Design and Planning

Garden design and planning is an exciting stage. Neville Stewart Landscaping can create designs, work with your designs, or we have an in house designer we can offer. We are experienced with garden design for residential and commercial properties throughout Dunedins varied terrain. Whether you want a cottage garden filled with flowers and foliage, a more structured English country garden, a garden with a coastal theme, or raised gardens for ease of access or to grow vegetables, we will discuss this with you during the planning stage. 

We meet at your property so we can see what the scope of the project will be and to find out what your ideas are. If you have images of gardens and plants you like, we can discuss including these in your new garden. We also look at specific expectations, timelines and your budget. We also need to find out more detailed information such as soil type, prevailing winds, and site orientation, and we'll look at existing trees and plants. This is the time to consider how low maintenance you want the garden to be, or whether you want to be an active gardener.
