Example of Southern Craft Landscapes work
Start with what the builder is handing over.
Confirm which surfaces the builder includes, what ground preparation remains, and the finished levels around the house. Check access dates and the positions of services before arranging work. Send Tom your site plan and current photos: a cleared site isn’t necessarily ready for turf. These details help identify preparation that needs to be discussed in the quote.
Plan the order before the finishes.
Agree on pathways, garden beds and outdoor living zones before choosing the final lawn or surfaces. Reticulation routes should be considered at the same time, including where pipes need to cross paths. A clear sequence helps avoid working over areas that have just been finished. Explore reticulation, lawn installation and custom pathways.
Build around your priorities.
Discuss your budget and whether the work needs to be staged. You might prioritise front access first, or focus on backyard living. Allow for a future deck or additional beds in the layout, even if they aren’t part of the first stage. Tom can discuss practical options and sequencing in your quote, aiming to avoid unnecessary rework rather than committing to outcomes before the site is assessed.
What to send Tom
Send your location, site plan and photos, builder inclusions, access arrangements and expected handover date. Include your main priorities and a budget range so the conversation starts with the work that matters most to you. Southern Craft Landscapes is based in Busselton, serving Dunsborough, Bunbury and the South West. Ask Tom for a free, no-obligation quote.
Can we plan before handover?
Yes. We can discuss your plans before handover, with access confirmed with your builder before any site work is arranged.
Can work be staged?
Discuss your priorities with Tom. The quote can set out the agreed scope and sequence for the proposed stages.
Do I need a full landscape plan?
No. Start with your ideas and practical needs, or share an existing landscape plan so Tom can discuss the proposed work.
