Unfortunately we are STILL going with the yard, but we finally got some momentum and our retaining walls are almost done. Once they are complete we can finish off the decking, gardens and the turf. A couple of our fences have gone up (all except our back boundary, which will happen once the retaining walls are finished). We had a concrete path poured down one side of the house which is also progress!
If you are in the Illawarra area and need retaining walls or anything concrete related, I highly recommend Total Concreting. Anton has been an absolute god send, a real gentleman and is so reliable. When he says he will be there, he's there. So many people would not even look at our job (a long story but a friend of ours was going to do the job as he is a landscaper by trade however Council said we had to use a licensed landscaper - it was like the day I found out Santa wasn't real) and wouldn't show up for quotes, but Anton has been amazing. Here are some progress shots, our yard still looks very much like a construction site but we are getting there:
