A steep backyard was transformed by landscaping and creating new stairs, paving, garden beds, decking, fencing and lighting.
Finished job!
The project
The garden was a disaster... an old unused garden shed... the grass was mostly weeds and bamboo rhizomes... completely uninviting and unusable... south facing to the rear... and an ugly area under the deck...
Steps
Step 1
Draw and measure site, and design and check levels. Research everything on YouTube Bunnings videos.
Step 2
Clear unwanted items such as the old tin shed, rampant bamboo, abundant weeds and rocks galore.
Step 3
Build new rear fence.
Step 4
Create footing for stairs.
Step 5
Building the stairs and installing the landscaping timbers. Paint fences, and landscape timber and deck.
Step 6
Installing the Corten steel garden beds and edging. Installed new sandstone.
Step 7
Install weed mat and plants to prepare for stepping stones.
Step 8
Using large rocks that were too big to move and were used as a feature to hide the large deck footings. We also created two new garden beds to create a bit more interest and to flow into the rear garden below.
Step 9
Installation of gravel.
Step 10
Finishing touches.
