  1. Free Consultation

    At the consultation, we discuss feasible design options and potential aesthetics, that reflect your taste and preferences. During the consultation, I will be happy to answer any questions. We enjoy an active dialogue about the design.

  2. Rendered design

    After a consultation, a design can be produced and rendered for between $600 - $1000, depending on the project, for simpler jobs, many clients are happy to work with basic sketches and save the design fee for garden work.

  3. Design review / Integrated Design.

    After the design is presented, we discuss any concerns and make any appropriate changes. If you are installing a greywater system, the system is often designed around the plants that you have chosen, which is why we go into a good level of detail. This is also the opportunity to view samples of materials such as paving and stone for the build and adjust as appropriate.

  4. Demolition

    Preparing the site often involves removing concrete, old pavers, long hated garden ornaments and features. Dying plants, or rampaging hedges, whatever it is we can remove it.

  5. Installation.

    Each process is slightly varied depending on the project, but a typical install runs as follows

    -Build -retaining walls/French drains/ paving

    -Planting

    -Irrigation design and installation

    -Lighting design and installation

    -maintenance plan

  6. Maintenance plan

    We build our gardens to last and grow in beauty, but if we know that there are certain plants that will need pruning maintaining or checking on while they settle- we will recommend both short-term and long-term maintenance plans
