Hi all,

I had a few landscapists come round for estimating the cost of doing
our backyard, but unfortunately all quoted more than I budgeted. So
now I am thinking of doing the work myself. I'm OK with mowing and
laying down new turf, but I don't know where to start with the patio.

Anyone care to comment how big a job that will be? Or, am I better
off biting the bullet and cashing out to get it done professionally?

What area is the patio, and how much have you been quoted so far?
