A Better Way of Life.
Landscape concept design
A Concept Design is a high-level design that matches your goals and vision with your landscape. This gives you strategies that you can use to bring about the kind of life you are looking for.
During our visit we meet with you and your family to discuss your goals for your property and your desired lifestyle.
We walk around your property together and assess its characteristics such as sunny and shady areas, water sources, soil quality, wind impacts, existing vegetation, microclimates, etc. We also discuss what you love about your property, things you would like to change, things that work and things that don’t.
Together, we create a high-level concept design for your property that meets your goals and meets the ecological needs of your property.
This package includes:
Site assessment
Completion of a client questionnaire
Site visit, this can take 2 - 4 hours depending on the property size and complexity
A summary report that includes
A concept design map of your property
A summary report of the site analysis and recommendations
Plant lists, fruit trees, herbs, support species
Reference list
Prices for a Concept Design start at $700 for a suburban property. Please ask for a quote for larger properties.
implementation
Once you have the Living Patterns Design and are ready to implement you may like some help to get started. We can help you with our Implementation Coaching Program. We will coach you through your garden creation. This is a great option for beginner gardeners who would like some extra help, or for creating something new such as a food forest.
This is a flexible program depending on your needs. It might be a one-off visit to get you started or perhaps a visit for each stage of implementation or even perhaps a monthly visit where we go through activities such as: preparing soil, creating the kitchen garden, creating a food forest, compost making, worm farm management, harvesting, fruit tree care and maintenance.
We can also coach you through the process of adopting new habits in the home to live a more sustainable life. This includes habits such as new recipes for the kitchen, waste management in the home, water saving, reducing plastic use, preserving food etc.
We manage the implementation program to fit your timeframes and build on your knowledge as we go. Working with us in this way you not only have a fabulous productive property you will also have a substantial knowledge in permaculture and the ability to manage your property successfully in the long term.
Please ask for a quote for the Implementation Coaching Program. We will work together to design a program that works for you. Please note you need the Landscape Concept Design prior to the coaching program.
