One discovery call. Three clear packages. Zero upsells.

Landscape Design Packages

Your outdoor space, designed properly — once. Clear plans, landscaper introductions, and contractors quoting on the same scope.

Inside Each Package

What You Actually Get

On the Discovery Call, Kieran recommends the package this project actually needs — not the cheapest one you’d say yes to. Most clients start with the Concept Plan and proceed to the Masterplan when the build needs full setout, materials schedule, services intent and a 3D model. Designed and delivered personally by Kieran Morris — NZQA-qualified, 10+ years in the industry. Prices below are for standard suburban blocks (front + backyard) — acreage and larger or non-standard properties are quoted individually.

Fastest Turnaround

Softscape Plan

$2,200 inc GST · 5–7 business days turnaround

Summary

For a project where the layout’s already settled — your own garden with good bones, or a new build/reno with architect-produced plans in hand. Plants, materials and finishes that work as one look, right down to exterior colours and product selection.

Week

  1. Discovery chat (free ~30 min). Confirm fit and scope.
  2. Pay in full to lock in — work kicks off once the invoice clears and site info’s in.
  3. Full planting plan built (5–7 business days). Delivered to your Drive folder.

Who it’s for

Owners with the layout already decided who need the planting, materials and finishes resolved and pulled into one cohesive look. If the layout itself still needs deciding, the Concept Plan is a better fit.

What you get

  • Full planting plan PDF — zones, species, quantities, bed-by-bed layout illustratives
  • Planting specifications — pot size, spacing, depth, soil prep, mulch
  • Establishment & maintenance notes — watering-in schedule, year-1 care, ongoing
  • Edging and stepping-stone placement where relevant to the brief
  • Plant sourcing notes + wholesale nursery options where relevant
  • 30-day Q&A window after delivery
  • Introductions to trusted local contractors when you’re ready to build

What you can do with it

  • Hand to a landscaper for installation — layout illustratives show where each species goes
  • Order plants direct from the sourcing notes — wholesale-nursery options noted where relevant
  • Plant it yourself — the establishment & maintenance notes walk you through it
Creative-Led Design

Landscape Concept Plan

$4,400 inc GST · ~2 weeks turnaround

Summary

Starts with a workshop or video consult where we work through your site and brief together, and resolves into a personalised design — concept plan plus full planting design, delivered in two stages.

Week

  1. Discovery call (free ~30 min). Confirm fit and scope — tailored proposal follows.
  2. Pay Stage 1 to lock in the workshop or video consult.
  3. Workshop (on-site) or video consult (remote) — delivery mode is a logistics choice, not a price difference. Brief locked in.
  4. Concept + planting design (~2 weeks). Video walkthrough — revisions incorporated, plans finalised. Delivered to your Drive folder.

Who it’s for

Owners with a standard block where the scope is clear from the outset, ready to lock in layout and planting in a single engagement.

What you get

  • Workshop or video consult — creative direction on layout and planting
  • 2D concept plan PDF — layout, design narrative, materials intent
  • Full planting design + materials schedule
  • Google Drive project folder
  • Two video presentation calls — one for the concept, one for the planting plan
  • 30-day Q&A window after delivery
  • Introductions to trusted local contractors when you’re ready to build

What you can do with it

  • Hand to a landscaper for a desktop estimate — enough detail to price the job within a realistic range
  • Self-manage trades — brief paving, retaining, planting separately, each working from the same plan
  • Step up to the Masterplan later if the build needs full setout & material specifications

Many clients opt for the Masterplan after the concept lands — the decision point is built into Stage 2.

Compliance & Commercial

DA, Compliance & Commercial Projects

Compliance documentation, not a creative process — DA conditions met without a design workshop, and commercial or developer work scoped to your brief.

DA / Council Landscape Plan

From $1,500 inc GST

Landscape and planting plan documentation, formalised against your council DA conditions. Remote by default, no site visit.

Commercial, Multi-Res & Developer

Quoted individually

Competitive rates, efficient turnaround — scoped to your project once we’ve talked through the brief.

The Process

How It Works

Four steps from first call to plans-in-hand. No surprises, staged payments tied to milestones.

01

Discovery Call

Free 20-minute video call — Kieran shares his desktop and walks you through what he’s pulled on your property. Both decision-makers on the call. We confirm which package the project actually needs and whether we’re the right fit for each other — no pitch, no obligation.

02

Workshop / Consult

On-site walkthrough or video call. We lock in the design direction together — what you want, what works for the site, what fits the budget.

