Full Landscape Design
Designed for clients embarking on a complete transformation of their outdoor space.
We create detailed and customised garden designs to reflect your needs, taste and the unique character of your site.
Our landscape designs are ideal for new builds and major renovations offering clients a cohesive, expertly designed garden.
The design process is a phased and collaborative approach. We begin by getting to know you — your lifestyle, needs, goals, and budget. From there, we develop a tailored design concept, which we present and refine with you until you’re completely satisfied with the final result.
Once the design is complete, you work with our partnered trusted and talented landscapers and our own planting team to bring the design to life.
Our full landscape design service is best suited to projects with a construction budget of $40,000 or more.

Landscape Design Process
A full garden design ranges from upwards of $2,000 depending on size, scale and complexity. Get in touch to find out more.
Phase 1 | Consultation
The garden design process starts with a site visit and consultation*. During this comprehensive discussion we will take a look at your house & garden and discuss your vision, needs and preferences, how you want to use your space and your available budget. Following this, you will receive a proposal which outlines the fee structure and a tailored design brief guiding the creation for your outdoor area.
*An $250 incl. call out fee is charged for the consultation.
Phase 2 | Site Survey
Following our consultation we will undertake a survey of your garden to measure the space, to fine tune viewpoints and assess ambience, gauge garden level changes and understand any relationships to the house. We also note location of services, drainage issues and any existing trees and plants that will remain.
Phase 3 | Detailed Design
Your completed landscape design is a fully annotated, scaled 2D masterplan of your new garden. It includes spatial layouts, material selections, and a detailed planting palette. Hand-drawn sketches and images highlight key features, while plant images and names help you visualise the living elements of your garden with confidence.
Phase 4 | Quoting + Site Inspections
Once your design is complete, we can connect you with our trusted landscapers or work alongside contractors of your choice for hardscaping installation. Sculpt will provide a separate quote for plant supply, placement and planting.
To support a smooth build, we offer optional site visits — from a single check-in to regular inspections — to monitor progress, respond to changes, and ensure the design is followed as planned.
Phase 5 | Build + Planting
Once the hardscaping is complete, your designer will personally set out the plants to ensure the vision is brought to life as intended. Our skilled planting team will then take care of the planting, mulching, and a thorough final tidy-up of your new garden. You'll also receive a tailored garden care guide with advice to help your landscape thrive in the months ahead.
Phase 6 | Ongoing Supervision + Maintenance
We love to stay involved with the gardens we design and plant, offering ongoing care and advice as they develop. Visit frequency can vary — from weekly, monthly, or seasonal check-ins to a single annual visit — depending on your needs and the garden's stage of growth. We can also recommend trusted tree and lawn care specialists to provide expert annual maintenance

"Claire provided a wonderful design for all three areas of our property (entrance, driveway & back garden) that was thoughtful and integrated our desire for low maintenance. She went over and above and provided an idea for a fence design feature and the absolute look and feel we were after. The implemented design has exceeded our expectations, and as the garden grows, it looks better and better. We highly recommend Sculpt for garden design."
