PossmannHello everyone,
We recently paved the driveway and the parking spaces in front of the house. The soil mound, which was left from the excavation on the property, was spread out roughly to its near-final levels. The earthworker / landscaper did a very neat job – we are very satisfied.
We now have a comprehensive offer, which would mean our entire outdoor area could be completed in 4 weeks (which is very appealing):
- Creating and edging flower beds in the front garden
- Path with stone slabs and gravel along the front and side of the house up to the terrace, approximately 20 meters x 1.20 meters (65.6 feet x 3.9 feet)
- Complete construction of the terrace with patio slabs, the terrace is about 45 m² (484 ft²)
- Retaining wall to hold back soil at the edge of the property, about 30 meters (98 feet) long and 1.60 meters (5.25 feet) high (this is the biggest cost factor) – not a natural stone wall, but concrete blocks, looked great in the photo
- Well including all permits (building permit / planning permission), electrical work, and pump from the company Hunter
- Automatic underground garden irrigation system (runs once a day and waters the garden using water from the well)
- Roll-out turf, approximately 300 m² (3,229 ft²)
- Excavation / edging for the basement apartment also with a concrete block retaining wall
- Installation of boundary wire for robotic lawnmower
- Paving of the basement terrace, with filling and leveling beforehand (for a separate unit, likely about 25 m² (269 ft²))
All materials are included. I understand it’s hard to judge without knowing the exact details, but we feel it’s a lot of money and also a lot of work.
Thank you very much.

xMisterDx9 Aug 2023 23:45Sure bargain... but anyone worried about their health just because they spend 2 or 3 months working in the garden with a wheelbarrow and shovel is unbelievable—how degenerated humanity has become nowadays...
People are more likely to injure themselves at the gym because they have been performing exercises incorrectly for 25 years or, even worse, using machines that guide the movement.
My neighbor had some Polish workers who paved the driveway and spread the soil. They only used a wheelbarrow; the only machine they had was a vibrating plate compactor.
They wear themselves out because they do this their entire lives.
But not the average person who builds their own garden... degenerated... really completely degenerated...
Oh, a comparison: paving driveway, parking space, and terrace. 10,000 EUR. Polish workers, no slope, poured concrete on my property, he can still chip off part of it.
If they deliver all that for 45,000 scoundrels with good quality, you can count your blessings.
