MUD VISION

Better living through landscape design

MUD PROCESS

A collaborative process that realises your vision

Landscape Design Process

INITIAL ONSITE CONSULTATION

MUD will visit the site and discuss your vision for the project, taking your brief.

We conduct an analysis of the site, taking note of all key elements that will have an impact on the design.

We have a general discussion around the potential direction of the design, the goal being to walk away confident that we are on the same page and that the design is heading in the direction you are after.

MUD will bring a number of recent project drawing examples to give you an understanding as to how we present design proposals and what you can expect working with us.

Following, a fee proposal is presented outlining project deliverables and timeframe.

Our standard initial consultation fee applies for this service.

PRESENTATION OF LANDSCAPE CONCEPT DESIGN

Upon acceptance of the fee proposal MUD will develop your Landscape Concept Design based on your brief. This is where your vision comes to life!

The preparation of your landscape design will take place over two design phases. 1. Preliminary Concept and 2. Landscape Concept Design.

The Preliminary Concept phase is where we communicate the design intent, proposed layout, suggested surfaces, finishes, and planting concepts. Your feedback is then taken into account before we go ahead and prepare your finalised Landscape Concept Design.

Following, any further feedback is incorporated and the Landscape Concept Design is refined until its perfect for yourself, your site and your family.

LANDSCAPE LAYOUT OR CONSTRUCTION PLANS

MUD will present the revised and final Landscape Concept Design in the form of layout or detailed construction plans, including dimensions and levels, along with details of surface, material, plants, fittings, fixtures and lighting.

From here MUD can manage your Development Application (if required) and provide project management services including management of contractors and the day to day construction of your project through to completion and handover,  ensuring you achieve the highest standard of finish.

Mark Tisdell surprised and delighted us with his innovative design.  Consultations with Mark have been comfortable and he was always willing to discuss any of our reservations, queries and suggestions.

Mark Tisdell from MUD nailed it with the first design concept! And was able to bring this to life with detailed plans that enabled us to get a better idea of how it would look when finished.

S Campbell, Kotara Residence

I found Mark to be very courteous, polite, punctual and easy to work with. Mark provides a very high level of service and my garden is now an area that I can sit in, relax and enjoy.

Professional and friendly service. Mark and his team listened to our needs and created a landscaping design for our new home that exceeded our expectations.
