Design & Planning

Paving, entertainment areas, pergolas, alfrescos, decking and design around pools — front yards and back, connecting the indoors of the house with the garden. We design sustainable gardens, heavily recommend native plants, and use recycled materials for carpentry. Domestic & commercial.

Service 01

How we do it

One coordinated team, a clear quote and a clear timeline — every design & planning job, domestic & commercial.

Consultation

Meet with Ed and our designer on site to talk through goals, ideas and everything specific to your garden. Consultations incur a fee; afterwards we send a quote to complete the design project.

Concept Plan

A design concept plan establishing layout, spatial flow and overall design direction — with three revisions covering plant selections, colour palette and material specifications.

Master Plan

Surveyors may be needed for elevations (we can recommend companies). Final plans compare current vs proposed, with measurements, elevations, a full plant schedule, side views and key specifications.

Common questions

Design & Planning FAQs

My house hasn't been built yet — can I still get a design?+

Yes — and we encourage it. Designing during the build phase lets us collaborate with your architect or building designer on indoor-outdoor flow, levels, drainage and access.

I have a pool — can you design around a new or existing pool?+

Yes, pools are a speciality. We design surrounds, decking and planting that tie the pool into the whole garden.

How long does the design process take?+

Typically 3–6 weeks, depending on the size of the project.

What's involved in the consultation?+

60–90 minutes on site (or online via video call) with one of our designers. We listen to your needs, walk the property — sun and shade, privacy, access, problem areas — then explore design directions from both a designer's and a builder's perspective.

Does the design consultation cost anything?+

Yes — a fee applies, depending on the size of your project. We'll confirm it before booking.
