LANDSCAPE DESIGN

OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGN SERVICES

We provide a wide range of professional landscape design services to meet your needs. We can provide a range of services varying from site and functional analysis sketch plans, concept plans, sectional elevations, planting schedules, detailed masterplans and assistance with development application (DA) consent conditions.

Landscape Concept Plan

A concept plan is a scaled drawing of a development proposal conceptually showing the extent, function, context, linkages and attributes of areas to be landscaped. The scope of a landscape plan may extend to works outside of the site, such as streetscape works or overhanging vegetation located on adjoining sites.

A planting schedule usually accompanies a landscape plan to show the proposed plant material to be used, location of material, number of plants and size of pots.

Section Elevation

A sectional elevation is a combination of a cross section, with elevations of other parts of the landscape and the proposed landscaping sketched. The sketch provides a realistic impression of how selected areas should appear in the future.

Functional Analysis - Sketch

A Functional Analysis suggests ideas based on the needs of the client whilst considering the capability and constraints of the site. It appears in the format of a roughed sketch plan and is fluid in process ideally throwing ideas and suggestions between the client and the designer.

It's a quick way to record and develop ideas and generally is not intended as a finished work. It can be worked up into a more presentable form and used to communicate the principles of a landscape design before producing a detailed drawing. When finalised, it acts as a blue print for a concept plan with more details.
