Each project starts with an in-depth consultation with our client in order to understand each client’s vision, wishes and objectives. We talk about how you wish to utilise the landscape areas, your preferred style, amenities you desire as well as any problems that need to be resolved.
Site analysis and survey
After coming to a basic layout understanding, we conduct a site visit and anaylse various site conditions including soil composition, sun and shade patterns, elevation and slopes in order to ensure that the initial layout design is suitable to the landscape site.
Concept design development
After the initial consultation and site visits, we provide an agreed landscaping concept design plan which includes all of the discussed landscape amenities and elements.
Design development
As part of the design process we typically provide the following:
Layout plan – Basic drawing showing the initial concept ideas.
2D drawing – Drawing showing 2D (bird’s eye view) landscape design incorporating hardscape areas, planting areas, recommended elements such as water features, swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and artifacts and structures such as outdoor seating, gazebo, patio and pergola.
3D drawing – On request, we provide a 3D visualisation of the concept design drawing.
Moodboard – 2D drawing will be accompanied by a “mood board” which offers greater clarity on conceptual design, style, plant selection and material recommendations.
Master plan – Detailed AutoCAD plan of the landscape design. This will consist of detailed working drawings for all the hardscape and softscape elements including civil structural drawings, lighting, plumbing, irrigation and planting working plans.
Plant selection and planting plan
In our experience this is one of the most important aspects of practical and sustainable landscaping. The choice of plants suitable for each site is of utmost importance to avoid unnecessary future cost and easier maintenance.
Using our expertise and knowledge of each area including its location, soil composition, geography and weather, we advise on the selection of plants. Our aim is to combine aesthetics with practical considerations. At the end of this process, we provide a detailed plant selection list and planting plan showing the placement of each plant.
We also discuss with the client various options available for irrigation and easier maintenance of the landscape areas.
Selection of landscaping elements and amenities
We suggest different options for water features, outdoor lighting, artifacts and outdoor furniture which are suitable for each site and reflect each client’s individual preferences.
The market now contains a confusing variety of landscaping products. We use our experience to filter through what is available and we assist in the sourcing of each landscape element.
Our contractor manages the execution of each landscaping project to ensure it matches your vision. Our supervision and site visits ensure that the execution of each site matches your design expectation.
Time is critical to every client and we always ensure our projects are delivered within the deadline agreed with each of our clients.
