Frequently asked questions, we're here to help.

The short answer is Yes.

We think of design and construction as separate services.

Therefore, if we've designed your garden, you're under no obligation to go with us for construction. Alternatively, if you've already have a design, we're more than happy to just do the construction for you. 

Please note if you provide us with your own design, it does need to have been completed by a professional and to a certain standard.

We always endeavor to deliver our landscape designs as efficiently as possible. However, it is really important that we don't rush the process so that we get it right, as there is a number of important components which will build the foundations of your entire project.

From the point that we come out to site and take measurements for your design and do site analysis, we aim to have your landscape design completed within six to eight weeks.

It is difficult to give an exact figure until we've seen the property and discussed what element you want to include in your design. Landscape design consists of a few steps, and it does have a lot of variables to consider when pricing comes into play, like the size of the property, for instance.

We do like to be transparent, so to provide you with a rough guide on our design packages, which include 3D renders and 3D fly-throughs, a general starting price for a residential-sized property is $6,000 plus GST. However, once we're able to visit with you onsite and see exactly what you want to achieve with your garden, we can then give you an exact figure for the design fee.

Unfortunately, we only undertake projects that have a landscape design.

We find that having a design in place reduces the chance of any miscommunication about what's being built, and we need something to give our team, so they know exactly what they're building down to the finest detail.

Our design process consists of a few steps undertaken in the right order for the best design outcome.

Step 1. in our process is a Zoom call. One of our experienced team members will meet with you for a 10-minute Zoom call to discuss your landscape and the services we can provide.

Step 2. is an onsite consultation. Meeting face-to-face on site is the most effective way to understand your unique landscape challenges. By visiting the site, we can customize a solution especially for you.

Step 3. is a site visit. Upon accepting our fee proposal, we will arrange to visit the site for a second time to undertake site analysis, including photos, measurements, and topography of the site. This information is crucial in understanding the functionality of the site.

Step 4. is the final step, the landscape design presentation. At this meeting, you'll have the opportunity to add extra input into the design and give feedback on the ideas presented.

Some clients have asked us in the past, "What if I don't like your landscape design?"

Our design process has been refined over the years so that we interpret our client's needs without any ambiguity. Before we design anything, we have an on-site consultation meeting with you, which generally lasts 40 to 60 minutes. At this meeting, we gather as much information as we possibly can to obtain a thorough understanding of what you want to achieve in your garden space.

We ask questions like what plants you like and what plants you don't like, which is sometimes more important. We wanna find out about your style, your preferences when it comes to finishes, and how you want the garden to make you feel.

Our job is to leave this meeting with a clear picture of what you want from your garden so that all we have to do is configure the best possible arrangement for the garden to be functional and aesthetically beautiful. We also include two rounds of complimentary changes to the design in our design packages to allow for minor refinements of the landscape design.

Ultimately, we want to get the design perfect for you and find that 2 rounds of changes is usually more than enough.

There's two ways to approach a landscape design.

The first approach, and the preferred approach, is for us to come and see you on site and obtain an in-depth, thorough understanding of what you're trying to achieve with your space. Then we can design your dream garden, taking into account all that you want included in the space. We can then quote construction once the design's done, see where the pricing lands, and work backwards with you, if needed, to reach a number that you're happy with. This approach doesn't leave you wondering, "What if?"

The second approach is to agree on a, on a number and to design accordingly, not exceeding your budget. Clients in the past have been left feeling underwhelmed or wondering what could be achieved for just a little bit more budget, and then we kind of end up bolting kind of extra things on, and it doesn't, the design doesn't sort of get thought about as a whole.

Ultimately, budget is very important and something we do 

Yes. We use realistic 3D visualisations to help clients fully understand the proposed design before construction begins.

Our work is typically modern, architectural, and highly considered, with a focus on timeless design, materiality, and strong connection between home and landscape.
