How it works

A clear path from first ideas to a finished landscape.

You do not need to understand every step before you begin. Epic guides the project forward, makes the next decision clear and keeps the journey connected — from the first conversation to seeing the landscape built.

Before design begins

A simple way to find out whether Epic is the right fit.

You do not need to arrive with a complete brief. Start by sharing what you know about the site and what you would like the outdoor space to become.

01

Tell us about your project

Select “Tell us about your project” to complete a short enquiry form and share a little about the outdoor space, the project’s starting point and what you hope to create.

02

Have an initial phone call

Epic calls you to learn more about the project, ask focused questions about the site, your priorities and what you are planning, and explain how Epic can help and what should happen next.

03

Visit the site

Where a site visit will help, Epic meets you at the property to understand the space firsthand.

04

Receive the fee proposal

You receive a clear proposal setting out the recommended scope, professional fee and what happens next.

The landscape journey

Six stages. One connected direction.

The fee proposal confirms which services are included for your project. At every stage, the aim is the same: a clear decision, a practical next step and a landscape that remains connected to the original vision.

01

What are we creating together?

Understand

Epic learns how you want to live outside, what matters most and how the site currently works. The priorities, opportunities and site considerations become a shared starting brief.

What becomes clear

The project brief and the direction for the next stage.

02

What could the space become?

Explore

Ideas are tested against the site, the way you want to use it and the practical realities of the project. Epic brings the preferred direction together in a design direction pack, giving you a clear visual idea before the detailed design begins.

What becomes clear

The look, feel and broad spatial direction.

03

How will the landscape look and work?

Design

The landscape takes shape through plans and visual material. Client input is brought into the process so the design can be understood, considered and refined.

What becomes clear

A resolved landscape design that everyone can understand.

04

What needs to be ready before construction?

Prepare

The design is developed into the documentation needed for pricing and construction. Where approvals are required, Epic manages the appropriate approval process.

What becomes clear

What needs to be priced, approved and prepared for the build.

05

Who should bring the design to life?

Engage

Epic coordinates contractor tendering and quotation, and brings together the landscape contractors, suppliers, certifiers and specialists the project requires.

What becomes clear

The right team, the pricing and the path into construction.

06

How does the design become the finished landscape?

Build

Epic manages the design through construction, coordinates decisions and resolves practical site matters as the landscape takes shape.

What becomes clear

How the design intent is carried through on site.
