I could NOT believe the fluctuation in pricing - the cheapest quote about $8k to the most expensive being nearly $30k for effectively the same job, less a couple of details like staining of planters which I can do myself!! I've not allowed a big budget for plants but the contractor I chose said I'd be surprised by what he can buy for that as compared to us going and buying planes ourselves.... If anyone else is going down this route, I strongly suggest you do a lot of research and have a clear idea of what you want. In my case, I drew up a plan on paper to give them an idea on how I wanted it to look - excuse the drawing below, I'm not creative & it's not to scale!! The front was done already (it's basic so I might get them to spruce that up whilst doing the back). My landscaping should start tomorrow and be done by end of the week. All going to plan, hopefully no rain!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Will post pics once done, preying it will look good:-) J Hi Jason, You have a beautiful house !! External and internal looks amazing. Could you share some landscaping companies worth getting quote from? Much appreciated. Thanks! Sure where abouts in VIC are you and I will PM you some I found when researching ...
