Project Packages
from $500 incl GST
On‑site consultation
A walk‑through of your garden where we explore how the space works. We discuss your ideas, how you use the area, and opportunities to improve function, beauty, and longevity.
Design Direction
A clear sense of the style and feel you want for your garden. We talk through planting themes, layout, materials, colours, and the atmosphere you’re hoping to create. This becomes the guide for all future decisions.
Concept Recommendations
Early ideas to help you picture what’s possible — new garden zones, pathways, shade solutions, planting palettes, or ways to improve privacy and flow. It’s a taste of the potential without committing to a full design.
Practical Guidance
Straightforward advice on timelines, budgets, staging, and what’s realistic for your lifestyle and investment. You’ll understand what can happen now and what can be built over time.
Follow‑Up Summary
A clear written summary of everything we discussed—your direction, recommendations, and next steps. You can also view the full Greenmade Trade Library, with trade‑price plant options as a handy reference as you move into planning or design. For ongoing support,our Garden Maintenance Plans are available for both DIY gardeners and maintenance contractors.
Who it’s For
This package is ideal for homeowners at the beginning of their garden or landscape journey — or lost somewhere in the middle. Whether you’re working with a blank canvas, refreshing an established garden, or feeling unsure about where to start, this consultation provides clarity and direction.
It’s especially valuable for those wanting confidence before committing to full design services or construction.
If you’re seeking expert guidance, a sense of direction, and a deeper understanding of what’s possible for your outdoor space, this consultation gives you the grounding and momentum to move forward with confidence.
