A proud member of The Landscape Association of South Australia (LASA) www.lasa.org.au About Landscape Association of South Australia The Landscape Association of South Australia (LASA) is the peak professional landscaping body in South Australia, dedicated to promoting professionalism and quality practices throughout the landscape industry. Our members are involved in trades, services, products, design, contracting and management in the landscape. Our professional members can work with you to generate direct benefits for your business or home by improving property value and creating a quality, modern lifestyle. Inspired, motivated & involved, is what guides Matthew Hattam and Garden Culture’s approach to garden design - construction & maintenance. and Matthew’s passion becomes yours, whether creating a potted green oasis, courtyard chic, an outdoor room you love to spend time in or a spacious haven where there is colour and interest all year round. You may be looking to the traditional, modern minimalist, water efficient or somewhere in between. Whatever the preference, Matthew’s approach is consultative. He can work with you so you share his knowledge and become part of an evolving process. He can also design, construct, plant and maintain your garden in it’s entirety within a rapid time frame or in stages. You’ll be delighted with Matthew’s energetic and youthful style, and amazed at his clever solutions. New and interesting, they are also likely to stand the test of time in gardening and garden design. Establishing a garden’s character, or culture, so that it has interest throughout, is a hallmark of Garden Culture’s style. This extends to inspirational plantings, including foliage, to achieve texture and form; imaginatively disguising problem areas: and introducing colour for just the right impact! And if it’s the unusual you’re after, Garden Culture is known for elements that surprise…. Garden Culture. Not just a culture….a style.

Since then the breadth of work has expanded but our landscape design methodology has basically stayed the same. It is our intention to create a Landscape Design Plan (Plan) for a client with the understanding that we also intend to install the work we designed. Our Plan will be delivered to the client with an estimate of cost proposal to install the work proposed after the proposed design has been agreed and paid for by the Client. For smaller scale projects we will usually complete the design proposal by the second visit with the Client. Larger scale projects may need several concept drawing edits and three or four more meetings with the Client prior to arriving at the final plan and proposed cost to install the Plan. If a client only wants a Landscape Design Plan and our Designers have the time we will complete a Landscape Design Plan for a fee. This fee will be determined after we know the scope of the work so we can fairly charge for our time spent developing the Plan. The design client can then take the Plan and install the work themselves or hire someone else. When we are initially contacted for design and/or installation work we will try to qualify the potential client over the telephone. If the Client and Garden Culture are willing to work together, we will then set up an initial site visit and consultation appointment ASAP with our Designer and all of the Client’s decision makers. There is no fee for the initial site visit and consultation. The initial site visit and consultation is usually 60 to 90 minutes long. Once we know the future client is interested in using our services we will determine a Landscape Design Plan fee for their project. Half of the design fee is due to us prior to starting any Design works. The balance of the design fee is due at the delivery of the final Plan. We ask that if possible, the Client provide us with any site Plans and surveys of the property at the initial site visit and consultation. The site Plans and surveys are very helpful for design plan layout and determining the scope. At the initial site visit and consultation the Designer will ask about what work the client wants and then listen to the client response. The Designer will make sure he/she understands the Client’s use and intention of the property, their likes & dislikes, their dreams, wants and desires. The main goal of the initial site visit and consultation is for the Designer and the Client to form a cohesive understanding of a design concept that combines the Client’s personal taste and style with plant varieties and hardscape materials appropriate to the site. At the completion of the initial site visit and consultation the Designer will schedule a second meeting with the Client. We may present a few design concepts at this second visit or we may be able to complete the design process depending on the scope and size of the proposed work. If possible we aim to complete the design process in three weeks for smaller projects. The design process may take several months for large projects. Once there is an agreement on the Landscape Design Plan and Installation Proposal with the Client to install the work an estimated time to confirm the quotation and installation is determined and a deposit is collected from the client.
