Landscape Design

Stylish, practical landscapes for a range of garden types.

I specialise in creating outdoor living spaces that are elegant, resilient and functional. This means your back yard will not only look beautiful, but will withstand the test of time and require very little maintenance. I offer a wide range of landscape design services, allowing the scope of your design package to be tailored perfectly to you. I offer the following services:

  • Site analysis and evaluation
  • Concept development with 3D modelling
  • Softscape design / plant selection / garden planning
  • Hardscape design (paving, decks, walkways, etc.)
  • Structure design (embankment, retaining walls, pergolas, etc.)
  • Garden lighting design
  • Garden irrigation design
  • Garden maintenance schedules
  • Sustainable landscape design

I can offer full landscape design in conjunction with your architect (new builds or garden renovations), or individual outdoor living spaces.

The landscape design process is a phased and collaborative approach. I take time to get to know you, your lifestyle, and your dreams for your garden.

Throughout the design process I will update you on my progress with regular meetings after each design phase. To keep the stress off you, I am available for site inspections throughout construction to ensure everything is built in accordance with the design.

After the initial design consultation, I will put together one or more concept designs for discussion, allowing you to provide feedback early on.

Once the concept design has been confirmed, I move on to developed design, the design becomes more refined, with 3D modelling to help you visualize what your garden will look like.

Finally. I put together a series of detailed plans and documents, which detail every aspect of the design, from paving and building materials, to lighting and irrigation. This allows for accurate pricing and construction.

"We always dreamed of changing our garden, but could never find the time to work it all out. Once we contacted Acorn though, we never looked back. Lauren was great to deal with, communication was amazing, and she was always one step ahead. We couldn’t be happier with the space; I recommend Acorn to everyone that asks." - Johnny
