Stages
Stage 1 : Initial Consultation
This consultation is generally on site unless you haven’t commenced construction yet. We will discuss your lifestyle, family composition budget and anything else that may influence the creation of a garden that is uniquely suited to your requirements. A detailed brief will be prepared and emailed to you after the meeting along with a written itemised estimate for the design fee.

If you decide to proceed to a full design, I request a deposit of $500 + GST to confirm your intention to proceed.
Stage 2: Design Concept
This is the preliminary stage of the design. I carry out a site evaluation based on plans provided. I add anything not shown on these plans and photograph the site, noting any potential views (good or bad) The street scape, identify existing trees to remain. I then prepare a design concept based on the brief, in colour at 1:100 scale. It will include a style guide indicating materials and colours. We will have a meeting in my studio to discuss the concept. Payment is required for this first stage of your design when you collect it. 3D visuals are available at an extra cost
