Custom Landscape Designs in Melbourne

Ready to have your garden work for you? Say goodbye to pesky problem spots and make the most of every part of your garden. Create a fun play area for your children, build in a meditation corner, or enjoy beautiful, low maintenance flower beds that will help you unwind after a busy day.

Our custom landscape designs personalise your Australian garden around YOUR needs, both now and into the future.

We turn your dream garden vision into a working landscape design plan tailored to the level of detail that suits you!

The landscape design process begins with an onsite consultation with our head designer, Parveen.  Our head designer, Parveen, will visit your home to help create a plan based on your needs and budget.

You can choose between four design consultation choices:

Except where otherwise indicated, to keep things safe for everyone during COVID-19, we prefer to conduct our consults over Facetime or Zoom. Online consults are available Australia wide.

For more details on the consultations on offer and for a comparison between them, please also refer to our fees and packages page for further information.

Our plans are designed to be tailored your needs, so you can pick and choose either one or a combination of our 3 Design Plans, based on your budget and needs:

• concept plans – resolves your layout choices;
• planting plans – resolves your plant choices; or
• landscape master plans – resolves both of the above design challenges and more.

If you’re excited about our landscape design ideas for transforming your outdoor space into your dream garden, the next step is to select a plan.

An affordable option for clients who need professional advice on how to make the most of their garden. This plan features general advice about how your garden could work from a layout perspective and does not go into specifying the exact detail of materials or plants to be used.

Includes:

• A 2D concept plan drawn to scale
• Proposed general layout options for your landscape, materials, and plants
• A final plan delivered after further consultation.

Once you’ve decided on a Concept Plan, you might want to invest in a detailed, scaled Landscape Design Master Plan to help you achieve your dream garden vision.

You’ll get to spend more time considering what your needs are – and we can adapt the plan to your changing needs or fresh inspiration (within the project budget, of course!).

We’ll dive deep into your garden vision, researching even the most minute details to deliver a comprehensive, professional landscape plan that will make construction and sourcing a breeze.

Please note: We can only provide plant and material recommendations once you’ve confirmed your preferences. Our recommendations will be subject to availability from the specialists involved in the project.

A Landscape Master Plan is tailored entirely to your own needs and preferences but could include:

• Detail for specific artwork
• Irrigation or lighting plans
• Accessories for outdoor styling
• 3D rendering
• Construction drawings

Optional Extras (for an additional fee):

• Stakeholder liaison

We can make enquiries on your behalf with the various parties involved in your garden makeover.

• Landscape Plans for Council Planning Permit Applications

These are usually required for submission to council to obtain a planning permit eg for the building of adjacent townhouses.  Our landscape plans do not apply a cookie cutter approach as is the norm with council submissions and we cater to our clients who want a customised approach as they intend to either live in or create rentals that are different from the rest of the market.

We work closely with a team of qualified arborists who will be able to produce arborial reports for council permit applications.

We know the costs of landscape design can quickly add up, so we try to keep them low. Our design packages include a maximum number of site visits. Additional site visits will incur additional costs.

If you don’t have measurements ready, we can visit to take them for you, if the visits occur within the relevant consultation period. Additional charges are applicable after the consultation time ends.

We love to keep things green! Wherever possible, we try to cut down on wastage by incorporating sustainable recycling options (such as reusing extant materials) into our design and construction solutions.

Before you cut lighting from your budget, think about how much it will extend your use and enjoyment of your outdoors!

Well-designed lighting (using quality fittings) catapults your dream garden into WOW territory. So we strongly believe in emphasising garden lighting as part of our landscape design process.

We’re here to try to get your garden as close to your dream vision as possible. That means we’ll suggest the materials that best meet your needs.

Beyond that, your construction team (or other specialists if involved) will discuss material specifications with you further and will provide a quote as part of the design implementation process.   It should be noted that the decision to accept the material selection lies with you as the client, after making an informed choice about it and performing your own research and corroborative inquiries.

We’ll present you your unique garden design in a 60-minute catch up. If required, we may provide a range of estimates for components in the project.

If you enjoy working with us, you can book us as project co-ordinators. We’ll get you a detailed quote for all project components – plus we’ll facilitate the construction of the project and source accessories, materials, and other important pieces of your project within agreed timelines.

As we all know, plants make or break your landscape design! We strongly recommend developing a Maintenance Guide to make the most of your latest outdoor investments.

For a nominal cost, we can provide you with a photo gallery, description, and Maintenance Guide for the plants you’ve selected.

Enquiries with Dial Before You Dig need to be made in two stages – in the design and construction phase. We’re happy to make the enquiry on your behalf during the design phase and will invoice accordingly.

It’s your responsibility to make an informed assessment as to whether any third-party assets exist on your property.

It’s the responsibility of the developer, builder, or landscaper to ensure that no underground connections are affected or damaged during any landscaping works.

The maintenance and care of all trees planted is the sole responsibility of the owner or occupants of the building or site.

In addition to other disclaimers disclosed here or elsewhere on this website (whether specifically described as such), we take no responsibility for any damage caused by trees that were selected and placed to meet the landscape design requirements of the relevant authority.
