Start with conditions
Sun, wind, soil, drainage, root competition, and reflected heat decide what will perform.
Plants for residential gardens should be chosen for the life of the garden.
Good planting is not a shopping list. It is structure, shade, privacy, seasonal interest, maintenance, soil, water, and how the garden should feel from the home.

Planting gives the landscape its atmosphere and long-term value.
Hardscape creates structure, but planting makes the garden feel alive. ReScape selects planting around architecture, shade, privacy, soil, water, maintenance comfort, and changing views.
What to plan before you build
Build layers
Canopy, screening, mid-level structure, groundcover, and texture make a garden feel full.
Repeat before adding
Repeating fewer plants usually feels calmer and more premium.
Plan maintenance honestly
A planting design should match the homeowner's real maintenance comfort.
A practical ReScape pathway
The goal is a clearer design, a more realistic scope, and fewer surprises when trades arrive.
Brief
Start with how you want to live outside and the best way to reach you. Add property or project details only if they are useful at this stage.
Design direction
ReScape develops layout, planting, material, privacy, and outdoor living decisions into a clearer design direction with 3D support where useful.
Scope
The design becomes a more practical scope so trades, suppliers, staging, and quote decisions can be discussed with fewer assumptions.
Residential planting should make the garden cooler, softer, more private, and more connected to the home over time.

Useful answers before the first meeting.
Do I need the whole project figured out first?
No. Most homeowners start with a rough brief, a difficult space, or saved images. ReScape helps turn that into a practical design direction.
Can ReScape provide 3D visuals?
Yes. 3D visualisation helps homeowners understand scale, materials, planting, pool zones, and the feeling of the finished space.
