Is it grammatically correct to put "necessary" at the end of the sentence? I would understand if it was "necessary actual hard work".

Yes, it is grammatically correct in this case to put "necessary" at the end of the sentence. You can also place "necessary" right in front of "hard work" to say "actual necessary hard work", or in front of "actual" to say "necessary actual hard work". "Necessary" is an adjective that is used to describe "hard work" in this sentence. In some cases, adjectives can be placed at the end of a sentence, especially if there is a secondary adjective used to describe the same noun. In this sentence, both "necessary" and "actual" are adjectives describing "hard work", and so it makes sense to place "necessary" at the end of the sentence.
