of the walls. If anybody can recommend a landscaper(s) who is/are good with structural landscaping works/excavation/retaining walls and doesn't charge the earth (pun intended) then I'd appreciate it. Some people apparently have nothing better to do than comment on other people's sigs.

Re: Looking for landscaper - northern suburbs Melbourne (Wal 4May 13, 2012 8:30 am Have you looked at doing most of the work yourself? My brother and I did my sisters which required engineering and 62 metres of walls. We did the initial site plan, went to engineer and had it all approved and got the permit through council ( walls were 1.2 high). The quote from the landscapers was 24k. We come in under 6k... it is not hard work when you understand the requirements and as far as I understand all councils in victoria have the same structural requirements for retainers. Re: Looking for landscaper - northern suburbs Melbourne (Wal 5May 13, 2012 1:24 pm I'd love to be able to do that and save a bit of cash, but unfortunately we do not have the time nor the wherewithal/skill to do so with any confidence ourselves.

Re: Looking for landscaper - northern suburbs Melbourne (Wal 6May 14, 2012 8:00 pm I can highly recommend Mark from Blue Gum Landscapes. He lives in Doreen. Mark did our retaining wall out the back. Very professional job and a great guy. Cost was very very reasonable. Sorry, don't have his number handy but if you google you'll find it. Thanks for your reply! We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them.
