Our Design Process

Connecting You to Your Garden

We specialise in curating outdoor spaces that are unique to each clients wants, needs and personalities. Whether you have dreams of transforming your bare section into a botanical wonderland to relax, entertain and laugh in with family and friends, or you are re-thinking your existing garden to grow with your young family, giving your children a space to safely play and explore the natural world in, or anything in between - we would love to help. We enjoy working with you to bring your dreams to life, and if you don’t quite know what you want yet - all the better! We work with you to tease these ideas out through the design process. We do design and installation throughout Auckland and lower Northland, but can work on designs further afield on request.

STEP ONE

Discovery

This is the phase when we get to know you, your lifestyle, your property and what you want out of your outdoor space. Together, we will work on the overall direction of the project, exploring your ideas and offering a lot of our own.

At the end of this phase, we will have a detailed project plan, taking into consideration all of your wants and needs, and a conceptual direction for the design.

Generally, this phase takes 2-3 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project.

STEP TWO

Design

This is where all of the imagination and ideas come to life and we get sketching. We start by producing a high level concept design which we refine together until we arrive at a final design that you love.

Depending on your needs and the project, a design package could include any of the following;

  • Concept Design
  • Detailed Final Design
  • Drawings & Layouts
  • Detailed Planting Plans -  including photos and descriptions or all proposed plants
  • Construction Drawings - for any structures such as drainage, lighting or retaining walls

This phase can take anywhere between 2 weeks to a number of months depending on the size and complexity of the project.

STEP THREE

Create

With the design phase complete, it's now time to get our hands dirty. We handle the entire building, installation and planting process. At the end of this phase, you have the finished article - an outdoor space that is uniquely YOURS to enjoy and cherish for years to come.

As with the design phase, the time the create phase takes varied depending on the size and complexity of the project.

STEP FOUR

Enjoy!

This is not strictly a phase of our design process, but it is certainly something we expect you to do in your beautiful new outdoor space. If you want us to continue to care for your garden, we can keep it pristine all year round with sporadic or on-going maintenance.

Costs

As each design project is tailored to your needs and property, the cost for each project varies. Costs are discussed throughout the Discovery phase and confirmed before moving into the Design phase.
