How We Operate

1

First Landscape Design​ Consultation

Our landscape architects will visit your home and talk with you about your ideas and vision for your new garden or swimming pool. It usually takes around 60 mins to discuss your ideas and ideas for your new garden or swimming pool design. We will also discuss your budget and key design elements. After this visit you will be sent a design proposal for designing your new garden or swimming pool.

Preliminary Concept Plans

We will then provide you with a proposal for the design and the associated fees. If you approve the fee proposal, we will begin to design your garden. We encourage this to be a process whereby Exterior Architecture’s and our clients can work together to design the perfect garden for you. In the beginning, it is generally necessary to meet with us face to face and discuss your requirements.

Once you’ve approved the design concepts, we provide you with detailed landscaping plans and related documentation. Some garden designs do not need to be approved by the Noosa Shire Council and the Sunshine Coast Environment Council, but if we are given the opportunity to start this process, we will work tirelessly to obtain this approval.

This question is a bit like asking, “How long is a piece of string?” but we aim to give you a solid starting point. Most landscape design projects begin at $6,000 plus GST. This base price helps establish expectations, with final costs tailored to your specific needs and the unique features of your property. Landscape design is a detailed, creative process shaped by many variables, each affecting the total cost. That’s why we believe in transparent pricing, so you understand the investment right from the start.

Our Tailored Pricing Approach

To provide an accurate quote, we need to visit your site. This allows us to understand your vision, goals, and the space itself. After the visit and our discussion, we’ll send you a detailed design fee proposal. This proposal will align with your ideas and the practical steps required to bring your Noosa landscape to life.
At Exterior Architecture, we’re committed to delivering high-quality designs without unnecessary delays. We balance efficiency with attention to detail because great results take thoughtful planning.

Initial Site Visit & Measurements

Every project starts with a site visit. We take detailed measurements and assess your property firsthand. This step is essential it forms the foundation for a successful design.

Design Completion Timeline

After the initial visit, we aim to deliver your completed design within four to six weeks. This window gives us the time to craft a design that reflects your vision and meets our high standards without rushing key decisions.
At Exterior Architecture, your involvement is entirely up to you. Whether you prefer to step back or stay hands-on, we tailor the process to suit your preferences.

Your Role, Your Choice

You decide how engaged you want to be:
  • Hands-off: Share your vision and let us handle the details. This gives our designers the freedom to explore bold, creative ideas that can elevate your space in ways you may not expect.
  • Collaborative: If you have a clear vision or specific ideas, we welcome your input throughout the process. Your active role helps ensure the final design matches your lifestyle, taste, and goals.

Our Commitment

No matter your level of involvement, our goal remains the same: to create a landscape you love—one that’s beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, general landscaping and landscape architecture refer to two distinct aspects of outdoor design and development.

General Landscaping

General landscaping focuses on the installation, construction, and maintenance of outdoor spaces. It typically includes:
  • Planting: Selecting and installing trees, shrubs, and plants.
  • Hardscaping: Building patios, paths, retaining walls, and other structures.
  • Irrigation: Installing systems to support healthy plant growth.
  • Maintenance: Ongoing care to preserve aesthetics and plant health.
Landscapers usually work from a design—either from a landscape architect or a property owner’s plan—and bring it to life through practical, hands-on execution.

Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture is a professional discipline that combines design theory, technical planning, and environmental awareness to create purposeful outdoor spaces. Key elements include:
  • Design Principles: Using architectural frameworks to guide the layout and experience.
  • Site Analysis: Studying land conditions, features, and limitations.
  • Ecology & Sustainability: Integrating green practices and native ecosystems.
  • Grading & Drainage: Managing water flow and soil stability.
  • Functional Design: Balancing form and function to meet user needs.
Landscape architects are licensed professionals trained to develop comprehensive design plans that guide both construction and long-term usability. Their work sets the foundation for landscapers to implement.

Summary

In short, Noosa landscape architects design the vision. Landscapers build and maintain it. Both roles are essential, but their responsibilities and skill sets differ significantly.
Yes every design we create includes a 3D render as standard. These digital models give you a realistic, immersive preview of your future landscape. They help you visualize the layout, materials, and features before any construction begins ensuring clarity and confidence in every decision.
Absolutely. If you have preferred plants, we’ll do our best to include them in your design. If any choices aren’t suitable for your site or climate, we’ll explain why and suggest beautiful, practical alternatives that match your vision.
Yes we design for both residential and commercial properties in Noosa and across the Sunshine Coast.

Residential Landscapes
