The Process
Our designers will work closely with you to understand your preferences, needs, and budget, ensuring that the final design aligns perfectly with your goals.
From the initial concept to the final construction, our landscape designers will guide you through every step of the process.
They will provide detailed drawings, 3D visualisations, and material recommendations, allowing you to envision the final outcome before any work begins.
Initial consultation Garden requirements
We’ll meet for first time and this is where we really get to know your needs and requirements. This can be done in person or online. Be prepared to answer lots more questions about your ideas, dreams, and lifestyle.
We’ll dig deep to understand how you want to spend time outside, we’ll work out what you need in each of your outdoor spaces.
We’ll help you to prioritise your overflowing wish list and we’ll work out what’s possible on your site within your budget. We’ll take some photos and review your architectural house plans (if you have them), your Google Earth site plan, site considerations and limitations, and the overall scope of work. With our gentle guidance, you’ll imagine the finished landscape design.
The Proposal Concept Plan
We take a thorough approach to concept development for your outdoor space. We begin by conducting a full site analysis, which includes gathering architectural plans and any necessary site survey plans. If needed, we will conduct a site survey to ensure we have a complete understanding of the space.
From there, we develop concept designs that take into account specific details such as traffic flow, sunlight patterns, lighting, irrigation, and any structures that may be required, such as retaining walls.
When we conceptualize, our vision begins to take shape. We created a 2D model after our multiple feedbacks with the client to reflect their vision, personality and lifestyle.
The presentation Ready to build
In our last meeting, we’ll present the final concept plan with 2D and 3D CAD visualisations with conceptual elevations, including video fly throughs.
Then things get really exciting – it’s time to start construction.
We believe that the choice of materials is a crucial part of the design process. Working with our suppliers and designers we ensure that the materials we choose perfectly suit the taste, needs, and budget of our clients. Our goal is to provide personalised and tailored solutions that reflect your unique style and personality.

Our Landscape Design Process
Our designers work closely with you to understand your preferences, needs, and budget so the final landscape design aligns with your goals. From the initial concept to the final construction, your designer guides you through every step, providing detailed drawings, 2D or 3D landscape design visualisations, and material recommendations so you can picture the finished landscape before any work begins. Step 1: Initial Consultation. We meet on site (or online if you prefer) to get to know you, your site, and how you want to use your outdoor space. Step 2: Concept Plan and Proposal. We develop concept designs that factor in traffic flow, sunlight, lighting, irrigation, and any structures such as retaining walls, then we create a 2D design after gathering all the information we need to build your dream landscape. Step 3: Final Presentation and Ready to Build. We present the concept plan with 2D or 3D CAD visualisations, conceptual elevations, and video fly-throughs, and the same Parrot team takes the landscape from paper into your backyard.
Landscape Design Ideas, Inspiration, and Small Garden Design
Looking for garden design ideas in NZ? Our landscape designers draw on a wide range of styles to create outdoor spaces that suit your home and lifestyle, including contemporary garden design with clean lines and modern materials, native NZ garden design using natural materials that thrive in our climate, backyard design and entertaining spaces that turn your yard into an outdoor living area, small garden design that maximises every square metre of compact courtyards and townhouse gardens, and tropical or subtropical design that takes advantage of Auckland‘s mild climate. Small garden design is one of our specialties: smart techniques like vertical planting, multi-functional zones, and carefully selected plants can turn a narrow side garden, compact front yard, or small backyard into a stunning retreat that makes every square metre count.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in the landscape design process?
Our landscape design process is a collaborative journey. It begins with an initial consultation to understand your vision, needs, and budget. We then conduct a thorough site analysis and develop concept designs. These are presented to you with detailed drawings, 3D visualisations, and material recommendations. We refine the design based on your feedback until you are completely happy before moving on to the construction phase.
How much does landscape design cost?
The cost of landscape design varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We offer a range of packages to best suit your needs ranging from $1000-$4500. We also offer a paid consultation service where we provide a detailed proposal and report with professional recommendations.
Can I see examples of your previous design work?
Yes, we have an extensive portfolio of our completed projects that we would be happy to share with you. You can also view some of our work on our website.
Do I need a landscape design for my project?
While not all projects require a full landscape design, it is highly recommended for larger or more complex projects. A good design will ensure a cohesive and well-planned outdoor space that meets your needs and enhances your property’s value.
What if I only have a small garden?
We work on projects of all sizes, from small courtyard gardens like this little suburban oasis to large-scale rural properties. Our design principles can be applied to any space to maximise its potential and create a beautiful and functional outdoor area.
Can you incorporate specific features into the design, like a vegetable garden or a play area for children?
Yes, we can incorporate any specific features you desire into the landscape design. We will work with you to ensure that the design is tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
What is the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect?
Both roles focus on shaping outdoor spaces to be beautiful and functional. The main difference is that landscape architects usually have more formal training and can take on complex design or technical work, while landscape designers tend to focus on creative layouts, planting, and residential projects. At Parrot Landscaping, our team includes a Registered Master Landscape Architect and Registered Horticulturalist, so every project – from early concepts to detailed plans – benefits from both professional expertise and practical design experience.
How do you ensure the design will suit my home's architecture?
We take great care to ensure that our landscape designs complement the architectural style of your home. We consider the materials, colours, and overall aesthetic of your house to create a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
