The Process

On Site Consult 

We meet on site where I listen to your ideas & vision for your property and discover its unique features.

 

The Proposal 

You’ll receive an emailed document detailing your brief, clarifying your priorities and wishes.

Included is a design and pricing schedule which clarifies the steps involved and package options.

The Concept Design - the first design phase

Most sites will need a site survey. If you don’t have one, I can arrange it for you. For smaller blocks, measurements may be taken in-house.

Careful attention is devoted to crafting a comfortably functional space that brings joy and usability into your garden.

 

The design process also encompasses the following:

•      Understanding council and planning regulations in relation to your block.

•      BYDA search to know where services are.

•      An in-depth site analysis to understand all the elements within and those impacting your site.

•      Explore design opportunities, understanding any site constraints.

•      Evaluating the local environment and its unique spirit of place.

•      Considering all the possible design solutions for your site.

 

We meet to discuss the Concept design to visually explain the design intent. Amendments can be made at this stage before detailed digital design commences.

 

Masterplans – the second design phase

 

Detailed 2D Vectorworks plans are drawn up, to scale, which include Hardscape Plans, Planting Plans and Schedules, Notes on detailed site criteria, Materials Plans and relevant elevations.

3D imagery is presented at this stage if you’d like these perspectives included in your package.

​

Project Development ​

​

Once the landscape design is approved, recommended contractors are offered, or you may engage your preferred landscapers/contractors.

Plant procurement & delivery, placement, and installation are coordinated between the designer and landscaper.
 

Detailed construction documents can be prepared for particular design elements.

Contractors will meet the designer onsite for a walkthrough of the plans to facilitate accurate quoting.

​

Onsite consultations are offered between the designer and contractors during construction to ensure a smooth process, essential for maintaining design intent & quality, with the designer available to address any questions.

 

Ongoing maintenance contractors can also be arranged or if being hands on to establish your garden suits you...enjoy!
