Hello, we have a 900 m² (9,688 sq ft) plot of land.
We are building a bungalow of about 200 m² (2,153 sq ft), so around 600 m² (6,458 sq ft) of the land will remain.
I want a simple, low-maintenance garden. Very clear and without any frills.
Some beech hedges, grass, paving stones in front of the house and for parking spaces, and all around the house. Two terraces and one large garden shed (tool shed).
Are there any guidelines for what this might cost?
I estimate that about one-third of the work will be done by myself.

Karsten, that sounds really good!
For us, the earthworks contractor wants over 3000 euros just for 4m (13 feet) of blocks (1.5m (5 feet) high). Is that normal?! I think that might be a bit high but still acceptable.
A few hundred euros for the blocks, plus excavation and concrete for the foundation.
Is it backfilled or not?

That’s not really possible because the L-shaped blocks and backfilling behind the house are directly adjacent to the rear wall. If someone other than the person who applied the waterproofing to the soil-contacting wall does this work, it creates a warranty issue in case of potential moisture damage. Then there would be two possible parties considered responsible. It’s better for the same builder who handled the shell construction to do it. We’ll just have to accept the price.
