What does a landscape design service include?

Landscape design sounds like a tall order; good thing landscape designers exist to help organise your ideas. Whether you aim to redesign your childhood backyard or develop a brand new concept you find difficult to unpack, a skilled and creative landscape designer can deliver a detailed final plan, either printed or digitally produced. 


Explore these services:


Landscape analysis

To ensure a systematic process, the Tasker does an initial site visit first. It allows landscape designers to fully understand your style so they can come up with a solution that will best reflect your personality and choice of aesthetics. Understanding your location, lifestyle, and climate will help them better plan and gauge possible challenges. It’s best to also discuss your ideas, budget, and other requests during this phase. 


Should unforeseen circumstances arise and the designer won’t be able to show up to your place, you can instead send them photos of your current landscape and discuss through messaging.


Those specifically booked for landscape architecture can also perform a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis—this gives the architect a better idea of what materials and landscape structures will bring the best outdoor living space.


Landscape planning and design proposal

Next, the specialist in landscape design comes up with the initial design proposal based on the gathered insights and discussions with you. The sketches and the layout can be presented through pen-and-paper or digital means. In this phase, you’ll be able to have a clearer idea of how your future landscape will look like. If you’re requesting a garden design, you’ll be able to visualise suggested features like plants, flowers, hedges, trees, pathways, and the turf.


If you want a little boost, you can ask your Tasker to include pools, garden bench seats, water features like ponds and waterfalls, and even a gazebo. Most of all, there should be open communication—don’t hesitate to give your feedback so the expert can make necessary revisions until you feel satisfied with the design.


A landscape architect can also provide sketch designs, prepare a list of recommended hardscape and softscape materials, budget range, and estimated time frame. You can also communicate modifications or replacements to avoid future disputes.


Landscape final concept plan

The landscape design process usually caps off with a final concrete plan that will guide you towards the correct execution. Once the design proposal is approved, your designer hands over a final concept plan—which typically contains 2D or 3D visuals—furniture and material recommendations and samples, demolitions if applicable, and detailed plan for each landscape feature. 


Landscape project implementation

An expert you hired for landscape architecture can also professionally oversee the implementation to ensure a smooth-running project. Since they sketched the landscape design, they can also help verify if the construction and installation are going according to plan. They can also check for potential risks and address them before costly damages happen.


Ready for the next stage? On Airtasker, you can find contractors to do the building and installation for your new outdoor living space.

Backyard landscape design

Nicholls ACT, Australia

5th Jun 2024

Looking for a simple, fairly low maintenance backyard landscape design. I have a fair idea of what I want, but looking for a professional to say yes that will work/won't work, this way will look better or have you thought about doing this/using this type of material, this might be more cost effective, these plants will work better in Canberra etc. Only looking for design/advice at this stage, not to carry out the work, but a point in the right direction for best suppliers wouldn't go astray. Also happy to pay more after initial consultation and advice, if help can be offered to actually do certain parts. Happy to do virtually/over email at this stage, as it's more about the design and I can supply photos etc.

Design only: I am looking for a landscape designer who can provide ideas and assocaited drawings to spice up my frontyard and curp appeal a bit. One face to face meeting onsite required to talk through options. Looking for someone who can think out the box, budget is tiny so materials should be cheap and easy to maintain. - Retaining wall including drainage across frontage - Hedge for privacy (After hedge is installed the frontyard will be all lawn so it can be used as additional recreational space) - New concrete driveway for more space to park cars and extended width leading up to house entrance - Separate entrance to walk up directly from the little footpath to the door instead going through driveway 2D Drawings have to be supplied by you with all dimensions, materials and scale so a builder or landscaper can work of it when installing. Offer should include at least two revisions. Thanks - Due date: Flexible

We are looking to landscape our block in Strathnairn, ACT. We have a rough design plan and general ideas, but could use suggestions and advice from someone experienced. We will be building a deck, pergola and retaining wall separately, but are looking to start getting the rest of the block started with paths, lawns, plants etc. I would appreciate if we could organise a short site visit to discuss the best way to proceed and estimate a quote for work to be done. Thank you
