Nature-Inspired Landscape Design Online.
Thoughtful, affordable landscape design through a simple online process.
Whether you're redesigning a backyard, planning a lifestyle property, or creating an entirely new garden, expert design advice is only a few clicks away.
THE BY NATURE DIFFERENCE
Great design should be accessible.
Traditional landscape design often involves multiple site visits, travel costs, and high fees.
At By Nature Studio, we've simplified the process.
By gathering information online through photographs, measurements, property plans, and video consultations, professional landscape design becomes more accessible, more affordable, and available no matter where you live.
The result is the same thoughtful design process—without unnecessary costs.

HOW ONLINE LANDSCAPE DESIGN WORKS
Simple. Collaborative. Effective.
Step 1 — Tell Me About Your Project
Complete the enquiry form and share a little about your property and goals.
Step 2 — Upload Photos & Information
You'll receive a simple guide showing exactly what information is required.
This may include:
Site photographs
Basic measurements
Property plans (if available)
Inspiration images
Don't worry if you don't have everything. Most clients don't when they start.
Step 3 — Online Consultation
We'll discuss your property, challenges, ideas, and opportunities via video call.
Step 4 — Design Development
Your landscape is designed using the information provided, your goals, and professional design expertise.
Additional information can be requested during the process if needed.
Step 5 — Receive Your Design Package
You'll receive your completed design package digitally, ready to guide your project.
WORRIED ABOUT MEASURING YOUR PROPERTY?
You're not expected to be a surveyor.
Most clients have never measured a garden before.
That's completely normal.
You'll receive a simple information guide explaining what photographs and measurements are helpful, and I can often obtain additional information from publicly available property records, aerial imagery, and council mapping systems.
The goal isn't perfection—it's gathering enough information to create an accurate and effective design.
Thousands of design projects are completed remotely every year. With photographs, measurements, aerial imagery, and online consultations, professional landscape design can be delivered accurately anywhere in New Zealand.
