Landscaping Design in Perth

A great outdoor space starts with a great plan. Our landscape design service in Perth turns your ideas into a clear, practical design you can actually build, whether you are reworking a tired backyard, planning the garden for a new home, or starting with a blank site. Every design is shaped around how your family lives, so the finished space suits your lifestyle and the house it belongs to.

Because we are professional landscapers as well as designers, every plan we draw is one we know how to bring to life. We work with homeowners right across the Perth metro area and the surrounding suburbs of Western Australia, creating functional outdoor spaces that are practical, beautiful and built for the way we live outdoors in Australia.

What Our Landscape Designers Can Do For You

Our experienced, in-house design team is skilled at reinvigorating existing spaces and creating brand new outdoor areas from scratch, from garden design and new lawns through to pools, paving and major structures. We come highly recommended among our Perth clients, built on a reputation for quality and client satisfaction across a decade of projects.

During the initial consultation, we can advise on the landscaping services needed to bring your vision to life, including:

Inspired design advice
Pools, patios and other structures
Site preparation including earthworks
Required building and council approvals
Retaining walls and major construction elements
Decking, paving, concrete and finishing styles
Plant selection and advice
Turf to suit your project

Our design and construction services cover both hardscaping and softscaping, for a complete service managed by one expert team. That single point of contact is the difference between a design that looks good on paper and one that is built properly in the ground.

Our Landscaping Design Process

Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is the first part of the design process. We sit down with you to discuss your wish list, design requirements, style, products and possible layouts, along with your budget, and review any site restrictions.

The consultation takes around an hour and is free of charge. From there we present an initial two-dimensional site plan together with an estimate for the agreed works. Once the basic layout and budget are agreed, we organise a follow-up site visit to finalise the details before the final design phase begins. A start date, job timeline and any other questions can be sorted out at this point. Then you can sit back and watch your design come to life.

Design only

Sometimes you just need a plan. Whether you are not quite ready to start your Perth landscaping project, you need a design in place while you carry out other work to your property, or you simply want a vision for the future, we can provide a detailed plan made for your outdoor space. Our detailed plans include all dimensions, materials, quantities, plant lists and every other relevant detail. The plan is yours to keep, in hard copy or digital.

If you decide to request a quote from Indian Ocean Landscapes later on, the design fee is deducted from your landscaping quote. We take pride in our knowledge as installers of quality landscapes, and that experience shows in designs that are not only beautiful, but worked to your budget and built around practicality.

Indian Ocean Landscapes also offers a complete, professional design option. These plans give you a full vision of what your landscape project can become, with the added extras not every designer can offer. A complete plan can include any or all of the following:

Full materials list
Reticulation plans
Soil testing and specification
Building approvals and certification
Site surveys
Lighting plans
Earthworks plans
Construction documentation

Pricing is agreed at the consultation, depending on the size of the site and the additions you need.

Design Packages

Detailed 2D Landscape Design

Starting from $1760.00

Our 2D landscape design starts with a detailed, scaled site plan that pulls together every element of the project listed in our scope of works. It maps the placement of features, trees and construction components, along with the location of control boxes, outdoor lighting, pots and any required pre-lays.

Inspirations page: A visual representation of the elements and themes considered in your design, so you have as much information as possible before we turn the design into reality.

Construction elements: Detailed construction documentation for the sections of the project that need it, including plans for brickwork, patios, pools, concrete, aluminium screens or steel fabrication. These can be sent to sub-contractors for quoting, which takes the guesswork and any surprise costs out of the process.

Plant and material selections: Here we set out all the trees and plants to be used in your project and confirm the material selections for each part of it. These may be our suggestions, or if you already know exactly what you are after, your selections are included here.

We take pride in our knowledge as installers of quality landscapes, and that experience shows in designs that are beautiful, worked to budget and grounded in practicality.

3D Rendered Landscape Design

Starting from $3250.00

The main advantage of a 3D rendered landscape design is better visualisation. Using 3D design software, we create a more accurate, realistic picture of the finished product, so you get a true sense of how your space will look and feel. That tends to lead to far greater satisfaction with the end result.

Our 3D designs can take in every aspect of your project, including lighting effects, overshadowing from proposed structures or large trees, and the precise location of critical elements. Designing in three dimensions also lets us move quickly to detailed construction drawings or full elevation presentations, ready for any council approvals or submissions you need.

A 3D plan can include any or all of these add-ons:

Irrigation CAD drawings
Lighting plans and effects
DA planning approvals
Building approvals and certification
Construction documentation
Structural engineering

Why choose Indian Ocean Landscapes

What sets our landscape design apart is that we design and build under one roof. Unlike landscaping companies that hand your plan to a separate builder, the same experienced team that draws your design is the one constructing it, so nothing gets lost between people who have never met. The result is a design with real creativity behind it, but one that is also realistic, costed to your budget, and ready to build.

We have built that reputation across a decade of projects, designing everything from traditional gardens to clean, contemporary outdoor areas, always suited to your block and the local environment. Our plans pay attention to the detail, from the soil and planting to how the garden looks from your windows, and we see every job through from concept to completion. The benefit to you is a single team accountable for the entire process, beautiful gardens that work the way you need them to, and a finished landscape that makes a lasting impression.

We take pride in workmanship of the highest standard, and our clients regularly recommend us for our honesty, clear communication and commitment to excellence. Every plan we produce is designed to your budget and your block, not to a template.
