You've also had me googling treatments for the shower screens! Are you doing that yourself or getting someone in? You've got a really decent garden, do you know what you plan to do out the back?

You've also had me googling treatments for the shower screens! Are you doing that yourself or getting someone in? You've got a really decent garden, do you know what you plan to do out the back? We are planning to do the shower screen treatments ourselves at the moment. I have got a rough plan for our backyard however waiting for hubby to confirm the shed size. Even though we have just under 13mtrs to the back fence I plan to keep it simple and low maintenance. We will be planting some more native bushes to go with the ones that survived and some grass for the dog, just have to find a retaining wall product like we have at our current place. We plan to do concrete to the alfresco, rear and laundry side plus the side access. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 303Jun 01, 2018 3:29 pm Couple of updated pics. They have also started on the driveway and crossover prep work.

Can't be much left to finish off now? Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 313Jun 11, 2018 10:35 pm nicolac34 The render colour looks so good against your bricks! Can't be much left to finish off now? Thanks I went with Basalt so that the bricks would stand out and it should make a good backdrop to the front gardens. Not much to go now, paving, meter box and replacement door needs painting, flyscreens and few loose odds and ends that the SS needs to follow up.

I fine tuned our landscaping plan and submitted it to Reece Plumbing last night, should have our irrigation plan back in a week. Lucky that I had dabbled with Sketchup before as hubby failed to mention that I had to do the plan online..... it is not perfect but not bad for a evening effort.
