Florian Wild curates gardens which are experiential and evocative. We believe gardens should be emotive, they should resonate. We make outdoor spaces for respite, contemplation and enjoyment. Our work offers the opportunity to be present – to feel the mood we have shaped. Beauty, whimsy, fun. We experiment with the unexpected, aiming to make spaces feel new and unseen, while also comforting, familiar – even sentimental. Our landscapes speak to their locality, they draw inspiration from experience and memory to create spaces of substance.
Process
We provide landscape design services from our initial consultation through to detailed design specification, and finally, managing construction. We work collaboratively and as each project is different, our process is always informed by our client’s needs.
01
Consultation
We begin by understanding the wants and needs as well as examining the nuances of each site, before creating a tailored scope of works. Once we undertake a full site analysis, we commence with a schematic design, or concept. We conduct our own research, investigating all possible solutions (even those that that may be a little unexpected).
02
Landscape design
We conceive the style, language and layout of each garden space. Our approach is guided by our expertise in design and horticulture, our understanding of the brief and the context of each site. Our aim is always to create something that is not only crafted and evocative, but functional and sustainable. During this stage, we’ll provide presentation materials with accompanying imagery and renders to communicate our intent.
03
Detailed Design & Specification
Our completed design development package is the landscape master plan. It includes a surface and layout plan, planting plan, services plan and detailed drawings. A specifications schedule is incorporated according to the requirements of each project. We are also experienced in the submission of landscape plans for council planning applications and can facilitate the appointment of any consultants that may be required including arborists and surveyors.
04
Management
We are passionate about what we do, so we love to see our projects through from concept to completion. This may mean sourcing or procuring plants and materials, or even helping appoint the right contractors for construction. We can assist with the tender process and provide recommendations of our preferred partner suppliers and also provide ongoing horticultural services, such as tree reports, management plans, maintenance recommendations and irrigation evaluation.
05
Aftercare - Maintenance
A garden is an ever-changing asset. As part of our ongoing commitment to the development of our gardens, we offer after-care services. This service includes seasonal visits by our design team. This is intended to provide you with ongoing support in the garden’s infancy to ensure it develops as intended. Florian Wild offers regular maintenance services for our gardens. Maintenance by our dedicated team provides for the garden to develop as intended, while also allowing further curation during that period.
06
Aftercare - Pool Fence Certification
Under Victorian law, pool and spa owners must re-inspect their pool barriers every four years and lodge a valid Certificate of Barrier Compliance with their local council. Our Pool Safety Barrier Inspection Service provides a thorough safety assessment by our VBA approved inspector of your pool and/or spa barrier. Our service ensures that your pool barrier continues to comply with the relevant Regulations and Australian Standards, offering peace of mind and ongoing safety for your property.
