WHAT TO EXPECT

During our consultation, we’ll take a tour of your existing landscape and discuss your requirements and objectives.

My goal is to bring your vision for your outdoor space to life, so understanding your personal style and preferences is important. This is a detailed working session which you may find quite overwhelming – as we cover A LOT of information in the allocated time slot. So we will email the key information that we cover to you after our meeting and as impossible as this may sound, you will walk away with a clear vision of your new outdoor space.

HOW TO PREPARE

To get the most out of the consultation time frame, please have the following ready on the day, digital or hard copy is fine.

  • A3 Site Plan or 1:100 plan of the area that requires landscaping
  • Images or video of the areas that require landscaping
  • Your Wish list
  • Inspo images.

Photographs are a great way to give us a sense of what you want to achieve. Magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens are a good source for this.

Online, Pinterest and Houzz are two of the best sources for landscape design inspiration. If you’re a pinner, prepare a Pinterest board to show on the day. (10 images as a maximum as you don’t want to overwhelm yourself before we even begin)

THINGS TO CONSIDER

If you can come prepared with answers to these questions, it will help us create a design that fits your style, needs and budget.

Do you have any specific goals for your space?

Improving access in the front, creating an entertainment space in the back, screening neighbours etc.

Do you have a specific style in mind?

Mediterranean, native garden, contemporary, coastal etc. ??

If you aren’t sure how to answer this question, take some time to think about your personal style that you use (or would like to use) indoors – this can provide some insight for your landscape design.

Is there functionality you want to include?

Play area, barbecue island, vegetable garden, nature play etc.?

What is your budget?

This question is often hard to answer – if you’ve never renovated a landscape before, you may not know where to start.

New landscape installations range dramatically in price, so understanding your budget will help us provide better design advice. At a minimum, determine some budget parameters, such as less than $30,000, $25,000-$50,000, $100,000- $125,000 and so on.
