A local company, Coastal Landscaping and Earthmoving Company undertook the work to address the drainage issues as well as concreting down the side of the house.
The work commenced in July and took four weeks to complete. The weather was mostly fine but heavy rain delayed the end of the job making the backyard a boggy quagmire. I wasn’t able to do much planting out before my planned holiday. So that was delayed for almost a month which as it turned out allowed the backyard to dry out. Being heavy clay soil and having lost much of the precious topsoil a lot of soil restoration needed to be done.
A big thank you to Rob and his team for their professional and considerate approach to this challenging job. I learnt a lot. Also, I enjoyed watching them work as a team and the progress each day.
