Seeing as how one half of our renovating team is a structural landscaper, we were always going to have a spectacular garden. The garden before was pretty standard for many areas of Parramatta Park in Cairns - overgrown, uninviting and no doubt rarely used by the previous owners or tenants.

Shane had various grand plans which had to be somewhat tempered, but we still undertook an absolutely massive overhaul of the backyard, bringing in bobcats and excavators and clearing out a huge amount of soil.

Once the walls had been built we brought a whole lot of soil back again and filled them up, and one of the most satisfying jobs of all was installing the turf and planting masses of tropical plants.

We love it and it has really become our little haven away from the not-so-pretty inside. Can't wait to have a party in the backyard as reckon the walls will make perfect informal seating!
Shane does run his own business and it would be remiss of me not to give it a quick plug here so if you need any paving, landscaping or garden maintenance in the Cairns region (from Gordonvale to Palm Cove), give him a call on 0467 492 225 or visit his website
