Generally no, as we require our key stock for ongoing rentals. Feel free to contact us anyway to enquire, as there are some plants we may be happy to sell. Their sale price would be additional to the rental rate.
Can we buy any of the plants at the end of our contract period?
What if some of the plants are stolen?
Our rented plants are your responsibility between the times of delivery and pick up. Saying this, to date we have had only two small incidents of theft in over 2,000 contracts. If you are at all concerned please let us know, and we can find a solution eg.
Can we extend the rental period if the property fails to sell at auction?
Of course. The normal contract period is 4weeks, plus an extra 2 weeks free of charge if the property hasn't sold (total of 6 weeks). Therefore extensions (in weekly blocks) after the 6 weeks are finished, are charged by the week at 25% of the 4 week rental cost only (pick-up is already paid).
We are not living at the property. Can you arrange to have the plants watered?
Yes. We provide a watering service for absent owners. Ideally our team is provided a spare key for the rental duration (if not accessible without a key), or access via a concierge. The fee for this service would depend upon the property location, ease of access, season of the year & what type of plants are installed.
I am not a gardener, how often do I need to water the plants?
Our plants have different requirements depending on their species, their position at your property, and also the time of year they are installed. We will provide you with specific instructions at time of confirmation.
General guidelines are:
Indoor - large plants - 2L every 2 weeks or as directed.
What are the costs for delivery and installation?
For property styling installs we deliver Monday to Friday, generally between 10am and 3pm. For event installs we can deliver & collect anytime.
Our quotes show an itemised cost for delivery and installation. This includes delivery, plant placement & collection at the contract end.
What can we expect to pay for your services?
Property styling - 4-6weeks* plant rental (including delivery, install & collection - metro Sydney)
Every property is different...but as a general guide installations range from between $800 to $1500inc GST. The cost for larger and more expensive homes sometimes needs upwards of $2000-3000. This may include a combination of plant rental, permanent planting of new shrubs or annuals and garden clean-up services (weeding, trimming, pressure water cleaning), and delivery.
Do we have to accept the plants after installation?
Property Styling plant rental - We understand its sometimes hard to visualise how all our plants are going to look once setup at your property, especially when combined with stylist's furniture too. Our installed plants are suggestions and demonstrations only, and all are optional at the time of installation.
How long will the rental period be?
Property sale styling -
Our minimum rental period is 4-6weeks*. This is to accommodate the recommended 4-week pre-auction and allow for photographers to film the home and garden at its best BEFORE the first inspection.
*4-6 weeks - the min. rental period is 4 weeks (so if you sell during this period you will need to contact us to arrange to collect our plants asap). No refund is provided for any unused portion of the 4 weeks.
