May I ask if your landscaping costs you more than $80K given your land size and the long driveway. We would like to have a feel as we are thinking about building another hosue in a few years' time. My landscaper has doen the hard landscaping for us and we decided to do the planting ourselves. We thought the planting was simple but bringing the soil forn the front of the house is not easy. We wish we would have asked them to do it at the same time.
I showed your photos to my hubby yesterday and he was very impressed with your decking. Your builder has a very good thinking about the grille for the spa bath. None of our neighbours have that on their spa bath.
Denifitely worth to pay for the details and quality.

Hi Beh,
Yes, unfortunately, our landscaping came in at $90k . We had pencilled in a guestimate when we planned the house of $20k
The landscaping did include however :
Driveway
Four retaining walls (One at each side, one at the back & a small one at front)
Deck & lighting
Levelling of the back yard
All plants
Turfing
Paving
New topsoil, mulch etc
Well, basically everything that was not inside the house.
It would have taken me about 10yrs to complete all that.
