What do garden design services include?

Garden design services include a wide range of tasks to make your dream garden come to life. When you book your garden design through Airtasker, you can save time, minimise stress, and achieve the output you're looking for. Whether you just moved into a new home and want to develop your garden or you want to spruce up your outdoor space, our design experts can help you out. Here's what to expect when you hire garden designers through Airtasker:

Initial consultation and site survey

Your garden design project starts with a consultation with your garden designer so they can find out your needs and talk about what you want to achieve with your dream garden. Are you looking for wildlife garden designers who can help you create an outdoor space where birds, butterflies, and bees can thrive? Or maybe you're aiming for a modern garden design to suit your new home?

Since every garden and home is unique, your garden designer will survey your space to spot possible opportunities that can be maximised or analyse potential challenges that can arise throughout the project.

Planning and designing

After the consultation, your garden designer will then use all the information provided to create a detailed master plan for your garden. You can visualise where to place specific landscape surfaces such as paths, lawns, and patios, as well as suggested materials, colour schemes, water features, and lighting systems.

The plan also comprises a plant and flower bed design where your trees, topiary, and other greenery are located, depending on your personal preferences and which species best fit with the conditions in your garden. Other aspects such as construction details are also included complete with exact measurements and specifications so your contractor can build your garden exactly as you envisioned.

Project monitoring

Once your garden build begins, your garden designer will be on-site to oversee the project. Together with your landscape designer, the entire build process is regularly monitored to ensure that all hardscapes and external features are implemented following the design plan and with high standards. In case something unexpected arises during the garden build, your garden designer is at hand to answer any questions and offer quick and effective solutions. 

If you want to prolong the look and quality of your newly built garden, you may also ask your garden designer for a garden maintenance plan. You can use this yourself or freely pass it on to your gardener for their reference.

Garden design, planting and maintenance

$150

Bentleigh East VIC, Australia

6th Jul 2024

I'm looking for a professional who can help me with: - garden planning based on the space, sunlight and style; - plant the plants; - teach me to do further maintenance; - position the sprinklers cord according to the newly planted plants (unfinished work); - give advice or even build an arch to support wisteria; - further advice and maintenance of the garden. The garden is tiny, mainly deck and some planting space around it. Has very little sunshine, mainly shade, so plants that strive in shade need to be considered. The soil has been renewed recently, so that part is done. An degree or a certificate in landscaping / horticulturalism is a big plus. Portfolios are very welcome! The budget indicated is not reflecting the scope and can be negotiated, especially if we both are happy to continue working together. Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Not a very positive experience. Disappointed.
