Create your project brief

Request landscaping quotes.

We ask only what is useful at each stage. Your progress stays in this browser session.

What this form is for

This is a single structured brief, not seven separate forms — each screen builds on the last so that by the end you have covered location, project type, likely scope, size and site condition, budget and timing, and a written description of the outcome you want. That combination is usually enough for a landscaper to give a meaningful quote rather than a vague ballpark.

Answer with your best current understanding rather than waiting until everything is decided — a rough area, an approximate budget band and a general sense of timing are genuinely useful, and none of the fields here need to be exact. If you have already used one of the calculators, your inputs are carried across automatically so you are not answering the same questions twice.

Submitting this brief records it and gives you a reference number, but it does not commit you to anything. You are not signing a contract, and there is no obligation to proceed with any particular contractor as a result of requesting quotes through this form.

If you leave partway through, your answers are kept in this browser session, so coming back to finish the brief later won't mean starting over. Once you submit, keep your reference number — it's the easiest way to refer back to this specific request if you follow up on it.

None of the questions ahead need a perfect answer. If you're unsure of an exact area, a rough figure is genuinely useful; if your budget is still a range in your head rather than a fixed number, say so. A landscaper reading this brief would rather see an honest estimate flagged as approximate than a precise-looking number that turns out to be a guess.

Before you submit

Does submitting this form commit me to a project?

No. Submitting records your brief and gives you a reference number — it isn't a contract, and there's no obligation to proceed with any particular contractor as a result.

What happens to my details after I submit?

Your brief is recorded so it can inform relevant next steps; it isn't sold or used for anything beyond helping create a useful project brief. See our privacy policy for the full detail.

Can I attach photos of the site?

The description field is the place to describe access, drainage or level changes in writing — mention if photos would help and how you'd like to share them, and note it in your description.

Sources & methodology

What this brief does and doesn't do

Submitting this form creates a structured project brief and a reference number — it is not a contract, a quote, or a guarantee of contractor availability. Site-specific consent, drainage and boundary questions should still be verified with the relevant council or a qualified professional once you're comparing real quotes.
