What does it cost to landscape my front and back yard?

I want to have a retaining wall made (10ft.x15ft.) (1ft.high) going downhill. An arrangement of plants and flowers to be planted within retaining wall. 30-40 evergreen trees trimmed. A complete clean up of both large front and back yards. Mulch and stones added everywhere. What would the cost to do this be?
What would the labor cost be around?

You will need to have a heavy equipment rental. We just rented ours from http://www.i80equipment.com/ because they were dirt cheap. Excuse the pun. The type of stone you choose makes a big difference. Don’t forget the cost of cement, mulch, loads of dirt, landscaping materials, etc. We spent $5k on ours. That was cheap compared to what we could have done. You have to really save wherever you can. The equipment rentals are the most expensive, so shop around. The site i listed is pretty good. When you buy plants, don’t skimp. When you do, you’ll find you get plants with diseases that spread to the rest of your plants and kill them off. Mites are a major problem with Walmart plants.

Why do landscaping/tree services not offer planting trees?

In this economy, why turn down small jobs?

Planting a tree is not always a small job. Many do not have a tree spade required for a tree of any size. Many will offer this service to those who purchase trees from them if the tree is not of any significant size and can be hand dug. Shop around a bit more and you will find what you need.

how to build a retaining wall with landscape timbers?

If it’s not going to hold a tremendous amount of weight, do this.

Buy some Steel concrete rods.

Drill holes in the timbers large enough for the rods.

Stagger the timbers, overlap joints. The holes must line up in all the timbers.
Then cut the rods to length as needed and drive them through the timber holes into the ground, far enough to hold.

I built a parking drive this way. I had to drive rods on the opposite side and used cables attached from one side to the other, to the rods. The cables were buried.

Bobcat and Dingo excavations

There are so many different things that you can do in your garden, one of these is landscaping. You can use landscaping to completely change the look of your garden. Although some landscaping procedures are fairly easy many others are complicated. Things like fitting retaining walls requires a lot of hard work. You might find it much easier to use bobcat and dingo excavations.

Check what you want

The most important thing is to make sure that you know exactly what you want. If you’re not sure then spend some time visiting your local library or read certain magazines to find out exactly what you want. If you’re considering a pond or certain other feature then check you know what it is you want. The internet is also a very useful way of making sure that you’re getting the right thing for your garden.

It’s very important to make sure that your garden is laid out correctly so that you get the best use of space. Making a feature bigger or deeper while still on paper is really easy, however when it’s actually built it’s almost impossible. Excavating slightly more earth won’t be much of a problem before you start, however leave it for too late then it can become very expensive.

This is why it’s vital you find out what it is you want before you start constructing or landscaping. If you wait too late then you could end up being unable to afford to do the projects as the costs spiral out of control. If you have decided not to do something that you would like simply because you can’t afford it then you can try to build flexibility into the design. Talk to a professional to make sure that you can add the feature again at some time in the future if you want.

Trial and error

Before you start the excavations you should start laying out the feature. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to use a hosepipe, you can then easily adjust and move the feature around the garden. If you want a pond for example then use a hosepipe to change the shape of the pond until it is perfect for your garden. You want to make sure that the garden not only looks great from outside, but it also looks fantastic when you look out at it from your window.

There are so many things that you need to think about, including tees and various other features around the area. These can make certain features impossible; they can also make it impossible to use certain equipment.

Ponds

Installing ponds in your garden may require retaining walls, for this to be as easy as possible some form of excavation is required to make the most out of the space. Excavating earth is in itself not an easy task and to dig a pond is more so. You would need specialist help if you are looking to go for a pond in your garden. It’s important to ask for help if you need it. A retaining wall is a very important structural part of your garden and even if it’s only purpose is to make your garden look nice it’s important that it will stand the test of time. One great company to talk to is Adelaide paving. They can be reached on the internet at www.adelaidepaving.com.au.
