    Front and back no, side to side is allowed though if that one is demolished...
    He's better off collecting all the positive cashflow out of it for a few years first though due to the land values in that suburb.

    @D.T. and @Corey Batt ... noted. That's a shame. Stick to single dwelling site then as you both indicate.

    Brick edge at exactly 45 degrees?
    That's masterclass best left for your Don Bourkes &Jamie what's his name the ex male stripper guy?
    Sleeper soldiers are similar but look good.

    Starting out go with a theme. Cottage , japanese, mediterranean,formal are some. Google cottage and get recommended plants design ideas.

    That way its not hodge podge in 5 years like alot of gardens.

    Depending on where you're located, some tips have mulch for free.
    Take out a load of crap, come back with free mulch.

    Bonus points if there's a rusting out VN Commodore water feature (busted water meter under the car body).

    That's why you need side access! More storage for car parts and pot plants

    @joel This is taken from google streetview of a place in same suburb as yours...

    Looks effective enough without being ugly and also very easy to maintain (since most tenants aren't very good at that).

    Cactus is a good choice! Drought tolerant!

    Is the job done yet??

    You look a lot tidier shaved @Corey Batt

    Magpies post made me rethink the drive, you could get free pavers or bricks from Gumtree, throw em down on a bed of sand.
    Personally I hate pavers etc, ants, weeds, sinking etc, I'm a ding at hart, concrete for me.

    Because I don't have photoshop, this is how I anticipate it will look. I'll begin the job tomorrow.
