Three ways to work with me
From one problem bed to the whole property. Find the one that sounds like your situation, then compare them properly below.
$89 • 5 working days
Design Palette for Your Garden Bed
You have one bed that is not working and you want to know what to plant in it. I send you two complete planting options for that exact spot, with the reasoning behind each.
Start your bed palette, $89
The $89 comes off a design plan booked within 3 months.
$175 • 5 working days
Garden Concept Board
You have a whole property and no idea where to start. I give you a clear direction: materials, planting, where to spend first, and the order to do the work in.
Start your concept board, $175
The $175 comes off a design plan booked within 3 months.
From $600
Landscape Design Plan
You are doing the job properly. I draw your plan to scale so a landscaper or nursery can price it and build from it, and I stay with you through the planting.

| Compare by | Design Palette for Your Garden Bed $89 | Garden Concept Board $175 | Landscape Design Plan From $600 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for you if | You have one bed that is not working and you want to know what to plant in it. | You have a whole property and no idea where to start, and you want a direction before you commit. | You are ready to build and you want plans a landscaper or nursery can price and work from. |
| Area covered | One garden bed. | Your whole property, as direction rather than layout. | One area, part of the property, or all of it. You choose the scope. |
| 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. | Materials, planting direction, where to spend your money first, and the order to do the work in. | A plan drawn to scale, a material palette, plant selection, and my support through the planting and install. |
| What you send me | Photos of the bed, rough measurements, and which way it faces. | Photos of the property, rough measurements or a site plan, and what you want from the space. | Photos, site measurements or a plan, and your brief. I tell you exactly what I need before we start. |
| Drawn plan to scale | No | No | Yes. This is the difference. The board tells you what to do, the plan shows exactly where it goes. |
| Planting | Yes. A plant list you can take straight to a nursery. | Yes, as a planting direction rather than a set out plan. | Yes. A full planting plan, or a plant moodboard where a detailed plan is not needed. |
| Quantities and costings | No | No | Yes, enough for a landscaper to price the job. |
| 3D visuals | No | No | Optional add-on if you want to see the space before it is built. |
| Turnaround | 5 working days | 5 working days | Confirmed in your proposal, before you pay anything. |
| Changes | Choosing between the two options is the revision, so there is no separate round. | One direction, not several. Questions by email are included. | We walk through the concept together on a call, then I make your changes before the final plan. |
| Site visit | No. Everything is done online. | No. Everything is done online. | No. Everything is done online, anywhere in New Zealand. |
| Credited toward a design plan | Yes, within 3 months of purchase. | Yes, within 3 months of purchase. | This is the design plan. |

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 plan, I will say so rather than take the booking. Tell me about your project
Design plans, 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 design plan 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.
