Landscape Construction

Your builder will need to liase with your landscaper regarding timing and execution of the project. Earthworks, pool dig and sub-grading of the landscape areas may done during construction. Retaining walls, fencing, and levelling will also help your builder to run a safe and efficient site. If these items are constructed early while access is open, then they will be more cost effective.
