Landscape ideas

We have starting to collate some ideas into a landscape plan for the house. Looks like this will keep us busy for a big chunk of 2011 (and beyond :-)).

We need to have the front landscaping finished before we can officially move in so that will be first on the list.
Current state of the house 31.12.2010
Here are a few concept 3D's depicting what we have in mind. This includes decking, paving, planter boxes, swimming pool, water feature and a pergola structure. I have already started on the letterbox!

  2. Happy new year to you too Marlon

    Thanks, I used google 'sketch up' to model the house.

    It is available for download off the net and most importantly it is free!

    I found it was pretty easy to use once you get your head around the basics.

    I can definitely recommend giving it a go if it is something that interests you.

  4. What material will you be using on the top of the timber panels in your outdoor room? Colorbond panels?

  5. Hi Tonia

    I think we will sheet the roof to this area in clear polycarbonate so that we can still get some light through the battens
