Or is that end in Site. :)
Well, we've completed the landscaping for 90% of the area of our lot; basically 3 of the 4 sides of the house are done. All 3 are just pending the completion of the fence after the grass has had a chance to settle and take root.
The last remaining side is a different beast. We'll be putting in a retaining wall to protect/support the concrete apron and then after the apron is in, it'll be time to drill extra depth holes - due to the lot next door cutting their site right to the boundary. Their retaining wall is 200mm off the boundary and 600mm high, so a standard fence post depth wouldn't have a hope in hell of standing up against the wind and would just be pushed over in a few days or weeks. That fence will also only be 1.8m from the natural lay of the land, unlike it's northern counterpart which is extra height - I think the difference between the tops of the two fences will be around a meter. Doesn't really bother us, as we're on the high side of the fence and the owner next door is happy with us having +-1.4m of fence height against our house height.
Anyway, if all goes according to plan, in a month all the landscaping/fencing will be done. Finally. Hopefully never to be worried about again.
Once that is complete I promise I'll post photos of the before and after. :)
