Backyard excavation

So, we decided we need to remove a load of dirt from the backyard before the block behind us starts building. It costs a lot more if there is no access to where you are excavating.

So, to comply with council we could take 600mm out up to 1metre within each boundary without having any approvals. so this is what we did!

The backyard is not shaped nor complete, but gives a better indication of what it will look like.

Leveled off

No, that's not the start of a retaining wal! They are just there to block the mud when it rains :)
However, this is where the retaining wall will go when we get to that point
