Design Shop

Design that fits your space, your budget, and how ready you are to start

Online landscape design for homes and commercial spaces, anywhere in New Zealand. Every plant and every plan is chosen personally by me for New Zealand conditions, never generated by a tool.

Four ways to start

From nothing at all to the full job. Find the one that sounds like your situation.

Free

Where to Start

Best for you if: You are not ready to spend anything yet and you want to know what to think about first.
What you get: The order to work in, the conditions that decide everything, and the mistakes that cost you later. Written for New Zealand gardens.
Not included: Anything specific to your garden. This is the thinking, not the answer.

$89 • 5 working days

Design Palette for Your Garden Bed

Best for you if: You have one bed that is not working and you want to know what to plant in it.
What you get: Two complete planting options for that exact spot, each a different set of plants that work together, with a plant list and the reasoning behind each.
Not included: A drawn planting plan, spacing set out to scale, or a site visit. Choosing between the two options is the revision, so there is no separate revision round.

The $89 comes off a full design booked within 3 months.

Garden Concept Board

Best for you if: You have a whole property and no idea where to start, and you want a direction before you commit to a design.
What you get: Materials, planting, where to spend your money first, and the order to do the work in. Everything the full design covers except the drawn plan.
Not included: A drawn plan or layout set out to scale, quantities or costings, or a site visit. One direction, not several, and questions by email are included.

$600 to $1,800

Full Design

Best for you if: You are doing the job properly and you want plans a landscaper or nursery can price and build from.
What you get: A design tailored to your project, a material palette, plant choice, and my support through the planting and install.
Not included: The build itself. I hand the plans over build-ready and refer you to trusted nurseries and install teams.

Priced by how much of the property you want designed.

Still not sure? Send me an enquiry and tell me about the space. If a smaller option is a better fit than a full design, I will say so rather than take the booking. Tell me about your project

Full design, priced by scope

You only pay for the amount of property you want designed. The final fee is confirmed once I have seen your brief and site details, and there are no surprises after that.

Single Area

from $600

One space, up to about 50m². A courtyard, an entrance, or a single garden zone.

Part Property

from $1,100

A good chunk of your section, like the back yard, or the front and entrance together.

Full Property

from $1,800

Your whole outdoor space, front to back, designed as one cohesive plan.

Larger or commercial sites, by quote. For sections over 1,000m² or commercial projects, I will put together a tailored quote based on the scope. Start with an enquiry

What every full design includes

Every design is shaped around what your project actually needs, so no two are quite the same. A planting refresh and a full build get different plans. What you can always count on:

A garden design tailored to your project, whether that is planting, hardscape, or the lot
A material palette
Plant choice: a full planting plan, or a plant moodboard where a detailed plan is not needed
Support through the planting and install process

3D visuals are available as an optional add-on if you would like to see the space before it is built.
