Rated 5 stars on Google Reviews
No. Our entire design process works online. You provide photos, videos, measurements, and a design brief, and Kerry designs your garden remotely. Auckland clients can add an optional on-site consultation for $250.
Typically 4-6 weeks in total. Your draft design is usually ready 7-10 days after your pre-design chat, then one week for your revision. Kerry works with you at every stage.
Yes - that's the whole point of DIY Designs. Kerry's plans use off-the-shelf materials and accessible planting, designed so that hands-on Kiwis can do some or all of the work themselves. Or hand it straight to a landscaper.
All of our full-site plans include a scaled 2D CAD landscape plan, spatial layout, materials palette with sourcing links, plant ID photos, plant schedule with quantities and spacing, planting specifications, two screen-share sessions, one revision, and PDF delivery.
A useful guide is to spend approximately 10% of your property's overall value. Kerry's design plans start from $799 and are separate from construction costs - they give you a clear plan to get competitive quotes from contractors.
Kerry personally designs every plan and works with you through reviews to make sure you love the result. Contact her directly if you have any concerns - she is always happy to help even after your project is complete.
Yes - DIY Designs works online for clients anywhere in New Zealand. On-site Auckland consultations are also available as an add-on.
