Before: Empty backyard.
Trade category: Landscaping — Astroturf & Synthetic Grass
Before: Max’s small rental backyard was hard to maintain, and the tenants were struggling to keep the grass tidy.
“The backyard was only accessible through the house and the lawn is not really a size where you want to use a lawnmower, plus there’s no storage outside,” Max says.
The vision: “We wanted something easier for tenants to manage, so we decided on artificial grass,” Max says.
Choosing a tradie: Max leaned on Builderscrack’s reviews and quotes from tradies to make his decision on who to hire.
“I usually look for someone with good feedback and photos of past projects. For this one project, cost was a bigger factor since it’s a rental property, but I always do my research on their workmanship” Max explains.
Getting multiple quotes also helped him understand pricing and set realistic expectations for the job
Tradie: Shoutout to Curtis from Winsor Landscaping.
What the job entailed: Within a day, the tradie installed artificial turf, creating a clean, no-maintenance solution that’s both practical and visually appealing.
