Design Process

Getting Started

Landscape Designer or Landscaper?

Your first port of call is always a landscape designer. A landscape designer is the outdoor equivalent to the architect or building designer for your home. If you are building or renovating, consider your garden as an integral part of your overall house/site design. Make your house look like ‘IT’ has been planted in the garden by starting the design process as early as possible.

A lovely garden adds between 10 and 20% to the overall value of your property so it is wise to have a realistic budget in place for the installation of your landscape

Stages

Stage 1 : Initial Consultation

This consultation is generally on site unless you haven’t commenced construction yet. We will discuss your lifestyle, family composition budget and anything else that may influence the creation of a garden that is uniquely suited to your requirements.  A detailed brief will be prepared and emailed to you after the meeting along with a written itemised estimate for the design fee.

Fee: 400 + GST (In studio) $450 + GST (On site) Metro area only

If you decide to proceed to a full design, I request a deposit of $500 + GST to confirm your intention to proceed.