03

Design

Kieran builds your plans — concept, materials, planting, spatial model (Master Plan only). You review and refine.

04

Delivery

Final plans delivered. Hand them to your landscaper, or to several — you get comparable quotes from anyone you choose.

Habitat Landscape and Design was a huge help in getting a landscape plan completed for Council DA. Their promptness in correspondence and problem solving to issues of concern was truly outstanding. A rare trait to find in today’s business world. I gladly recommend Kieran’s expertise! Thank you.

I can absolutely recommend Kieran. He took time to understand our home before advising on the landscape design. I have worked with numerous landscapers over the years and Kieran is the best. On some of his advice I trusted him and now that the plantings are in I can see the beauty of his approach. The landscape has added far more to our home than I could have imagined.

We worked with Kieran at Habitat Landscape Design to develop the concept plan for our new build, and the experience was exceptional. He played a key role in designing the pool placement and creating a private, welcoming front entry, both of which have completely elevated the overall vision of our home. Kieran really listened to our design direction and thoughtfully incorporated our subtle coastal elements throughout the concept. The pool positioning feels intentional and perfectly integrated with the house layout, maximising both aesthetics and functionality. The front entry design strikes that beautiful balance between privacy and warmth — layered planting, soft textures, and a relaxed coastal feel that ties seamlessly into the architecture. What stood out most was his ability to refine our ideas and turn them into something cohesive, practical, and timeless. The concept design gives us so much confidence moving into the build phase. We highly recommend Kieran to anyone wanting a landscape designer who truly understands design detail, flow, and how to create a space that feels both beautiful and liveable.

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.

Kieran is amazing to work with. He was able to see our vision and created a landscape concept beyond our expectations. He is so knowledgeable, a great communicator, responsive and reliable. He offers a great range of services and we look forward to continuing working with Kieran. Could not recommend him more highly.

My experience with Habitat Landscape Design was excellent. Kieran was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable and demonstrated a great balance of creative vision and practical design. I’m very happy with the final landscaping design.

Kieran was so helpful and creative coming up with ideas for our garden. We are so glad we booked a consult with him and can’t wait to start planting. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for landscape inspiration!

Kieran arrived punctually, and immediately we felt at ease with him. We had recently had to replace two of our boundary fences which gave us the opportunity to remove quite a number of large golden canes and strelitzias up on our high retaining walls. We have some new projects in mind for the rear and front gardens, and had asked Kieran to come in and give us his professional advice on these plans and also plant selections. Kieran spent time with us assessing the landscape, offering his professional opinion and in some cases simplifying our vision for the gardens. When he left we felt we had gained clarity in moving forward with our plans.

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.

FAQ

Landscape Design FAQ

Do you do the construction or landscaping?
Habitat is a design studio — Kieran creates the plans, you choose who builds them. Habitat works with a network of Gold Coast landscapers and can introduce you to someone suited to your project, so every contractor is quoting on the same scope.
Why invest in a design plan?
A clear plan means contractors can quote on the same scope — less guesswork, fewer mid-build surprises, less wasted material. You get comparable quotes, a clear picture of what you’re building, and a result that matches what you signed off on.
Which package should I choose?
The Landscape Concept Plan suits most homes — you get the full design vision, materials direction, and a detailed planting schedule. Choose the Landscape Masterplan if you want layout details & specifications with drainage, irrigation, lighting and quantified materials. The Softscape Plan is ideal if your layout’s already settled and you just need the planting, materials and finishes designed.
What’s included in the Discovery Call?
It’s a 20-minute conversation about your project — what you’re hoping to achieve, what matters most, and what’s realistic. Kieran looks into your property beforehand and gives you informed feedback on scope, budget and next steps. No obligation, no pitch.
Why both decision-makers on the Discovery Call?
A landscape investment is rarely a single-person decision, and a relay through the partner who wasn’t on the call is where most projects unravel. Kieran asks for both partners (or co-owners, anyone with a veto) on the same call so the conversation lands once. Happy to wait until both diaries align.
Do you work outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. The Softscape Plan is remote by default. For the Concept Plan and Masterplan, a video consult can replace the on-site workshop — delivery mode is a logistics choice, not a price difference. Suits out-of-area properties, or pre-construction sites (vacant land, off-the-plan) where there’s nothing meaningful to walk yet. A short discovery call confirms what suits your project before engagement.
How far in advance should I book?
Workshops typically book 2–3 weeks ahead. Autumn and early winter are the best planting windows on the Gold Coast, so if you’re planning to plant this season, locking in a date now gives you the best head start.
