Phased Garden Makeovers
Sutherland Shire
Large gardens benefit from a slower, more considered approach. Rather than attempting a full transformation all at once, phased garden makeovers allow the land — and the people living with it — to evolve gradually and sustainably.
This service is designed for larger properties where long-term health, functionality, and regeneration matter more than fast cosmetic results.
What a Phased Garden Makeover Is
A phased garden makeover breaks a larger project into manageable, intentional stages, completed over time.
Each phase is planned to:
-
respond to the site’s conditions
-
build soil health progressively
-
allow plants to establish properly
-
avoid overwhelm (financially and practically)
-
adapt as the garden responds
This approach is particularly suited to large gardens, acreage, or established landscapes that need reworking rather than replacement.
How the Phased Approach Works
-
Initial Consultation & Assessment
We walk the garden, discuss priorities, and identify key areas for improvement.2 -
Overall Direction & Staging Plan
A clear long-term vision is established, with the work broken into logical stages. -
Stage-by-Stage Implementation
Each phase focuses on specific areas or goals — planting, restructuring, soil improvement, or functional changes. -
Observation & Adjustment
Time between phases allows the garden to respond naturally, informing the next stage.
Education and guidance are shared throughout, so you understand how and why the garden is changing.
What may be included (depending on phase)
-
Editing or removal of unsuitable planting
-
Soil improvement and regeneration
-
New planting across selected zones
-
Reworking garden layout within existing structures
-
Establishing edible, native, or mixed-use areas
-
Guidance for maintaining progress between stages
All work is carried out using pesticide-free, regenerative practices, with no reliance on chemical treatments or quick fixes.
What this service is not
-
Structural landscaping or construction
-
Hardscaping, retaining walls, paving, or decking
-
One-day transformations
-
This service prioritises long-term outcomes over speed.
Investment
Phased garden makeovers are quoted per stage, following an initial consultation.
As a guide:
Individual phases typically begin from $1,800+
Full phased projects commonly range from $6,500+, depending on size, scope, and number of stages involved
Final pricing is confirmed before each phase begins, allowing flexibility and clarity as the garden evolves.
Materials & Plants
Plants, soil, and any additional materials are quoted separately and are not included in the project pricing unless otherwise specified. This ensures flexibility as the project progresses and allows materials to be selected based on availability, season, and how the garden responds between phases.
