Landscaping update
And so landscaping begins,,cant say im a big fan of hard manual labour lol,,,those blocks sure are heavy,not to mention all those barrow loads of rocks,on the upside our new lounge arrived,and actually fits,,the inside just about there,,,here r a few pics
Retaining wall and lounge suite looks lovely, you did lots of work. Mine excavator did most of the work and removed dirt more than 6 truck of load, retaining wall holes done, lots and alots of rocks under ground. Start doing retaining wall post in on this weekend and sleepers next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of turf you going to do? how much area you going to turf in? i have around 200sqm turf need to buy don't know how much its get cost.
Sir walter buffalo. Don't know how much we need, we have a $8000 landscaping package, that will cover turf, woodchips and plants. We will buy small white rocks and soil ourselves. Every one is saying to buy buffalo, don't know why. ..but it must b good.
ReplyDeletethats what iam thinking, buy buffalo too, less mowing and great look. 8000$ seems too expensive, what's your landscaper did?
ReplyDeleteThe package came with the block, we get 3000 for the rear and 5000 for the front, we can use it how we like, it also came with a landscaper to give advice and he will do all the buying and planting the plants,,,,we just tell him what we want,,,i have no clue what we want,,something simple and very tuff,,i aint no gardener lol
ReplyDeleteIt's looking so great Ann! I have retaining wall envy, those blocks are going to look great. Are they the ones that click together? It's hard to have a vision for landscaping, I have no idea!
ReplyDeleteThanx,,yeah they just stack on top of each other and the u fill them with rocks, the weight of them is what keeps them there,,cause they sure r heavy lol,,,i really dont know what im doing in the landscaping department either,never done it before,,i think it will just sorta evolve as we go along,,well thats what im hoping,,,,cause we have little retaining walls on all 4 sides, i think when they are in, i hope i will have a eureka moment and everything will b so obvious what to do next lol, well heres hoping
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Hardest thing for me is choosing the colour of the retaining blocks!
ReplyDeleteIts looking great Ann. My land is months away to be registered but cannot wait to see it finished and move in :)
