Thread: Landscaping/Reno- Before-During-After PICS

Inside the loungeroom, removal of non-structural dividing wall to open up the space, had one of those 70s style formal dining area that never got used.......... :eek:

Out the front, excavation of raised garden bed/junk area, new retaining wall and granite drive etc

Excavation of back yard, extension of deck around the side of house including new turf, irrigation system and retaining wall.....

Same, different angle......

Some shots of the front yard, new rock wall, new irrigation system, new turf, hedges etc etc . Stupidly didnt get any before shots of the front :mad:

Mate that looks great, you've given me a sore back just looking at the photos!
Not sure about the rocks infront of the back deck .. a bit picky I know.
I also like how the interior has changed removing that wall.
Time for a well earned rest!

Wow!

Busy weekend, JDub?

Looks fantastic...when can you do mine?

LOL, yep the walls were the worst.
I Agree with you about the rock but that wall was already there and I didnt fancy doing another new wall .
That view is from the garden bed towards the deck, when you actually stand on the deck you cant see them at all. Who stands in a garden bed anyway? Will plant along the edge there eventually (when my back recovers ) and you wont see the rocks at all

Will post pics of the view from the deck later on.

Currently working on the site for the new shed/workshop so unfortunately the work aint done yet.... I was told I could have my shed when the backyard was done, hence the motivation to do it all. LOL

Thanks for the comments

First Pic Below: Shot of deck from same angle just a wider view so you can see the main deck with the recently finished extension around the house.....

Tis is a big deck now!!!

I'd be wanting more than just a shed for all that hard-slog!:eek: Looks great JDub - reckon you've at least earned a beer or two anyway!

Good to see you remembered the reo.

Nice job all round - we haven't seen green grass for a long time up here - it does look good. Like the decking but up here if you paint it with a dark colour only expect a very short lifespan - it appears the expansion/contraction cycle is too much for dark coloured decks here and they split and rot very quickly - the so called treated stuff only lasts marginally longer.

Great job

Better get pooch checked seems he/she has a penchant for concrete

Good job mate... outside and in!!
