Re: New House: How much would it cost for landscaping 13Nov 14, 2007 10:23 am Adrian B It doesnt have to cost a bomb, you just need to be smart, do some research and open your eyes. What can you d yourself? Some things must be left to professionals, some should be, others shold not. Why pay a sparkie to dig a trench for a power cable? If you know it nees to be 60cms deep, you dig the trench. A simple thing like that can save you hundreds of dollars in labour. I agree. Have a go yourself. It's only your time and labour. Unless of course you can work and make more money than you would spend to get the job done.

Re: New House: How much would it cost for landscaping 15Nov 16, 2007 12:26 pm aaurora we have quite a large block at 1122m2, and this is what we have worked out roughly so far... .:. Turf - we can get it for $4.50 per sqm, laid. So maybe around $3000 .:. Front Yard Landscaping - about $2000 for retaining walls, top soil and levelling .:. Levelling of entire yard - $500 .:. Top soil over entire yard for turf - $1500 .:. Plants/mulch - no more than say $400 Total - about $8000 for a basic set up. Then you have to do fences, sheds etc. We are doing the planting ourselves but are getting other people to do the topsoil, levelling, turfing etc. It actually works out cheaper! Hi aaurora Can you tell me what type to turf you can get for $4.50 laid? Seems really cheap!! I agree - I am the boss!! Re: New House: How much would it cost for landscaping 16Nov 16, 2007 12:55 pm That turf is only Blue Couch, but he said it is really good quality. We were thinking about getting buffalo, but that would be 3 times more expensive. I think the couch will be fine?? If you want his number, let me know. He is from Logan Village. Our Adenbrook home was completed in September. Re: New House: How much would it cost for landscaping 18Nov 16, 2007 3:22 pm thanks for that info Aaurora - we need to have most of that done too.
Don't forget markets are always the cheapest place for plants and they are good quality. Dare i suggest that some of us Brisbane people form a gardening coalition? One day at everyones house each - could be like a working bee - to help everyone keep their costs down. Homeowner provides bbq lunch??? Just build it the way I want and everything will be okay. Re: New House: How much would it cost for landscaping 19Nov 16, 2007 3:39 pm slugger - it's amazing when it comes to turf prices.
we want empire zoiysia - best price I could find to buy & lay myself was $6.50m2 - but then I would also need underlay. The guy who is doing our lawn irrigation (sub-surface to be water saving) will do turf + underlay + laying $6.50m2! Yes, I was happy with the work, bar a few small things.
