The Art for Garden franchise’s gardening and design service’s expenses

The Art for Gardens franchise is the dream child of Australia based landscape designer Eliza MacLennan whose passion for garden designing has resulted in the gallery cum showroom. The garden sculptor business offers a variety of garden ornamentation products as well as landscaping services to residential and small commercial projects. The gardening business charges for its design services individually depending upon the requirements and intricacies involved in the project.

The garden sculptor business provides its clients with the quotation for the total package on an hourly basis at the rate of $90 per hour along with a GST of 10%. The gardening business asses the site conditions and client requirements to create a scheme and time frame for the specific project. Art for Gardens charges about 10% of the construction fee as the design fee. Rates can be discussed based on the standard guidelines of the ‘Landscape Contractors Association’.

Design fees of the gardening business can be minimised by giving a detailed inspection of the site and providing the landscape designers with basic ideas and styles to be used, after consulting design books and magazines. Designers’ time on the site can be reduced by providing any base plan information about the site.
