Our Design & Landscaping Services

🌳 Garden Design & Master Planning

We deliver comprehensive garden design services from concept through to detailed planting and construction plans. Whether you require a full master plan for a large estate or a focused redesign of a city courtyard, our process is thorough and deeply collaborative. We begin with detailed site survey and analysis — assessing soil, aspect, drainage, existing planting, and structural features. Concept designs are developed to reflect your vision and the character of the space, supported by hand-drawn sketches, CAD plans, and 3D visualisations. Final design packages include planting schedules, material specifications, and construction drawings suitable for contractor tender. Our expertise spans formal and informal garden styles, contemporary minimalism, cottage and naturalistic planting, productive kitchen gardens, and architectural garden spaces. Every plan balances beauty, functionality, ecological value, and long-term manageability — ensuring the garden you receive is one you can genuinely love and live within for years to come.

🏙️ Urban Greening & Green Infrastructure

Our urban greening team designs and installs green roofs, vertical gardens, living walls, and biodiverse planting schemes for commercial, residential, and public sector clients across the Paris metropolitan area. We work at all scales — from a single living wall panel in a restaurant interior to multi-hectare green roof installations on large residential developments. Our designs integrate structural engineering, waterproofing, irrigation, and substrate specification as a unified system, delivered in close coordination with architects and building engineers. We are experienced in specifying sedum and wildflower extensive green roofs, semi-intensive amenity rooftop gardens, and fully intensive roof terraces with trees, lawns, and feature planting. Living wall systems are selected based on long-term plant performance, irrigation efficiency, and visual impact — using modular felt pocket, tray, or hydroponic systems depending on the application. All urban green installations include commissioning and maintenance programme documentation.

💧 Water Features & Garden Structures

Water is among the most transformative elements in garden design — adding movement, sound, reflection, and ecological value to any space. Our water feature specialists design and install ponds, rill channels, fountains, cascade waterfalls, and naturalistic swimming ponds across residential and commercial projects. We work with hydraulic engineers and specialist water garden contractors to deliver technically precise and visually stunning results. Natural swimming ponds use biological filtration — aquatic plants and beneficial bacteria — to maintain crystal-clear water without chemicals, creating a bathing environment that also supports amphibians, dragonflies, and aquatic biodiversity. Formal reflecting pools and rill channels are specified with precision stonework, high-quality liners, and discreet circulation systems. Garden structures — including pergolas, pavilions, arbours, raised planters, and custom boundary walls — are designed as integral parts of the garden composition, using quality hardwoods, Corten steel, natural stone, and contemporary composite materials as appropriate.

🌾 Ecological & Naturalistic Planting

As awareness of biodiversity loss and ecological crisis grows, demand for ecologically sensitive garden design has never been higher. Our ecological planting service creates beautiful, functional plant communities that mimic natural habitats — supporting insects, birds, and soil organisms while reducing maintenance requirements and water demand. We design wildflower meadows, prairie-style perennial plantings, native woodland gardens, rain gardens, and pollinator corridors using species selected for both beauty and ecological function. Our plant communities are structured in layers — canopy trees, understory shrubs, herbaceous perennials, ground cover, and bulbs — creating visual interest across all seasons while maximising biodiversity value. We use only peat-free growing media and source plants from nurseries committed to responsible production. Ecological gardens require different maintenance approaches — cutting regimes rather than mowing, minimal intervention — and we provide full aftercare guidance to ensure these landscapes perform and develop as intended over the long term.

🪨 Hard Landscaping & Terracing

The structural bones of a garden — its paths, terraces, walls, steps, and paved areas — define how a space functions and flows. Our hard landscaping team designs and constructs bespoke outdoor structures using natural stone, porcelain tile, reclaimed brick, timber decking, gravel, and contemporary permeable paving systems. We handle complex terraced gardens on sloping sites, specifying appropriate retaining wall structures, drainage systems, and step construction to ensure safety and longevity. Terrace and patio design considers orientation, privacy, access from the home, furniture placement, and evening lighting — creating outdoor living spaces that extend the interior of the home into the garden. All hard landscaping work is carried out by experienced craftsmen using quality materials with full structural guarantees. We manage planning applications for structures requiring consent and coordinate with structural engineers for retaining walls above threshold heights. Our complete hard landscaping projects are designed to last decades without significant maintenance.

🔧 Aftercare & Maintenance Programmes

A beautifully designed garden requires consistent, knowledgeable care to reach its full potential. Our aftercare and maintenance programmes are designed specifically for each garden we create, based on its planting composition, soil type, seasonal requirements, and client preferences. Monthly or seasonal maintenance visits are carried out by our trained horticultural team — not general gardeners — ensuring every task from pruning and feeding to seasonal replanting and lawn care is executed with botanical precision. We offer full-service maintenance contracts covering all garden tasks, or targeted programmes focusing on specific areas such as rose care, topiary maintenance, water garden management, or meadow cutting regimes. Clients receive detailed seasonal reports outlining work completed, observations on plant performance, and recommendations for the coming season. Our maintenance service is available exclusively to clients whose gardens we have designed and installed, ensuring continuity of care and deep familiarity with each unique space. Annual design review consultations are also available to assess evolution and plan future development.
