STAGE 1: Initial Consultation.

This is where we discuss concepts, style and your vision for the garden. We take into account your lifestyle, the type of garden you would like, maintenance requirements and your budget in a detailed design brief.

You are shown a comprehensive folio of pictures and inspiring design ideas to help you to visualise your new garden.

You are given a written estimate of the design fee.

Drafting fees are charged at $80 per hour.

Once the design fee has been approved, a $350 deposit is required to commence work upon a concept plan.

The site is thoroughly assessed, measured and digital images taken to assist with the design process.

Plans range from simple planting plans to comprehensive structural designs; including contractor notes on hard landscaping detail, plant care and soil requirements.

Note: design fee estimates may vary if extensive changes are required after concept plan is presented. (please refer to STAGE 2.)

Fee: $140 per hour, 2 hour minimum for consultation plus $350 plan deposit to commence drafting of concept plan.

Payment by cash or cheque at consultation.

STAGE 2: Presentation of concept plan/layout.

A concept layout plan is emailed/posted to you a few weeks after the initial consultation. Amendments are made if necessary. Structural/hard landscaping materials and plantings are discussed in more detail in preparation for the final design.

At a time convenient to you, we discuss changes/additions/amendments and feedback to your design. This may be via phone, email or in person.

Fee: onsite meeting $140 per hour. Phone/email meeting: $80 per hour.

Throughout the design process, we will liaise closely with you as your design is being formulated and drawing has commenced. Delivery of plans usually takes from 3-6 weeks, depending on complexity of design and current workload.
