What time of year is best to start my landscaping project?

Landscaping projects can be undertaken anytime throughout the year, however they are generally slower to complete during wetter months.  

Do we have to deal with/who deals with council permits?

Zones can coordinate the submission and obtaining of council permits.

What happens if we want to change the initial concept design?

Changes can be made at any stage.  The benefit of making changes during the design stage, is that they are far less expensive than during the build stage when labour and material changes can lead to budget blow outs.

What are the benefits of having a landscaping project manager?
