Our outdoor facilities are now finished, at least around the house. Everything was done by ourselves.
My son set the curbstones, we were able to buy pebbles for splash protection from a company in the next town, picked them up with a trailer and spread them, we paved together.
Mostly got bushes through classifieds for little money, some even given away, the bamboo was cut from our own hedge, I had to buy the photinia at the hardware store.
Granite stones for the platform and the flower beds through classifieds, got those for the path as a gift.
We set up the chain-link fence and the small gate ourselves.
Today a trailer full of topsoil will still be spread on the path outside the property, and grass seeded.
What was worse was that our construction road was located in that area and the concrete recycling that the general contractor had dumped had to be removed at least partially. A digger would have been great here ;). At least we got rid of it at the company in the neighboring town.
Altogether we moved, transported away, picked up, and spread about 15 tons of material.
Overall, the whole thing cost us less than €1000.
And we like it.
Our outdoor facilities seem to take care of themselves... View from the terrace :cool:
