Landscape Concept + Masterplans  

We understand that every site, and every client’s wants and needs are as individual as they are, so we will tailor a landscape design package that suits the unique, specific qualities of your garden and the level of detail you need to create the garden of your dreams. Our process is guided by your lifestyle and vision, helping you create a garden that reflects how you want to live and enjoy your outdoor spaces. The package can range from a general concept design, to a highly detailed masterplan which may include detailed planting plans and materials schedules, lighting plans and 3D renders.

The design process typically includes;

  • We research any planning considerations and organise a site visit by the landscape designer to gather and document all relevant site-specific information such as aspect, topography, soil type & existing and surrounding vegetation. We discuss with you how you want to use your garden, your budget and your personal design preferences. Together this information will inform the brief and shape the design as it develops

  • We bring all this information together and start with the broader concept design which includes the general layout and feel of the new garden, with concept images included to create a moodboard of how the garden will look and feel

  • The design is refined and developed into the final drawing set which includes all the relevant detailed information, and may include a planting palette or planting plans and schedule, materials and hardscape schedule, set out plans, and 3D renders

Planting Plan

A planting plan maps out what plants go where in your garden design. The detailed plant schedule includes information such as plant species names, sizes and quantities required and the plant palette includes images of all the plants to be included in your garden

Swimming pool design + approvals

We love designing pools and we love the relaxed lifestyle that comes with them! We will work with you to design your dream pool with consideration for the design of the garden and site within which it sits.

Swimming pools require planning approval either through a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC). We will ensure your pool design complies with all relevant site-specific planning requirements and prepare a plan set ready to submit for the approval process.
