Complete backyard transformations — BBQ areas, fire features, turf and entertaining spaces — designed and built as one unified project, not a patchwork of separate trades.
Full backyard transformations usually mean juggling several trades. Dan's dual qualification means the masonry, paving, levelling and landscaping are all delivered by one crew, on one timeline, with one person accountable for the whole result.
Walk outside your door, have people over for a barbecue and beers, kids by the pool. A backyard that always looks perfect.
Masonry bases and bench surrounds built to house your BBQ and outdoor kitchen setup, finished to match the rest of the space.
Brick and stone fire features built as a focal point for evening entertaining, integrated into the paved surrounds.
Site levelling, soil preparation and turf laid alongside garden beds for a finished, low-maintenance yard.
Patios and paved entertaining zones tied into the overall design, laid to fall correctly for drainage.
Unified site drainage and levelling across the whole yard, so water goes where it should and nothing settles unevenly.
Structural masonry, paving and landscaping combined into a single, fully coordinated project from start to finish.
Full transformations touch every part of the yard — structural elements, paving falls, garden bed levels and turf all need to work together, or water and settling issues show up later.
Coordinating retaining walls, paving, drainage and landscaping across separate trades often causes mismatched levels and drainage conflicts at the handover points between trades. A single dual-trade contractor designs and builds the whole site to one consistent fall and standard, removing that risk entirely.
Most full transformations on the Mornington Peninsula run from several weeks to a few months depending on scope — structural masonry, excavation, paving and landscaping stages. You'll get a clear project timeline as part of your fixed-price quote after the site visit.
