Space and shape
The size of the plot, its boundaries and how the house sits on it decide where lawn, paths and seating can go.

Landscape development
Landscapes, made to belong
A complete landscape brings together lawns, planting, pathways, shade and places to sit. We shape each part around your plot, your home and the way you want to use the outdoors.
We design the space before we build it, so you can see and refine the plan first. This page explains what we look at and what you can expect at each step.

From bare ground to breathing space
See the garden take shape
Drag the sunlit marker across the image to reveal the transformation. Every project starts with the character of its own site.
Step one
Start with your site
Six things shape every landscape. We look at all of them during the first site visit.
Levels and soil
Slopes, levels and the condition of the soil affect how we shape beds, lay lawn and plan planting.
Drainage and water
Rain and irrigation water need a clear way out. We plan drainage and water points before planting begins.
Sun, shade and wind
Hours of sun and exposure to wind guide plant choices and the best spots for seating and shade.
Existing trees and plants
Healthy trees and plants are worth keeping. We design around them wherever it makes sense.
Access and services
Entry points, boundary walls, utilities and how materials reach the site all shape the plan and the schedule.
Step two
A landscape planned around you
We start with how you want to spend time outside, then bring together planting, paths and places to gather.
Talk through your ideasA welcoming entrance
Front yard planting and pathways that give the home a warm first impression.
Open green space
Lawn and beds sized for children, pets, morning tea and weekend family time.
Places to sit
Seating, shade and pergolas placed where the light and views are best.
An inviting evening
Lighting and focal points, such as water or stone, that make the garden enjoyable after sunset.
Step three
What we can create
Most projects combine several of these. We help you choose the mix that suits your space.
Front yard landscaping
Planting, lawn and paths that add charm and curb appeal to the entrance.
Best for: homes and villas with a front gardenBackyard gardens
Private green spaces with lawn, planting beds and seating for family time.
Best for: homes with a rear or side yardLawns and plantation
Lawn laying, shrubs, trees and flower beds, planned for your sun and climate.
Best for: plots that need greenery from the startPathways and stonework
Paths, stepping stones and edging that guide movement and frame the planting.
Best for: gardens that need clear routesShade and shelter
Pergolas, cabanas, pavilions and gazebos for comfortable time outdoors.
Best for: families who want a sheltered seating areaWater and vertical features
Water features add calm, and vertical gardens add greenery where floor space is limited.
Best for: gardens that need a focal pointLearn more about pergolas and patio cabins, pathways and stone, water features and Japanese and vertical gardens.
Step four
Planting that suits your site
These are examples we commonly consider. The final list depends on your sun, soil, city and how much upkeep you want.
Lawn and ground cover
Natural lawn grass, ornamental grasses, lantana and other low plants that cover soil and soften edges.
Shrubs and hedges
Hibiscus, ixora, bougainvillea, duranta and bamboo for privacy, structure and colour.
Trees and palms
Champa, bottle palm, ashoka and fruit trees such as guava or lemon, placed where they have room to grow.
Flower beds
Roses, jasmine, chrysanthemum, marigold and seasonal flowers for colour through the year.
Tip: we choose plants that suit your local climate and the upkeep time you have, and we keep large trees clear of boundary walls, drains and the house foundation.

How we work
From first call to finished garden
-
1
Conversation
You tell us how you want to use the space, your budget range and how much upkeep you want to take on.
-
2
Site visit
We look at the plot, levels, soil, drainage, sun, existing plants and access, then take measurements.
-
3
Design
You review a layout showing lawn, planting, paths, seating, lighting and materials, and we refine it with you.
-
4
Groundwork
Levelling, soil preparation, drainage and irrigation lines go in before any planting.
-
5
Build and plant
Hardscape, lawn, trees, shrubs and flower beds are installed in sequence, with lighting and features.
-
6
Handover
We walk you through watering, feeding and seasonal care, and stay available for guidance and on-site maintenance.
Budget and timing
What shapes the cost and timeline
Every site is different, so we quote after seeing it. These are the factors that move the number.
- Area and shape Larger or more complex plots need more materials, plants and time.
- Site condition Levelling, soil improvement and drainage work add to the scope.
- Hardscape Stone paths, pergolas, cabins and water features carry the largest price differences.
- Planting choices Mature trees and ready lawn usually cost more than young plants and seed or small turf.
- Irrigation and lighting Automation saves effort later and is best planned from the start.
- Season Planting does best in mild weather, so we plan the build around it.
Before you call
Helpful things to have ready
- Approximate plot size and which area you want landscaped
- Photos or a short video of the site
- Existing drawings or layout plans, if available
- How you want to use the space and who will use it
- Your preferred budget range and timeline
- Existing trees, plants or features you want to keep
Do you work on both front yards and backyards?
Yes. We design front yards for curb appeal and backyards for everyday use, and we can plan both so they feel like one landscape.
Can you keep my existing trees and plants?
Where they are healthy and suit the new layout, yes. We note them during the site visit and design around them.
Do I see a design before work begins?
Yes. We design the space before we build it. You review the layout with planting, materials and features, and we refine it with you.
Can you plan drainage and irrigation?
Yes. We plan drainage and water points as part of the groundwork, and we can suggest drip irrigation to keep watering simple.
Can I add a pergola, water feature or pathway later?
Yes. We can leave room in the plan for features you want to add later, so the garden still feels complete.
How much upkeep will it need?
That depends on your choices. Hardy planting and drip irrigation keep care light. We guide you at handover and can help with on-site maintenance.
How long does a landscape project take?
It depends on size, site condition and the features you choose. We share a clear timeline with the quote.
Do you work outside Delhi?
We have offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Chandigarh and work with clients across India. Tell us your location and we will confirm how we can help.
