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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.

Hi, we're renovating our house and looking for an experienced landscaper to help us come up with a simple landscape design for the backyard. Previously the backyard was just a grass section, but a lot has been destroyed by the renovation work. Still looking for a simple design (thinking tropical plants / Bali inspired). Design likely to be mostly grass, pavers between house and garage, and tropical plants/bamboo (keen for your input) lining the fenced sides / neighbour boundary. Open to suggestions on the design by the landscaper too. This quote is for the design and quote for materials + labour. If successful would like you to implement the design based on the quote. - Due date: Flexible
Delivered brief exactly as required. Punctual, easy to work with, exactly what we were looking for regarding landscape design.

Looking for someone who can help turn our plans for our front yard into well designed drawings which can form part of our submission to council. Background: We live on a busy road and are seeking permission from council to build a taller wall than usual rules allows for in order to help mitigate the noise. We have had an initial meeting with council and have feedback on what we need to provide to get official approval. Long story short, we need aesthetically pleasing designs. We know what it needs to look like but our ability to translate these to paper are lacking. Looking for someone that can help! Bonus points: If you have experience in garden design, then also happy to work with you on making it an even better design - let us know your skills and we can go from there, Front area is about 6.5 x 4m. The designs include a 2.1-2.4m brick fence + garden bed out the front. Also need depiction of proposed garden inside the fence and side view of what fence will look like. Initial mock-ups attached. We can provide more clarity of the design once booked. More specific requirements (as directed by council). We need three parts: 1. Site Plan showing - Location of existing house - Proposed walls/fences in colour - Setback distances from pathway/boundary - Levels - Landscaping including proposed new planting and pathway to the house (we know what we want for this so just needs to be drawn and labelled) 2. Elevations (which assume can be shown in the below two sections) 3. Side view showing - Elevations - Existing buildings - Proposed walls/fences in colour, including ground levels - Proposed materials and colours for the walls/fences 4. Front view showing - Existing buildings - Proposed walls/fences in colour, including ground levels - Proposed materials and colours for the walls/fences Due date: Flexible

Hey all- i'm keen to do some simple landscaping to my front, back & side yards of a small property (270sqm lot) in Rosebery. I was about to get started with a landscaper, only to realise that i didn't think twice about the design! For the front it's pretty simple, just need a few tree recommendations to replace the current ones. I have ideas. The side- This is a 1.5m passage with windows looking out (we can see our neighbour's house directly). So looking for some ideas about how to make our outlook look nice with plants & maybe privacy screens. The backyard- this has the most potential. We have an alfresco area and a small pool. For now i'm looking to put a garden bed down one side, and get tree & plant consultation & inspiration for something that looks stylish & modern. Can send photos once we get the ball rolling. Would love to see examples of any landscape design & plant/tree selection you've done. Cheers! Ben - Due date: Flexible
Emma went above and beyond to create an amazing front, side & backyard design for us. Really loved the ideas, plant & material choices! She also answered every question I had along the way (and I had many). Thanks again Emma!

I’m interior designer working on a project and a few outside areas have fallen into my scope. I have rough idea and would like to brain storm with a landscape designer. I would require you come on-site in killcare (I am Sydney based and travel daily) I would like to share ideas and have you put a plan on paper. The price advertised is for the consultation and I will pay you for you time putting a plan together. I’m meeting with various Gardners/garden labours next week and ideally would like to meet on Sunday on-site. I have some very basic scribbles I have been working on that need expanding. I don’t need help with plants although I’m open to suggestion it’s more about synthetic grass pavers decking etc. I’d like to get a working relationship with somebody in the space

Small front garden bed needs top layer of soil removed, replaced with good-quality soil and then planted throughout (two existing trees will remain). We are aiming to create a low-maintenance, drought-proof garden with a cascading effect over the step. Ideally one or two feature plants and the rest ground cover. Open to your suggestions. We also need something to grow up the wires that screen the bins (pictured). There are a LOT of utilities running through this bed: gas, storm water, mains water, ag line and Telstra cable. Digging needs to be done carefully and with hand tools only. Additionally plant species cannot have invasive root system. Please quote for garden design and labour and we can discuss the cost of plants separately. Please also post pictures of garden projects you have completed previously.
