Site assessments
We offer a range of services for clients including prepurchase assessments to determine suitability of a proposed purchase of land. Before you invest in one of the biggest purchases you will probably make, get some sound permaculture advice from Rick Coleman. He will walk and talk with you about the potential of the property to achieve your goals, point out the most appropriate places for a house, driveway, dams or crops, or if a house exists, where to place water tanks, gardens and other elements for maximum productivity.
If you have already purchased your dream block, and want to confidently know where to start your permaculture implementation, Rick will help you realize the true potential of your land to be productive and sustainable.
Our prices start from $350 for local consultations (within 50km radius) to $450 within 2 hours drive. Rick is happy to consult further afield and will negotiate a travel fee.
