We start with a consultation…

After the initial consultation, we create three unique concepts to suit our client’s property, based on their preferences. These design concepts are basic, and we think of them as ‘pathways’. If one of the designs stands out, we will pursue that option further, adding details and refining the concept until it is “just right”. Once a concept has been selected, three major changes are possible at no extra charge (for example, changing a proposed garden bed to a decorative pebble area). Further refinements are welcome, however they are usually not necessary. If further refinements are required, the work to update the plans and drawings is charged at a rate of $65 per hour + gst. 

These three initial concepts are comprised of:

A landscaping plan, which is a site plan with a planting guide overlayed. This will give you an idea of plant types and their locations

A guide to the plants in the design, with photographs and botanical names for clarity

Illustrations of the main areas of the garden, to help you visualise the proposal

Once the design is complete, it is yours to keep. Some clients purchase and plant the plants themselves according to the design. We are, of course, happy to undertake installation, which is a seperate quote.
