LANDSCAPE DESIGN PROCESS
1. CONSULTATION
This stage of the process involves meeting with you and discussing your desires and requirements for your garden. Once we have an understanding of your design and function preferences and the scope of the project is established, a proposal including design fee is compiled and presented for your consideration.
2. DESIGN DOCUMENTATION
2.1 LANDSCAPE CONCEPT DESIGN
Upon your acceptance of the proposal, we conduct a full site analysis and inventory to assess the assets and limitations of the site. From this emerges a comprehensive landscape design that complies with the your briefing. This design illustrates and incorporates features such as the configuration and function of spaces, areas of soft and hard landscaping and structures and provision of services such as lighting and irrigation. This concept plan is then presented to you for your review.

the services of Lachie Anderson…”
2.2 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Following the landscape concept presentation, the initial design is refined to ensure the final concept plan incorporates any feedback or amendments. At this stage, samples and images of the proposed materials including plants and surface treatments are presented to you for discussion and approval. Once all elements have been selected, issues resolved and a final design has been committed to, the detailing of the construction of your project can commence.
2.3 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
The preparation of full construction documents includes the set out of the site, a surfaces plan, a services plan, a planting plan, sections and elevations, construction details where required and a written specification. During this phase it may also be necessary to get some input from other professional bodies including engineers, building surveyors or council representatives.
