Hi Bro,
Backyard Dimensions: 15m (width) x 4m (length)
Plan: Artificial turf lawn with 1m-wide garden beds along all three sides.
We’re currently building our home, and our neighbours are also under construction and planning to close off the fence soon. This raises a question about the best approach for backyard filling, leveling, and landscaping.
There will be 0.9m of space on each side of the house for access to the backyard. Is it feasible to complete the backyard work—such as filling, leveling, and installing turf and garden beds—after the house is built, given only 0.9m side access?
Alternatively, if we fill and level the backyard now while there’s easier access from the rear, is there a risk that construction activities could damage or disturb the finished work?
Are we allowed to complete the work ourselves, or do we need to comply with any council regulations? From pricing perspective, how much budget should be reserved for above job?
Please share your thoughts on this.
Kind regards
MM
