Garden Maintenance
Keep the new landscape looking like the handover photographs.

More than adding greenery.
Landscape design goes beyond just adding greenery. It blends nature with architecture to enhance the beauty, usability and value of any property. Done well, it transforms open spaces into harmonious environments that connect people with nature while reflecting their lifestyle and personality.
In practice that means starting from how the space will be used — where people walk, where they sit, what they see from the lobby window, what the building looks like from the gate — and letting the planting and the hardscape follow.
What a project covers
- Site survey and levels
- Concept and master planning
- Planting design and plant lists
- Lawns and turf establishment
- Pathways, paving and decks
- Water features and seating
- Irrigation and drainage
- Garden and facade lighting
- Soil preparation and conditioning
- Handover plus an ongoing AMC
Project types
Spaces we design.
01
Corporate campuses
Entrance forecourts, frontage lawns, courtyards and breakout gardens. The first thing a visiting client sees.
02
Residential & villas
Private gardens, terraces, courtyards and balconies, designed around how the family actually uses the outdoors.
03
Apartment communities
Common greens, play areas, walking loops and podium gardens that survive heavy daily use.
04
Hotels & resorts
Arrival sequences, pool surrounds and dining gardens built for photographs and for guests moving through at night.
05
Institutions
School, college and hospital grounds where safety, shade and low water consumption outrank ornament.
06
Industrial sites
Factory frontages and boundary planting that stay presentable on a minimal maintenance budget.
Process
From brief to handover.
Brief & survey
We walk the site, take levels, check soil, sun path, drainage and access, and agree a budget range.
Concept design
A layout with zones, circulation, planting character and hardscape materials for you to react to.
Detail & costing
Plant schedule, hardscape specification, irrigation and lighting layout, with an itemised cost.
Build & handover
Execution by our own teams, then handover with a care sheet and an optional maintenance contract.
Sustainability
Designed for the climate it sits in, not a brochure.
Sustainable is not a label we attach afterwards. It shows up in species selection suited to the local climate in each city, soil conditioning so beds hold moisture, drip irrigation instead of spray where it makes sense, mulching to cut evaporation, and shade planting positioned to actually reduce heat on the building.
A landscape that needs an unrealistic water budget to survive its first summer was badly designed, however good the render looked.
- Climate-appropriate and native-leaning plant palettes
- Drip irrigation with zone timers as the default
- Composting and mulching programmes from day one
- Rainwater routing and drainage planned with the levels
- Shade trees positioned for building heat gain, not just looks
Questions
Landscape design FAQs.
Do you do design only, or build as well?
Both, and we normally prefer to do both. Designs handed to a third-party contractor tend to lose exactly the details that made them work. If you already have a contractor, we can still take on the design.
How long does a project take?
A private garden is usually weeks; a campus landscape is months, and is often phased so areas come back into use progressively. We give a dated programme with the quote.
Can you work with our architect?
Yes, and the earlier the better. Levels, drainage and planter depths are far cheaper to get right on the drawing than after the slab is poured.
Will you maintain it afterwards?
Yes — and we recommend it. A new landscape is at its most vulnerable in its first year. Our maintenance contracts are built to take it through establishment.
We have a very tight budget. Is it worth asking?
Yes. Tell us the number up front and we will say honestly what it can buy — sometimes the right answer is to phase the work, or do one area properly rather than the whole site thinly.
