OUR UNIQUE PROCESS

Although we tend to price projects on a case by case basis, this is a guide to the services and project packages we offer to our clients.

Consultation

The design of your landscpe begins with an initial meeting onsite. 　In this 1hr consultation we together establish the initial brief by understanding your aesthetic, functional and budgetary requirements. 　　Following the consultation a Design Proposal is forwarded which outlines the fee to develop a custom design package to suit your needs.

DESIGN

The process works in four stages and clients can chose how many stages they want to proceed with:

1.CONCEPT PLAN

An overall plan of the garden, images of the key landscape design elements, sample images of hardscape materials, and planting palette image board provide clients with a visual image of the new garden. Prices start at $720.00 + GST

2.PLANTING PLAN

A detailed planting plan is produced for the garden, with accompanying plant schedule.

3.CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

Detailed plans are now developed for the structural elements (pergola, pools, outdoor kitchens, lighting, etc.). And a detailed schedule of works produced ready for pricing.

4.CONSTRUCTION QUOTATION

When drawings are complete the finished design will be put out to tender to 3 local landscape contractors best suited to your job. 　The 3 prices will then be reviewed and a recommendation will be made to the client.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management, contract management, on site supevision and quality control of landscape projects is also available to clients. Ensuring projects are finished ontime and on budget.
