Tailored Landscape Design Concepts: Elevating Your Brisbane Outdoor Space with Personalised Precision
Phase 1: The Initial Meeting – Laying the Foundation On-Site
The journey to your bespoke landscape commences with an on-site initial meeting, a pivotal opportunity for us to immerse ourselves in your space and aspirations. Scheduled at a mutually convenient time.
During this 1–2 hour visit, we conduct a thorough walkthrough of your property, assessing topography, soil conditions, solar exposure, drainage patterns, and existing vegetation—critical factors in Brisbane's variable subtropical environment. As we explore, we engage deeply with you: What are your family's daily routines? How do you envision using the space—for entertaining, relaxation, or play?
This dialogue fosters trust and informs preliminary sketches or verbal recommendations. At the conclusion, you have two pathways forward:
-
Targeted Verbal Advice: For simpler queries, we can provide immediate, actionable insights—such as plant suitability or basic layout adjustments—directly on-site, allowing you to proceed independently if desired.
-
Full Design Engagement: If a comprehensive transformation is warranted, we transition seamlessly to our studio-based services, where your initial visit fee is credited toward the overall proposal.
Phase 2: Returning to Our Studio – Crafting Your Tailored Fee Proposal
Upon returning to our Brisbane studio, our garden designer bring together the on-site observations into a comprehensive fee proposal, typically delivered within 48–72 hours via email or in-person review. This document delineates the full scope of services, timelines, deliverables, and a transparent fee structure, benchmarked against industry standards for landscape architecture Brisbane.
Should you elect to proceed, the initial site visit fee is fully integrated into the package, demonstrating our investment in your project. If not, a straightforward invoice follows for the consultation alone, with no further obligation. This structure empowers informed decision-making, ensuring our partnership is rooted in mutual alignment and fiscal clarity.

Phase 3: Design Development – From Sketch to Concept
Upon receiving your approval, two experienced garden designers collaborate on your project brief. They incorporate diverse perspectives to ensure innovative and practical results. This dual-review process, standard in commercial practice, reduces biases and improves outcomes, based on our award-winning designs in Brisbane's suburbs.
The process proceeds iteratively:
-
Preliminary Sketching: Hand-drawn concepts outline spatial flow, focal points, and material selections.
-
Refinement to 2D Colour Concept: These develop into detailed colored plans at 1:100 scale, showing hardscapes, planting zones, and irrigation layouts. Optional photorealistic 3D perspectives simulate seasonal changes and lighting for a clear preview.
This phase typically lasts 2–4 weeks, including check-ins for your feedback and refinements.
Phase 4: Presentation and Approval – Bringing Your Vision to Life
We present the concept drawing in our Brisbane studio or virtually for clients in areas like Moreton Bay. This session provides context and inspiration for the design.
You receive a high-quality print of the 2D concept and a digital booklet detailing each plant selection, with images, botanical profiles, cultivation requirements (e.g., pH tolerances for Brisbane's clay soils), and maintenance schedules.
We discuss budget, timeline, usability, aesthetics, and functionality, allowing for adjustments. Upon your signed approval, we proceed to working drawings at 1:50 scale, including sections, elevations, and specifications for council approvals and contractor tenders. This step ensures alignment and prevents costly changes later.
