Our Process
We take an open and honest approach to ensure your project is carefully considered, aligning with your ideal lifestyle and budget. We focus on creating a space that is multifunctional, with flow and connectivity, while ensuring it’s beautifully designed and executed just as planned. Here is a simple breakdown of each service we provide, with the process step by step, to guide you through every phase.
Landscape Concept Design
What to Expect
A landscape concept plan is a preliminary design document that outlines the vision and layout for a landscape project. It serves as a guide for the project's shapes and forms, highlighting key features, how spaces are organised with flow and connectivity, and the overarching style or theme. While it does not include detailed construction specifications, a landscape concept plan is an essential step for clients and designers to align on the project's goals and style before moving to detailed specifications or approval documentations. The design package includes: Site Analysis: Understanding the conditions and context of the space. Mood Boards & Inspiration: Visual aids to communicate the desired aesthetic and style. 2D Design Plan at Scale: A detailed layout of the proposed design. Materials Specifications: Recommendations for finishes, textures, and materials. Planting Plan & Schedule: Suggestions for plant types, quantities, and placement. Maintenance Manual: A tailored guide on how to care for the plants, maintain hardscapes, and keep the landscape looking its best over time. Optional Add-ons: Lighting Concept Plan: A design for ambient and functional outdoor lighting. Irrigation Concept Plan: Solutions for efficient water management. Elevations: Detailed drawings showing the vertical elements of the design. 3D Render: Visualisations to bring the design to life.
01
Clarity Meeting
We start with a 30-minute clarity call via video, where we discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. During this call, we explain how we would collaborate and provide an estimated fee for the design. This session is designed to give you clarity and confidence in deciding if we are the right fit for your project. After the call, we’ll send you an email requesting the necessary documentation and payment to proceed to the next stage.
02
Site Consultation
On-site consultations are a key part of the process, and we offer two approaches: an in-person visit or a virtual video call. This stage focuses on understanding your vision for outdoor living while addressing any site-specific challenges. We also gather detailed project information, including soil pH testing, to ensure a strong foundation for your landscape design.
03
First Presentation
We’re thrilled to share the draft layout for your outdoor space, complete with material samples and mood board inspirations. During this session, we’ll discuss the practical aspects of the project, including application, installation, and ongoing maintenance, ensuring we’re fully aligned before finalising the design. This is often the most exciting and collaborative part of the process.
04
Final Concept
After gathering your feedback from the first presentation, we refine the design to create the final concept. Typically, we complete this phase with one revision to ensure everything aligns with your vision. You’ll receive both digital and hard copies of the final plans, marking the conclusion of the concept design phase. When you're ready to proceed, we can seamlessly transition to the next steps—whether that involves preparing documentation for council approvals, creating detailed construction drawings for tender, or beginning project management to bring the design to life.
