Clearing up ready to start

Looking up the side of the house where the pergola and dwarf connifers were


Side of the house where the driveway will be going

Looking up towards the top of the corner of the block





Grinding out tree stumps


The back yard with retaning wall gone, pavers removed and most of the bushes removed
We have only cut down one tree as the house was designed around all trees so when built it looks as if it has been there for a long time. Also the shade from the morning sun from the big trees at the back and the blockout from the neighbours from hell (you all know the flanders from the simpsons).


This has been done over a while but most since xmas 2008. Getting the side driveway was the most important as the builders need to have access to the house and my mum still needs somewhere to park. We didn't want them tramping mud and dirt up to her door.
