Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our landscape design and construction services.
What is the landscape design process?
expand_more
Our process begins with an on-site consultation where we assess your property and discuss your vision. We then develop concept plans, refine the design with your feedback, create detailed planting and construction documentation, and finally manage the construction phase to ensure design fidelity.
Does landscaping a steep block cost more?
expand_more
Steep blocks typically require additional engineering, structural elements like retaining walls, and more complex construction access. While costs are generally higher than flat sites, our expertise in difficult terrain means we find efficient solutions that maximise value.
How long does a landscape project take?
expand_more
Design typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. Construction timelines vary from 2-3 weeks for simple projects to 3-6 months for comprehensive transformations. We provide detailed timelines during the quotation process.
Do you use native Australian plants?
expand_more
We specialise in native and drought-tolerant plants suited to Victorian conditions. Our planting designs often combine indigenous species with hardy exotics that thrive in Melbourne's climate, creating gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Do you handle council permits?
expand_more
Yes, we prepare all necessary documentation for council applications including planning permits, building permits for structures, and tree removal permits where required. Our construction documentation meets council requirements for approval.
