Garden Consultation

A garden design consultation is the first part of a complete garden design, and also offers excellent value as a standalone service.

Starting from $275 + GST


If you’re ready to invest in your garden, but at a bit of a loss as to where to begin, then I recommend starting with a garden design consultation.

During a consultation, we can cover a lot of ground.

I can make recommendations based on your lifestyle, your preferences, your budget and more.

We’ll explore what your garden already has to offer as well as initially assess any problem areas that you may have.

We’ll also put your garden in the context of the rest of your home and talk about getting you on your way to creating a beautiful, functional outdoor space.

Maybe you’ve recently moved into a new home and want to make it your own. 

Or, you’re looking to make your garden easier to maintain and a more enjoyable place to be…

A garden design consultation is probably right for you if…

  • You feel like your garden isn’t fulfilling its potential and/or purpose

  • You’re motivated, but not sure what to prioritise

  • You want clarity around what’s achievable within your budget

  • You’re not sure what to plant where

  • You’re thinking about investing in your garden, but you’re reluctant to hand over thousands to a random landscaper without some kind of plan

  • Before

    I’ll send you a questionnaire to complete beforehand. This will help me to get a sense of your desires, preferences and needs. And, it will make sure that our meeting is as productive as possible!

  • During

    This is you, me and your garden. During this discussion we’ll dive deeper and assess the potential of your property. You’ll likely receive on-the-spot advice that you can apply straight away.

  • After

    You’ll receive notes from me detailing our discussion along with my feedback and suggestions. You’ll take what we’ve talked about and run with it; or we’ll head into the design phase together.

During a garden design consultation we may talk about…

  • Problem areas that you’ve already identified (and other issues that you might not have noticed)

  • Which types of plants, trees, etc are appropriate for your property

  • Any questions you may have about taking care of what’s already in your garden

  • Your budget and timeframes

  • Other opportunities and suggestions

“From the initial on-site meeting I was impressed with Sam‘s professionalism and his attention to detail. He listened to what I wanted to achieve and offered constructive ideas to enable this… I highly recommend Sam to anybody wanting to work with a design and landscaping service that is professional, extremely well priced and delivers a coordinated and professional result”
