The backyard is virtually flat ... just some tufts of grass/weeds that I need to get rid of around the boundary and it will be quite barron. Not for long hopefully!
The plan is to get the retaining wall (just one sleeper high) along the back fence done this weekend. Frank is coming back on the 24 October to bring in the dirt for the grass and the crushed rock for the patio area. Lazy? Yes but at $60 an hour it's much better for our marriage than barrowing it all in for 2 days.
The only mishap was a small hole put into the paling fence (in the gate). There was a star picket in the dirt that Frank didn't see and as he went through the gate it pierced the wood. Oh well ... worst things could have happened.
Getting very excited about this area now. I can visualise how I want it to look .. just hope it comes out that way.
Looking onto patio area 
Looking from gate to back
Alcove area outside the formal lounge - this will be a lush garden one day (hopefully)
Back - the bit that will have a small garden bed and grass
Back - can you imagine the grass there and trees along the fence??

Wow! You must be excited. You have a good sized yard too going by the photos.
I saw your bit on H1 too about your garden feature. It's going to look really nice. I like the darker bamboo and Kiwi Fruit is a lovely colour! Can't wait to see it come together.
