Landscape Design
A great garden does not happen by accident.
The most successful outdoor spaces begin with thoughtful landscape design. Good design considers far more than where plants, paving and a pool should go. It brings together architecture, lifestyle, proportion, materials, planting and functionality to create an outdoor environment that feels considered, cohesive and effortless.
At Scott Bartho Landscape Design, we believe the quality of the finished garden is largely determined before construction even begins.
1. 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.
- Meeting online face-to-face is the most effective way to understand your unique landscape challenges.
- We will discuss our design process and approach as well as gather an understanding of your needs.
2. Initial Consultation (on-site)
- Meeting on site helps us discuss site specific information. By visiting the site, we can customise a solution especially for you.
- Generally, some topics to consider for discussion would include; entertainment, shade, decking, lawn areas, formal or informal style, low or high maintenance, types of plants, images you've found which you would like to see in your own space, likes/dislikes and construction budget.
3. Site Measure
- Upon acceptance of our fee proposal we will arrange to visit your 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.
- Once the site analysis has been completed, we can then start to develop your landscape concept design.
4. Concept Design and Design Development
- Generally, a concept design will take 4 weeks to complete (time between site measure and presentation).
- At this meeting you will have an opportunity to add extra input into the design and give feedback on the ideas presented.
- 2 rounds of complimentary changes to the concept design included in our package.
5. Construction Drawings
Once the concept design has been finalised the next stage is to take the design further and produce construction drawings, specifications and schedules of finishes. Constructon drawings generally consist of the following:
- A 2D scale drawing of your garden with annotations of certain elements in the garden.
- A technical plan outlining materials, levels and drainage.
- Section elevations of key areas of the garden.
- An irrigation and garden lighting plan.
- A planting plan and plant schedule.
- 3D renders and a walk-through video of your garden.
6. Construction Costings
Once the construction drawings have been finalised, they will be sent to our network of high quality contractors for tendering.
Scott Bartho will personally evaluate the tender submissions and provide feedback to you.
During the construction phase we regularly visit the site to ensure a high quality garden is being constructed and that the integrity of the design is being maintained.
Maintenance contractors recommended to nurture the garden through to establishment and beyond.
