Dean’s Procedure in Formulating your Landscape Plan
Travel to your site
Travel costs are allowed for within the Toowoomba City boundaries, outside 80c per km is charged for travel.
Consultation
I discuss your aspirations and requirements for the future whilst referring to my checklist so nothing in your landscape is overlooked. All information you give is greatly appreciated.
Survey your site
Your site is surveyed to 1m accuracy and I photograph for my reference. Plans are drawn at a scale of 1:100 or larger areas 1: 200 for easy and accurate implementation.
Draw Hard Plan
Boundaries, home, sheds, drives, paths, pergolas, gazebos, pools, ponds & waterfalls etc. are drafted at this stage taking care to position these elements in their best relative positions.
Draw Soft Plan
Gardens & lawn areas are carefully drawn with particular consideration given to the flow through the garden, lay of the land re water run off and ease of mowing etc.
Select and position plant species
Careful consideration is given to the size & shape of each species, flower/foliage colour contrast, summer and winter sun, soil type, aspect, moisture requirements and relative positioning.
Code plants
All species are shown on your plan in grown size, foliage is colour coded for autumn and heights are numerically prefixed ( eg a 1m high shrub is prefixed 1xx ) on your Plan and Plant Schedule.
Colour plan
Your plan is coloured to enhance plants,garden and water areas etc.
Copy
You receive the Original Printed Plan, digital PDF copy and Plant Schedule. I keep all CAD copies in my office for future reference.
Cost
Plans cost $1 per square metre of your land area i.e. allotment size, with a minimum of 400 square metres, therefore costing $400.
Please allow a week for me to design your garden.
