My back got hurt just looking at those rocks. I have lots of rocks at my place if you still need more rocks please come by.
They have done great job placing those rocks by hand.

The last thing I need is council to knock it back. Finally got quotes. Scary quotes. $33k for the deck but without the gazebo. Including gazebo it was $48k! It's only money right? On a better note my husband has been doing a great job with the rocks! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We may even be able to get our OC soon!

Finally got quotes. Scary quotes. $33k for the deck but without the gazebo. Including gazebo it was $48k! That is way expensive!! Your husband is pretty handy right, can he do the decking with some help from mates. Or both of you might wants to attend carpentry course. There is one person I know get some quote from him if you wish. I had use him for dividing my garage one half turn into a room. I find his price reasonable. I will pm you his details. Re: Landscaping a new house (Sydney) 55Mar 03, 2016 6:01 pm Thanks shazaw. I got another quote. Much cheaper. Just need to clarify a few things before going ahead.

Wow that is expensive! All our back patio prices are out of this world as well. The hunt continues til I find someone who will do it for a reasonable price The bamboo is for the side next to the courtyard? I love the maple tree. I need to get us one of those Re: Landscaping a new house (Sydney) 58Mar 11, 2016 4:51 am The guy I have now for the deck and pergola is very well priced. He's semi retired and I think charges very little for his labour. It was through a call out via hi pages. Bamboo is for sides of the front garden and courtyard. The ones I have in ground are going great and sending up tall shoots. Yeah Japanese maples are great! I've had that one for years now. Been moving it around a lot in the last few years. Still need to keep an eye out for a cloud tree. Also a Japanese water feature. But all that is possibly too much and may end up cluttering things. Re: Landscaping a new house (Sydney) 59Mar 11, 2016 6:40 am Hi Yvonneh, what bamboo type and where did you get them? How much per pot? I am looking at getting bamboo for screening the sides of my house and my backyard too. Ta! Re: Landscaping a new house (Sydney) 60Mar 11, 2016 7:01 am I got ours from http://www.bamboos.com.au/ it was 200mm pots at $29 ea + GST plus $200 delivery to Sydney. Once the pots are in the ground they grow fairly quickly. The ones in the pots are all growing roots too. I use lawn fertilizer and water everyday at this stage. We went with Dark Weavers as they are a darker green and can get a bit taller than the gracillis. Hope that helps. Hi, How was your experience with them? Would you recommend them? Cheers, 3 60521 0 5171 No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6406 |
