Landscape Design
A plan for the whole yard before anyone starts digging.
How does landscape design work?
Yards that get built piece by piece usually end up feeling like it. A design step first sorts out levels, drainage, access, sun and how you'll actually use the space, so the paving, lawn, beds and screening all work together.
We look at what stays, what goes, where water runs, and what the yard needs to handle, kids, pets, entertaining, parking, or just being low-maintenance.
You end up with a plan you can build in one go or stage over a few years.

FAQ
Landscape Design, your questions answered
Can the work be done in stages?
Yes, and it often should be. A design gives you the whole picture, then the build can be staged over time so each stage still makes sense on its own.
Do I need council approval?
It depends on what's proposed and where you are, some retaining walls, structures and boundary works need approval. We'll flag anything that looks like it needs checking with your council rather than quietly building it.
How often should I have this done?
It depends on the job and the season, lawns and hedges want a regular rhythm through the warmer months, while bigger garden work is usually a once or twice a year thing. We will suggest an interval that suits your yard, and on a Golden Circle Membership plan we track the timing so it never gets forgotten.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not necessarily. As long as we can get to the yard and to an outdoor tap if the job needs water, plenty of our residential work is done while you're out, we confirm everything beforehand and send photos when it's finished.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, Golden Landscaping is fully insured, and we're owner-operated, so the person who quotes your job is the person responsible for the result.
Is the quote really free and fixed?
Yes. Quotes are free and fixed, you'll know the price before we start, with no hourly meter and no surprises on the invoice. A quick call with a couple of photos is usually all we need.
Do you take the green waste away?
Yes. Clippings, prunings and garden debris can be mulched back where that suits, left in your green bin, or taken away with us, just tell us which you would prefer when you book.
