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.

readytorumble30 Dec 2017 08:36Planting a beech hedge should be included in the landscaping budget (the original poster mentions they want to do one-third of the landscaping). This means the hedge would cost less than 100 euros per 20 meters (about 65 feet).
So, in earthworks and landscaping, you can really "bury the money"... I think that's clear.
Reference points from our experience:
Spreading and leveling topsoil on the site – 1500€
Creating a light well with planter boxes – 3000€
Paving 100m2 (1076 ft2) of courtyard with subbase – 8000€
Retaining wall at the carport, 2 x 10m (2 x 33 ft) – 5800€
Entrance stairs with subbase and foundation, 10 steps – 3000€
Building a boundary wall – 2000€
Graveling and compacting 62m2 (667 ft2) terrace in layers – 3000€
Green roofing for the carport (required by local authority) – 2500€
And this doesn’t yet include lawn, a finished terrace, or any plants!

First, you need to know what you want.
There are millions of options for paths, terraces, and plants.
What does your plot look like? Does it need to be leveled first? Etc.
Our two terraces alone cost around 10,000.

Are there any typical cost estimates for this?
I would estimate that about one-third of the work will be DIY.
16,000 for standard execution. No expensive paving, but materials costing 11 per m². All taxes included and without DIY work.
