If you feel we are the right foot for you, we will email you a design proposal shortly after the meeting for your master plan.
Our projects are based in the Melbourne Metro and Mornington Peninsula areas. We can offer a design service outside of these areas but do not landscape that far, although we can help you source a suitable landscaper should you need one.
If your design is detailed sufficiently, we can provide a landscape quotation to you. Just email us the design and we can start with an initial estimate to determine the budget sits where you would like it.

Our approach is to dream first and include all you desire in your Concept Design, then using this design, do a high-level costing. If the budget is too high, a discussion is had on how to modify the design to bring it back in budget. If you'd like to have an idea of what your project may cost before engaging us for a design, we recommend you download our Cost Guide and this will help you set a realistic ballpark.
