Gold Coast Landscape Design Reviews
I had a great experience working with Kieran. He helped me select plants suited to my garden’s area and conditions, creating a completely different look than I would have chosen myself, but I love the end result! Kieran was very generous with his time and I highly recommend his services.
Kieran was so worth engaging with by taking in our overall thoughts and complimenting them into his design he made the process so much easier. He really did take his time and listen to the overall brief and making some fabulous suggestions in the process. We would definitely recommend Kieran to anyone looking for direction and planning with their gardens.
How Much Does Landscape Design Cost?
Where are you starting from?
The structures are set (decks, patios, fences, retaining walls: built, or on my builder’s or architect’s plans). I need the garden and planting worked out around them.
Landscape Plan
Structures already set? This is the garden around them.
$2,200 inc GST
The structures need designing, or I’m not sure the layout works.
Landscape Masterplan
Layout to design, or structures and ground heights to price?
$6,600 in total, across four stages
Only part of the garden? Ask and I’ll confirm what fits. Fixed prices are for a standard suburban block, front and back designed together. Acreage, commercial projects and new designs for unit complexes are quoted individually.

Landscape Plans for Council, Estates, Body Corporate & Commercial
Landscape Plan for council, estate and body corporate: $1,800 inc GST. For homeowners meeting council conditions, an estate covenant (the estate’s building rules) or your body corporate’s sign-off. It covers just what the approval asks for: the plan, a key, a plant list and a notes page. It is not a cut-price garden design.
Commercial & Approvals: for builders, developers, body corporate committees and businesses. You’ll find the prices on that page.
Send your conditions through and I’ll confirm the plan covers what they ask for before anything starts. Your planner has the final say.

Landscape Design FAQ
Do you do the landscaping construction?
No, and that helps you. I’m independent, so the design is about your brief, not selling you a build. A trusted landscaper builds it. I’ll suggest one if I know a good fit, or work in with yours. I take no commission. I check each quote lists what the plan shows, and provide a clean handover. Your landscaper quotes.
How does a design help with the budget?
Changes are easier to make on paper than on site. A resolved design gives contractors a clearer brief to work to. It is intended to reduce guesswork and mid-build variations. It also helps you decide what to do now and what can wait. Your landscaper quotes on the final plan.
How long does the process take?
A Landscape Plan is delivered within 5 business days of payment and your site information. The Landscape Masterplan is about 4 weeks for all four stages, depending on how quickly each stage is approved. I’ll map out your specific timeline on the call.
