I suppose you just have to ask but before you do landscaping the first thing you should do is the fence. I saw someone recently who decided to do their fence after most of the landscaping was in and they made a complete mess of everything. Re: How soon do you start Landscaping on a new contruction? 10Jun 14, 2011 4:02 pm Well, our builder is doing the fence for us, so that's not a problem, butwhat I was thinking was along the lines of doing the retaining walls and garden beds, and then once they've given an assurance they're done with the backyard, getting the soil etc done ready for turf to be laid after settlement.

Re: How soon do you start Landscaping on a new contruction? 13Jul 03, 2011 9:59 pm We got our keys two and a half weeks ago, my hubbi has completed the back landscaping today, he did it on his own and is totally exhausted, allot of hard work . Our concreter laid the slap for the pergola, the fences will be up by Tuesday we hope. Our much love dog has been at the local holiday farm, kennels, we hope to have him back Wednesday at the latest.
