Okay, so i have this problem. My Mom hired some people to build a new house in the backyard of a property that we own. they finished the house already and connected all the ultilities and paved a new drive way onto the road.
The thing is the land surrounding the new house are a mess. atm it's just dug up dirt, leftover building waste, dead leaves etc.

The land is not very large, i'd say less than 25 square metres. I'm thinking of getting some one to either clean up the area or just make it all concret (so i don't have to walk on dirt to get to the door). There is also a 2 metre tall wooden fence between the driveway that i want to replace.

what kinda of tradesperson should i call? i've never done things related to this before... how long would it take to fix up everything? i really need to get this done before next friday...


p.s. i live in australia.

[image loading]


not a very good diagram cuz i made it quickly...
if you want to help me and want to ask questions, i will try to answer them asap.

A landscaping firm should be able to handle the yard, although if it is just laying sod it looks small enough that you could do it without hiring anybody.

As for the fence, that isn't too much of a do it yourself project, unless you are well versed in that kind of work. You should probably hire a contractor. These websites should help. http://www.homeone.com.au/fencinggates/

Driveway, again, find a contractor.

Hope that helps.

Your guess is probably as good as mine.

P.S.: What is the monetary unit in Australia?

hm, your drawing makes my head hurt, since i actually took a technical drawing class. Buy some grass and put it there, they make them in squares and just lay it.

edit: oh an aussi. So if you live in an area with no grass, you can put gravel there, a rock garden, or just pave it and make it like an extra parking spot ie. boat/motorcycle, etc
