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.

Terraces: What size? What construction? What surface material? etc.
Paving stones: What area? What type of stones? etc.
Garden shed: What size? What material? etc.
There is probably also a need for a splash guard strip, possibly lighting.
I think you’re looking at between €30,000 and €50,000 depending on the materials.

readytorumble29 Dec 2017 22:15You received the benchmark estimate from me. I’m curious to see what others will estimate.
We are currently installing about 120 sqm (1,290 sq ft) of paving, 2 terraces with a total of around 60 sqm (645 sq ft), and 20 m (66 ft) of splash protection (gravel strip).
In addition, the topsoil of approximately 500 sqm (5,380 sq ft) of garden needs to be removed and replaced, and grass will be sown. There are also a few other earthworks.
It’s hard to say where we will end up cost-wise, but I estimate around 15,000 €. However, we’re doing all the work ourselves, so it’s not really comparable.
