Landscape Design Questionnaire

In order to design a successful project

You, the client needs to step back from what you want to see, and think about the individual needs of you and your family.

Think about how you use your garden and how you envision using it.
Do you need a safe place for children to play, a dining area for 2 or 20, a spot to read, relax, or soak up the sun?
How about a place to stow the lawnmower and the rubbish bins? And have you thought about your constraints?
Do you have excessive sun or lots of shade?
Another thing to remember, that like your home, your garden will need constant maintenance… leaves fall, weeds grow, irrigation nozzles plug up, shrubs need shaping, roses need dead-heading, and lawns need mowing.

How would you like your garden to look? Check one or more of the following:

Country — colorful, mixed borders, perennials, informal layout with winding rustic paths

Asian — simple; mixed shrubs and groundcover, serene, shady, lots of green, perhaps a pond or other water feature, slate or bluestone paving

Formal — symmetrical, clipped hedges, lawns, pergolas, paths, fountains

Australiana native — Mainly Australian native plants, gravel or mulch paths, natural/ wild

Mediterranean — drought tolerant plantings… grasses, lavender, rockroses, olive trees, rosemary, flagstone/limestone/gravel or decomposed granite paving, stone or stucco

Other:

Desired planting effect?

Instant gratification (I want large shrubs and trees for immediate effect and don’t mind spending the extra money)

Delayed gratification (I like to watch them grow and change and want to watch my budget)

budget

Most people don’t want to think about this, but your budget will determine whether your garden can be installed all at once or phased in over time; it will also determine whether or not you can hire a professional landscape contractor to install and/or maintain the garden. The selection of paving materials and the size of the plant material specified in the final plans will also be determined by your budgetary constraints.

Please check the figure that is an acceptable amount for your project:

$10,000 - $20,000

$20,000 - $50,000

$50,000 - $100,000

$100,000 +

Do you have a desired completion date (e.g. the infamous wedding?)
