DESIGN PROCESS

DESIGN CONSULTATION

Meet with our design team face to face or online to discuss your ideas and requirements for your garden. Following the consultation, we will provide you with a quotation to complete the design. After your consultation, the team will send a design fee proposal. This will outline the costs for producing your garden concept, including sketches and masterplan; this does not include any construction costs.

This consultation takes between 1-2 hours. The fee for an on site consultation is $250 inc GST.

CONCEPT DESIGN

Once the fee is accepted the Green Door team will explore hand sketched options and alternatives of your garden and then create a scaled concept plan that shows plant images, schedule and material choices.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Upon approval of the concept design, we develop your design to include plant species, furniture, hard surfaces and materials etc.

CONSTRUCTION DRAWING PACKAGE

For more detailed projects, we prepare construction drawing packages including detailed schedules and design specifications.

LANDSCAPING COORDINATION

We do not provide hard landscaping services ourselves, but can recommend trusted landscaping contractors we have worked with before you help bring your design to life.

You are welcome to engage a landscaper directly yourself, or if required you can engage Green Door to oversee this process to ensure everything goes smoothly and according to plan.

HORTICULTURAL CONSULTATION  

Do you have a section of your garden where nothing seems to grow? Are you constantly replacing plants that don’t survive or struggling to find the right ones for your space?

At Green Door Landscape Design, our expert horticulturist-led Plant List Consultation takes the guesswork out of choosing plants, ensuring you get the right selection for your garden conditions

This is for clients who have an existing garden which is well designed but has some gaps or areas of inappropriate planting. You may require seasonal planting or just like something new and fresh. 

Many homeowners struggle with plant selection because every garden is unique. Soil type, light exposure, drainage, and climate all play a role in whether a plant will flourish. Instead of wasting time and money on trial and error, we help you get it right the first time.

Step 1: The Plant List Consultation

This is the starting point for any garden refresh. If you’re unsure what to plant, where to plant it, or why some plants aren’t working, this service will give you clarity.

● Expert horticulturist assessment – What’s growing, what’s struggling, and why?

● Custom plant list – A selection of plants suited to your garden’s conditions, design preferences, and maintenance level.

● Plant placement guidance – Where to plant for the best growth and long-term success.

Buy your own plants! You can choose to source and plant yourself or add on further design and implementation services.

Cost: $1000

Step 2 (Optional): Add-On Services to Enhance Your Garden

Once you have your tailored Plant List, you may want additional support. We offer:

● Plant Supply & Delivery – We source high-quality plants for you, ensuring they arrive healthy and ready to thrive.

● Small-Scale Garden Refresh – Need more than just a plant list? We can rework sections of your garden for a cohesive look.

● Detailed Planting Plans – If you’d like a clear, professional planting guide, we can create a scaled layout with plant positions, spacing, and care notes.

● Full Garden Design – If a bigger transformation is needed, we offer comprehensive landscape design services.
