A PERSONALISED APPROACH TO DESIGN

The SEED Landscape Design philosophy focuses on producing individual, site-specific landscape designs for local and international commercial clients, and residential clients in Brisbane and South East QLD.  Each project is undertaken with a dedication that reflects our committed work ethic, attention to detail, and extensive experience to lend improved value and aesthetic appeal to your home and lifestyle.

Addressing the property as a whole, we design with the building rather than treating it as a separate identity. This approach aims to increase the living space and extend the internal realm into the external realm, particularly in South East QLD where we live in a warm climate with an alfresco lifestyle.   It just makes sense.

 

At SEED Landscape Design you will liaise with the same architect from the beginning of the design process, through to the completion of the project.  In addition to the landscape design we offer the following:

  • Contractor recommendation - our recommended contractors are accustomed to the high standard expected when aligned with a SEED Landscape Design project and will deliver accordingly. 

  • Design Implementation Consultation - to ensure the investment you have made in the landscape design is implemented as intended SEED Landscape Design offers a post-design service whereby your landscape architect can be on site during the construction phase.  This allows SEED Landscape Design to maintain contractor quality, and to ensure construction methods are of industry standard and to the high quality that we expect for our clients.  This service also allows SEED Landscape Design to address any unforeseen circumstances that will require a change to the design - we can adjust the design while maintaining the design intent.   

  • Landscape Maintenance Recommendation -  to protect your investment SEED Landscape Design can recommend a trusted contractor to maintain your landscape design.  Alternatively, we can advise on how you can maintain the property with handy tips and advice on such things as when to fertilise, prune, oil deck etc.

  • Ongoing Design Service - as lifestyle requirements change, plants grow/fail, SEED Landscape Design can recommend changes to suit your new requirements.  We will always be available to consult and to manipulate your design to adapt to your needs.

The cost of a design is greatly determined by the size of the landscape, the uses intended for it and the preferred elements within the spaces. That is why it is vital to review the site with you and discuss the overall desired outcome.

 

For our commercial clients, SEED Landscape Design can assist with RiskSmart, Landscape Compliance Certification, concept plans for DA approvals.  SEED Landscape Design primarily works within South East QLD shire councils, although we do cover required council submissions for all shire councils throughout Australia.  Not only are we familiar with the codes and regulations of the shire councils but we also have the necessary qualification to develop these plans for submissions.
