We start with a meeting, either on-site or online—whichever works best for you. This is an opportunity to explore your vision for the space and discuss your needs and desires. My goal is to design a garden that you and your family will love and that fits your lifestyle. The more you share, the better the outcome!

If you have any photos, images, or a Pinterest page, these can really help me understand your taste and style. While discussing your vision, we’ll also touch on budget. You don’t need an exact figure, but having a rough idea helps ensure we stay within your means.

If site plans are available, that’s great! If not, I will conduct a detailed site survey. For particularly steep or complex sites, we may need to engage a surveyor.

We will consolidate your ideas and create a minimum of three schematic concept plans. These will be presented for your consideration. While some clients find a concept they love immediately, most prefer to mix elements from different designs to create a final plan that truly reflects their vision..

Based on your feedback, I’ll refine the design into a final concept for your approval.
The final plan will then be detailed to include specifications for planting and materials, in preparation for construction and installation.

For the Design Services, for residential design our fees generally start from around $4500 plus GST

Depending on the scope of work required, design fee could range from between $2000 - $12000

Once we have an idea of the scope of works we will provide a quote for works.

Our projects span a wide financial spectrum, from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand. Many clients find themselves uncertain about budgeting and what to anticipate. There isn't a straightforward answer, as each project has unique requirements and considerations. We strive to assist individuals in achieving the best possible outcome with their available resources.

We are happy to provide quotes for our designs or other works upon request.

We are a small team. This helps us to maintain an eye for detail and ensure we deliver a quality product. It does mean that our lead times can be long as we usually only work on one job at a time. If you work with our construction team, we'll try to fit your project into your schedule. Once we begin, we stay until it's finished.

Our commitment to quality and individual attention allows us to create landscapes that are not only beautiful but also sustainable. We take pride in our approach, understanding that each project has unique requirements. By focusing on one job at a time, we ensure that every aspect of the work receives the care and attention it deserves.

If you’re considering a project with us, we encourage open communication to align on expectations and timelines. Our goal is to create a seamless experience from start to finish, resulting in a landscape that enhances your space.

Paul and his team will maintain an open dialogue with clients throughout the project. He will manage all day-to-day scheduling and oversee every aspect of the construction process. By choosing to design and construct with us, you will benefit from designer oversight on the entire project. This approach ensures that your vision is realized while allowing for clear communication and collaboration at every stage.

Mim will source quality plant material and oversee the placement and installation of the plants. This is often the most exciting phase of the project as it sees the vision start to become reality.

Sometimes, it’s the furniture, pots, BBQs, and accessories that can help to complete your project. The right elements can enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of your space. Whether you enjoy selecting these details or find it overwhelming, Green Living Landscapes is here to assist. If you would like support during this phase, we can provide a fee proposal tailored to source unique and stylish pieces that align with your vision.
