Our Services
Garden Design
Consultation
The first step in the design process - Carla will meet with you onsite for approximately an hour to discuss what your goals, ideas and style preferences are, as well as the budget you have for your project. This informs a detailed brief that is agreed on before moving to the design phase.
Concept and
Master Design
After the initial consultation, a concept brief, mood board and sketches are developed, addressing what you are looking for in your beautiful space. Carla builds on the sketches to create a detailed, master plan to scale including indicative plants and finishings. Irrigation, site levels, site access, microclimates, drainage and lighting are considered.
Planting Design
Plants are selected that suit your site orientation and microclimate/s to bring your landscape to life. The planting design and schedule outlines plant name, location, plant maturity / size for sourcing. Planting design can be a standalone service if you’re happy with your garden flow and hardscaping.
What our clients are saying
We've really enjoyed working with Carla on our garden. We have an overwhelmingly large backyard, and Carla has perfectly translated our brief into a usable, functional garden design. Carla presented us with two designs, and we fell in love with both at first sight but ultimately went with the more conservative one that we felt made the best use of our space. We also found Carla's excellent knowledge of plants very helpful, especially in balancing our requirement for beautiful colours/textures and low maintenance/sustainability. Carla is also an excellent communicator, and the process of working with her has been a delight. She presented us with a comprehensive plan, complete with planting guides, and we look forward to working on this plan in the coming months. Thank you Carla, for your vision and hard work!
Y&M, Ascot Vale, VIC
Not in our wildest dreams did we think we would have something like this and it’s all thanks to Carla. We contacted Carla with a vague idea of what we wanted for our back yard. We were so impressed with her work, we got Carla to plan our front garden as well. Carla not only listened to us, but incorporated little things like our favourite rose, and it was these little things that stood out for us. She has excellent communication skills and even when some plants were hard to source, she came up with other suggestions (that worked). We went from a total concrete backyard to a private green oasis, which we are so happy with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Carla to produce your dream oasis.
