Front garden landscaping FINISHED!

So I finally planted and mulched around our new paved path beside the garage.

Rocks were placed on one side of the paving, against the garage, as there is drainage along that wall. These rocks match the rocks placed in other areas of the front yard. The other side I edged the pavers with Dianella Petite Marie. These cute little plants will grow approx 25cm x 25cm and once grown will form a nice little border. 

I also planted two more Nandina plants along the driveway to continue the line of Nandinas planted some time ago. 

There is also another Lomandra Lime Tuff, which looks so tiny compared to the established ones but, if the others were anything to go by, it will grow in no time and fill the void in that area. 

The rest of the front yard currently looks like the below pictures. Some plants still have a fair bit of growing to go but I'm happy with how it's all come together, especially as I have done it all myself except the concreting and paving. 

A 'hole' lot of nothing

Today our driveway retaining wall company attended on site to dig a hole for the concrete footings. We were surprised they were there as originally they couldn't attend until the scaffolding was removed by the builder. It turns out that the retaining wall company (or more accurately, their engineers) worked out they could change the footings around which means that they can commence work whilst the scaffold is still there. Which is great news as at least something is progressing.

Here is the massive hole they've dug today. It is approx 600mm deep, 800mm wide, 10m long. 

Nothing has appeared to have happened within the house, although I'm quietly optimistic that we will see some action by the end of the week.

In more exciting news we have ordered our fridge - a Samsung french door fridge. This will sit in our walk in pantry.
