We’re often asked similar questions when clients begin planning a landscape project. Below you’ll find answers covering process, costs, timelines, and what it’s like to work with Manna Landscapes.

Every project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand your site, how you want to use the space, and the architectural context.
From there, we develop a considered design that brings together layout, materials, and planting. Once resolved, the design transitions into construction, either with our team or in collaboration with your builder.
Yes. We provide a complete design and construction service, allowing projects to move seamlessly from concept through to delivery.
This approach ensures consistency, clarity, and a well-resolved outcome, with the same team involved throughout the entire process.
The earlier the better. Ideally, landscape design should be considered alongside the architecture of the home.
Early involvement allows the outdoor environment, pool, and built form to work together from the outset, rather than being treated as separate elements later.
Costs vary depending on the size of the site, level of detail, and scope of work.
As a general guide, most complete residential landscape projects range from $50,000 to $250,000+, particularly where design, construction, and features such as pools or outdoor structures are involved.
We provide detailed, transparent pricing following the design phase so you can move forward with clarity.
This depends on the outcome you’re looking to achieve.
Smaller upgrades can be completed at lower budgets, however full landscape transformations — particularly those involving new builds, pools, or structural elements — typically require a more considered investment.
We’re happy to guide you on realistic budget ranges early in the process.
Yes. Once the design is resolved, we provide a detailed construction proposal outlining scope, materials, and costs.
This ensures clarity before construction begins and avoids unexpected variations where possible.
Yes. Many of our projects are delivered alongside new home builds.
We regularly collaborate with builders and architects to ensure the landscape integrates seamlessly with the architecture and construction program.
Absolutely. We work across both new builds and established homes.
For existing gardens, we assess what can be retained, what should be refined, and how the space can be reconfigured to better suit your lifestyle.
Yes. Pool environments are a key part of many of our residential projects.
We design and deliver pool landscapes that balance structure, planting, and usability — creating spaces that feel cohesive and easy to live with.
Yes. We regularly partner with builders, developers, and consultants across commercial and civil landscape projects.
Our team understands how to integrate with broader project teams and deliver within structured programs.
Yes. We have experience delivering projects across a range of scales, including public spaces, education facilities, and mixed-use developments.
Our approach focuses on clarity, coordination, and long-term durability.
We can assist with documentation and liaise with consultants where required.
For projects requiring approvals or compliance, we ensure the landscape design aligns with relevant guidelines and planning controls.
Not all projects require approval, however certain elements — such as retaining walls, pools, or structures — may require council or certifier approval.
We can guide you through what’s required based on your specific site and scope.
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the project.
Design can take several weeks depending on revisions and approvals, while construction timelines typically range from a few weeks to several months.
We provide clear timeframes once the project scope is defined.
We can provide guidance on maintaining your landscape and, where required, connect you with ongoing maintenance solutions.
Our goal is to ensure your landscape continues to perform and evolve over time.
