Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What We Do
Working Together
We plan, design and guide the delivery of outdoor spaces, big and small, from early ideas through to construction. Our work considers much more than planting alone. We look at the full picture like circulation, accessibility, drainage, grading, planting, built elements, walls, materials, privacy, visitor experience, operational needs and maintenance. We solve problems for our clients, and make things look good while doing so! See our work here.
At LINEA we are landscape architects, which means we’re formally trained and qualified (usually with a 5 year postgraduate degree and a professional registration) to design and deliver complex projects - including technical aspects of design such as levels, drainage, approvals and construction documentation. We don’t just design how a space looks, we coordinate with engineers, councils and contractors to make sure it’s approved and delivered properly. Landscape designers can certainly be a good fit for smaller or simpler projects, but if you're not sure, send us an email and we can have a chat about your project, and you can see some of the types of projects we've worked on here.
Our experience, training, passion and skillset enables us to work across all sorts of public and private project types, including:
Masterplanning (for local government, commercial or real estate developers)
Main streets and public realm upgrades (like recreation grounds, foreshores, nature-based infrastructure, tree planting strategies)
Tourism and hospitality projects (such as hotels, cellar doors, wellness retreats)
Land management strategies (like mixed use conservation/farming/agritourism sites)
Residences (typically larger or more complex sites)
We are located 2.5 hours from Adelaide, on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, but we work across Australia, and internationally. Our passion is regional places and that means sometimes in or near townships, and sometimes very remote. We love travelling to new places so get in touch here if you'd like to talk about your project. Or you can see the range of places we've worked in our portfolio.
If you've been looking at a few different landscape architects, it's likely we've all got a decent portfolio, some awards up our sleeve, and some pretty pictures. Here are a few reasons that might help...
At LINEA value-for-money sits at the centre of everything we do, and not just in our services, but in what gets built. Whether it’s a high-end private escape or a tight local government upgrade, our design decisions and processes stretch your investment further.
When you work with a small team of talented and experienced designers like us at LINEA, you avoid the huge overheads and you get a hands-on and personalised approach. You won't be paying Director fees in exchange for some poor little graduate slaving away on CAD in a multi-storey inner-city building.
And finally, you might have already noticed that we live and breathe regional places. This helps us better understand our projects and our clients, like how limited contractor options and resources, change resistance in small towns and tourism seasonality can affect your project. We design to suit the place, the people and the conditions - not to chase trends or awards.
There are many good ideas and great designers out there, but not every designer is right for every client, and vice versa. These working relationships can last for months and even years on more complex projects so get in touch if you think we're a good fit for you!
Want to know more about what we do as landscape architects, who we work with and what you can expect when you work with us? We've added some of the common questions we get (other than 'what tree is this?'), and if you've got one that we haven't answered then send us an email here.
