We see the project through the whole process of design, tendering, construction and then growth/maintenance. We work with several trusted very experienced contractors and facilitate the whole construction phase. We do not manage construction for gardens we haven't designed.

No, we only offer construction to our design clients.

Concepts are usually delivered within 6-12 weeks depending on how busy the studio is.

Provided your garden doesn't require council permits to achieve, the design, tendering and construction phases can take as little as 8-12 months to complete. Some gardens take many years to complete when they are built in stages. Just imagine what your garden could look like, this time next year!

As soon as possible. For the best indoor outdoor flow, you need to consider the property as a whole or you will always be making compromises down the track.

Each block and brief is unique so speaking broadly, a landscaping budget of around 10-15% of the current property value (not including swimming pools or spas) is recommended. Some of our clients spend more than this when they are creating their forever-garden or creating a landscape of significance for future generations. A number of factors effect how much the landscaping with cost – the more hardscaping required (decks, patios, pergolas, retaining walls, paving, raised beds, paths, outdoor kitchens etc) the higher the landscaping budget will need to be, and naturally, the larger and more sloping the block, the more landscaping is generally required. We work through your budget early on in the briefing process to ensure your garden goals and budget are aligned.

Prices start at $4,500 for a front or back garden. Once we know your full brief and we've seen your property, we will match you to a package and create a fee proposal for your project.

As a ballpark allow 5-10% of your landscaping budget for design: For build budgets under 100K we recommend allowing 10% for design. Ie. If you're planning on spending $80K on your landscaping allow for around $8K for design. For build budgets over 100K we recommend allowing 5-10% for design. Ie. if you're planning on spending 200K on the landscaping, allow $10K + for the design process.

Yes! If you want to build the garden over time to save costs, having a solid plan can be invaluable in ensuring you don't waste time and money along the way. We design differently for a DIY construction, selecting different materials and layouts, to make it easier to achieve the intended result.

Generally no, this approach isn't cost effective so we tackle whole blocks, or large zones like a back or a front gardens.
