Full Process Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Initial Inquiry

Ready to get started? Just fill out the form on our contact page, and we'll get back to you right away. We're happy to answer any questions you have over the phone or arrange a time to come by and visit your property.

Let’s Get Started

Step 2: Consultation + Site Visit = Free of Charge

We’ll come to your property free of charge to assess the project, discuss your ideas, and work out how to fit all your must-haves into your budget.

Dreaming of a new patio? A space for the kids to kick a ball around? An outdoor kitchen for entertaining? Or maybe a brand new driveway? Whatever your wishlist, this is the stage to share it all—there is no such thing as too much information at this stage of the process.

By the end of the visit, we’ll determine whether your project needs detailed landscape design drawings or just a clear, itemised budget and work schedule.

Step 3: Design Finalisation

It’s so much easier (and cheaper) to change your mind on paper before work begins. We undertake a thorough site analysis and use our landscaping expertise to come up with creative solutions that brings your vision to life and makes the most of your space.

We'll talk through all the details together. You’ll see different options and ways to combine elements, helping you decide exactly what will work best for your garden. As we chat, ideas evolve naturally—one suggestion leads to another, and before you know it, all your ideas are transforming into your perfect garden space.

The result is a clear, well-thought-out roadmap for your landscaping project—something you can get excited about and feel confident in. We love it when clients share their enthusiasm with us—it makes the whole process even more fun!

Step 4: Budget Approval

Our estimates are very accurate and won’t change unless you decide to add or remove something from the project. We like to finalise the budget early on so you know exactly what costs to expect.

Breaking the costs down into a clear, itemized budget also gives you the flexibility to phase the work if doing everything at once feels like too much. Having a well-thought-out plan in place means that whenever you complete each stage, the end result will feel cohesive and intentional—not like a patchwork of ideas.

During this phase, we’ll show you examples of plants, hardscape materials, and features from brochures and online sources. Seeing these examples side by side makes it much easier to make confident choices and visualise how your finished garden will come together.

Step 5: Meet Our Team

Your project is brought to life by a skilled, experienced team who put care and attention into every element of your landscape. All of our employees wear company uniforms, our trucks and equipment are new, clean and well-maintained, and we always leave your property neat and tidy at the end of each day.

From your first consultation right through to completion, you’ll work with a single dedicated crew and a single project manager who’s on site every day. They’re focused entirely on your project—no hopping between jobs—so we can be responsive, accountable, and flexible.

Unlike other contractors who might start a project and then disappear, once we begin, we stay fully engaged until everything is done. We’re passionate about landscaping, and it shows in the care and enthusiasm our team brings to every project.

Step 6: Installation

We've got it from here. This is where your dream garden starts coming to life! Over the next few weeks, our team will turn your ideas into reality.

Of course, in this world, sometimes things don’t always go exactly to plan—patio slabs might get delivered in the wrong colour, the wrong trees arrive for planting, you change your mind and suddenly hate the position of the pergola.... no worries.... you name it, we've dealt with it! Because we take full responsibility for your project, we can handle any surprises quickly, effectively, and personally, so you can relax and watch your garden take shape.

Step 7: Maintenance

Once your new landscape is complete—sweet success!—we offer a range of maintenance services to keep your outdoor investment looking its best.

Regular care is key to keeping your garden healthy, beautiful, and functional. From watering and pruning to fertilising, we make sure your plants thrive and receive the proper care so that the integrity of the landscape is not compromised over time. Maintenance also helps prevent common issues like weeds, disease, or soil erosion problems, and allows for small adjustments as your garden grows and evolves. We also offer hardscaping maintenance such as pressure washing, chemical algae removal and timber treatment to keep everything in tip-top shape.

With ongoing care, your investment is protected, and your garden will continue to be a space you love and enjoy for years to come.
