Consultation & Design Process

 

Think Green Landscapes offer a comprehensive  garden and landscape design service. We  break down the design process into several stages to keep you involved in the process and ensure all your needs are being addressed.

Our design philosophy is to create a waterwise and practical garden plan specifically designed to suit you and your needs. We strive to to create an always-interesting garden that changes through the seasons with deciduous trees, vibrant foliage and seasonal flowering.

Stage 1 - Initial Onsite Consultation Meeting- One Hour $75
(Extra time $75/hour if requested)

In the first meeting the designer will visit you at your property and talk with you about your ideas and desired outcomes. This is a brainstorming session with a lot of questions, sharing of ideas and listening to your needs.

A copy of your site plan is handy in this meeting so that the designer can get a good feel for the size and spatial dimensions of your home and block layout.

Factors such as functionality, views, building style, aspect, personal preferences, constraints, opportunities and budget will all be considered to develop your design needs. If you have pictures from magazines or books showing a style of garden and the type of things that you like please bring them along.

A quote for the cost of a full design package will be supplied by email usually within 24hrs of the initial meeting. This usually ranges between $500-1500 (Including Notes and Rough Concept Plan) depending on your requirements and the size of your project.


Stage 2 - Notes and Rough Concept Plan $150

After the initial meeting, we can provide a roughly sketched concept plan (not necessarily to scale) with notes and recommendations based on your requirements as discussed. This will give you an overall view of how your garden could be laid out, but will not include specific planting or materials information.

To provide a more accurate concept sketch, a copy your current site plan/survey can be used to illustrate the concepts and ideas discussed in the meeting. A site plan will also help to reduce the cost of the final design as otherwise a comprehensive site measure-up will usually be required.

Usually this can be completed within a week of receiving a site plan.


Stage 3 - Full Landscape Design

The landscape design package includes:

- Plan drawings at 1:100 scale (or larger) suitable to use to install the garden
- Detailed planting plan
- Plant profile sheets
- Recommendations for construction materials
- Construction detail drawings where required.

The plan will generally be suitable for submission to your local council (if required) though structural engineers approval and/or drawings may also be required for some structural elements like retaining walls, pergolas etc.



All prices include GST

Think Green Landscapes mostly design and build their own landscapes in-house.  We will also install gardens designed by others. Below are some other designers that we have worked with before.
