Here are a stack of photos of our landscaping. We rushed to have it completed before Winter as the thought of having to deal with a muddy yard and a hyperactive dog just stresses me out. I'll preface this post by saying you're not about to see anything fancy, the job was basically to level the land, lay turf, a garden bed with mulch and some outdoor tiles. Our long term landscaping goals will be more ambitious but there is no rush as we will most likely try to DIY most of it over the next 5 years.
The landscaper we used was BKR Landscapes, they're a duo based in Hampton Park and finished the job in a week and were reasonably priced too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. :)

| MANHOLE SURPRISE. We came across a manhole so a change in plans meant we had to build a retaining wall around this. Not ideal but what can you do. |
