Hi light, did the builder give you a lanscape plan which the landscaper needs for the quote? would you you be able to shed some light on how you got a quote? Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 742May 28, 2015 7:07 am I made my own landscape plan using an image editor with one of the pages of my final plans as the background. Just painted colours and lines on to it to show where things would go approximately and then explained our ideas in an email. Like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I also sent him a copy of the proper final plans so he could see distances and contours, as well as anything he might need to work around etc Also, while retaining walls are part of the landscaping, I believe that fencing is a separate things.

If you live in the hills we should catch up over a coffee/beer on me. Sorta in a hurry to get this lanscape quote is the final thing we need for the as if complete quote for the bank, so over the weekend or next week.... Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 744May 28, 2015 9:02 am Oh and in case you all weren't aware, the new Ikea at Marsden Park has opened today. That's going to make things so much easier for stuff being bought from Ikea. We're not going to buy everything from Ikea but they do have a bunch of stuff we're going to get like our alfresco seating and some book shelving etc Paddington 29 @ Blue Horizon Estate (Lot 105, Wattleridge Crescent, North Kellyville) Our Build Progress Blog: http://light487.wordpress.com/ Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 746May 30, 2015 12:30 pm RJMM_H1 KV_BH Thanks Light! Were you able to get a free quote? Any others I could get quotes from? Hey KV_BH, here is a list that I am planning to get some quotes from eventually...I have no experience with any of them and have yet to contact them myself -- they are all local to The Hills area though. Hope it helps you, and anyone else.

The only other thing I can suggest is to have a drive around the area, in the new estates (Gardener's Ridge, Mapleton Grove, White Gum, etc) a lot of corner blocks have landscaping signs advertised on them, perhaps taking some numbers down that way could work -- although i'm guessing they would be flat out too. Thanks for the update, i'll keep looking also, it's only a quote anyway - the work won't be done til next year at this stage. Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 748May 30, 2015 12:41 pm I agree with an earlier poster that we should all combine as a co op and arrange quotes for everyone with driveways retaining and fences. ...... Power to the people .lol Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 749May 30, 2015 9:17 pm Retaining is a landscaping thing usually, so are driveways but definitely the fences would be good to co-op considering we all have to have the same.

If we can get someone to come out and give us a combined quote it's definately better for them and better for us. I have also been looking but can't seem to find anyone either. Who ever gets this job will be one happy chappy!!! Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 752Jun 04, 2015 1:41 pm How has everyone gone with contacting their neighbors regarding splitting the costs for fencing? I know we all have to have the same lapped & capped grey fencing which certainly makes things easier. Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 753Jun 10, 2015 8:48 pm I've seen that some estates and residential parks/areas have the ability to get landscaping rebates if they follow certain guidelines. Is there such a thing available for this estate or the North Kellyville area in general?

The Hills Shire currently offer a rebate to those who knockdown and rebuild a house but nothing relating to landscaping guidelines. Wish they did! Re: Blue Horizon Estate, North Kellyville 755Jun 12, 2015 11:10 am Anyone wanting fencing and retaining might consider zacoli fencing 0432690733 & speak to Rebecca. We have used in the past and will hopefully use them this time.
