We met with a guy yesterday who will quote on decking, concreting, earth moving etc.... He was recommended by our site supervisor (his next door neighbour). We have previously had a decking quote, so will be able to compare. We should have the quote within the week.
The diagram below shows more or less what we are planning to do initially. We would like to put in a pool down the track, which would be at the back of the house. So, for now...
- exposed aggregate concrete driveway
- front fencing on each side of house - same as boundary post and wire fences, with farm gates
- decking from front door, including removal of 'dirt wall' in front of entrance, to be graded similar to driveway
- battening of land on each side of house to lessen the step up from the site cut
- some levelling on 'dead' side of house (ready for our future orchard - well fruit trees...)
- concrete path down side of house, including wider at garage as we will probably put a clothesline on the garage wall
- small deck outside our bedroom (sliding door there)
- and.... the big one - a large area of decking extending from alfresco. We will deck a metre further out the back and four metres out to the side. Total will be about 9.2m x 4.2m. Should be big enough!
We then need to consider planting, but shall probably get all this done first. Wouldn't be a bad start!
