BRS landscaping nunawading - $600 approx for a plan, did a relative’s garden. Not necessarily flash but seem honest and produced a good simple garden for my sister. To do works range $35-60,000 (cheapest quote we’ve had so far, others started at 60) 2. Trevor Owen (Monarch Garden Design) 0412 407 711 recommended by our private town planner as able to produce a landscape plan to get us through council. Again $600 approx. Will not do works or recommend anyone else. For context we had two other quotes for our garden - plan $1100/$1700 - works $100,000/$60-80,000 All with the same brief written by me. Hey treedance, what were you going to get for that price? Did it include concreting/exposed aggregate? So expensive hey? Yes much more than we had thought! I have a very detailed brief but it wasn’t ‘fancy’. Driveway in existing location and to remain gravel. No swimming pool (!!), possibly a small water feature. All plants and planting. Fairly level block. 730m2 minus the area for house (we’re building double storey) so a reasonable area. Vegetable garden. Watering system. Have compared with other pricing since - I don’t think the lower figure is considerably out of range. For just a patch of lawn and peripheral minimal planting I think you could spend a good amount less than our lowest quote. Re: Arden Homes - Votivo 43 - New home build 78Sep 10, 2018 3:46 pm Our Site Costs just went up by $12,052 totalling to $27,052. The contract had it at $15,000 subject to soil survey. Apparently our land though flat has a lot of fill and the soil is sandy and requires H class up to 385mm deep and screw piles 6m deep. Do you think this is a reasonable hike or just a way for them to compensate for their losses by having us signed up before their $20,000 increase to the base price of the Votivo 43. On top of this of course we'll have to keep paying them 1000 a month till they're ready to start!
