Living in Inner-West Sydney and I have a fairly small-medium sized backyard.

Unfortunately, being on reactive clay means that my backyard in winter suffers from retained moisture/dampness. In addition, it doesn't drain well. Finally, I have 2 sons and 2 medium/large dogs who trashed whatever grass I had remaining this winter.

Looking for someone who can produce a design for me, taking into account my needs and requirements (which I will spell out in more detail along with provision of measurements etc). The intention is that I will do the actual work in the backyard over the coming months and when it gets too hard or requires specialist skills, or the wife nags me too much, I'll then bring in the professionals.

Either online or in person is fine. Suggestions? Referrals?

I got my last referral from these forums and the builder ended up building me a deck, an outdoor room, a pergola and a new kitchen before he disappeared from these forums, never to be seen again (!!)
