Actually that reminds me - when I used to work for a landscaping company (cleaning up gardens, trimming hedges, pruning trees, planting flowers/shrubs, laying sod, etc.), the girl I worked with and I used to always wonder about all these rich fucks who never really enjoyed the beautiful gardens they had - cause we were the ones who did all the work on them. |
Depends exactly what you're doing in the way of landscaping. I had 2 huge retaining walls put in to stop the hill sliding down on top of us and I think it was close to 8 tonnes of soil to make the terraces. The walls and steps required an engineer to design and someone that's actually qualified to make it, because lets face facts.
If I did it, it'd be a rubbish job we'd dead in a landslide by now!
Aside from that I do all the planting of flowers, hedges, lawns and anything else I can drag up and down the damn hill like my current whimsy of cute cement statues.
