Onsite Landscape Design Consultations

What does a landscaping consultation include?

After evaluating your garden footprint, surroundings, microclimate and your family’s lifestyle needs,  you’ll walk away with clear and actionable guidance tailored to your property. We will cover:

• Plant selection and plant palette suggestions  

• Material suggestions

• Garden lighting suggestions

• Irrigation and drainage recommendations (if required)

• Advice on common but expensive mistakes

• Cost estimates

• Permit information

• Timeline estimates based on the works you need to have done

You’ll receive tailored advice and recommendations to build intentional, cohesive, and long-lasting outdoor zones that will draw you outside to connect and reset.

Your Garden, My Garden: Our landscaping consultation process

Step 1: Your Onsite Consultation

First, I’ll visit your property to evaluate not only the footprint of your garden but your surroundings, your specific microclimate, soil conditions, and so much more.

Step 2: Experience an Award-Winning Garden in Person

Next, you’re invited to view my own family garden in Mount Martha - winner of three Landscaping Victoria awards, including 2026 Landscape of the Year, 2026 Gold Winner for Softscaping in the Landscape, and 2025 Gold Winner for Feature in the Landscape.

Walking through the space allows you to see and feel firsthand what's possible for your own forward-thinking design. You'll experience how layering contour, texture, colour and fragrance can completely transform the way a garden feels. This isn't about replicating my garden at your place - every property and family is unique.
