Are you doing the paving and pebbles yourself? we are doing that down 1 side too. what sort of retaining wall are you going to do at the back?
ReplyDeleteYep pebbles and paving ourselves - Brett has done it before at our last place.
ReplyDeleteThe back will be charcoal link block wall (same stuff you get at Bunnings).
