Our Services
Garden Design
Consultation
The first step in the design process - we meet 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.
Specialised garden maintenance is also part of the Garden Design Consultation phase. If you have a mature garden and you’re looking to create flow, privacy or change areas, the design consultation is a great start!
Concept and
Master Design
After the initial design 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!

“I love – love – love this. I love the plant selection. I love the colours. I love the local indigenous ferns alongside hardy perennials. The planting design absolutely matches the brief – because you listen! Thanks, Carla, for bringing this to life.
