Big or small, your perfect garden starts here. 

At GardenSpace, we see your landscape as an integral part of the living spaces of your home. Our process is deliberately structured. To achieve this I collaborate closely with you through a number of design stages to shape your outdoor spaces.

By moving through a series of design stages together, I come to understand not just how you’ll use your garden, but how you want to feel in it. It’s a quiet dialogue—shaping a space that weaves beauty into the rhythm of your everyday life.

This approach is suited to clients who value clarity, professional guidance and a considered approach, and who understand that exceptional outcomes come from early planning, not late decisions.

Design: I will guide you through clear sequence of design stages—refining and evolving the design at each stage. Before we begin, you’ll receive a clear, fixed-price fee proposal for the full scope of the landscape design services, so there are no surprises along the way.

Step 1 of the Design Process: a design proposal process reflecting an initial meeting, consultation report, sketch plan, and review for a full fee proposal.
Step 2 of the Design Process: the Design Development stage, moving from schematic plans to initial detailed CAD drawings for the preferred garden design.
Step 3 of the Design Process: Preliminary Construction Detail plans including overall layout, setout details, specifications, quantities, materials, and other general details.
Step 4 of the Design Process: Final Construction Detail plans being the final design package of plans and specifications for obtaining construction pricing, and for works.

Project Delivery: Design excellence only matters if it is delivered well. GardenSpace remains actively involved during construction to protect the design intent and support a high-quality outcome.

Step 5 moves to the Construction Process: this stage provides assistance for construction contractor procurement by issuing plans, reviewing costs, and finalizing the works contract with the preferred contractor.
Step 6 is the main Construction Process: GardenSpace provides Support and Oversight to the clients and contractors during the works period, and at completion can provide maintenance options.

“The best landscapes are those that tell a story, where every element has a purpose and contributes to the narrative of the place.” - Richard Weller
