The Design and Planning Process
Terrain, soil condition, climatic influences and budget are among the factors that influence the design, revision and estimating process. The latest computer aided design systems are used to ensure speed and accuracy. The resulting package is a thorough itemised proposal which typically contains a coloured concept plan, planting plan, perspective sketches, irrigation, lighting and drainage plans as well as detailed specifications and unitary prices inclued in final price.
Once the design project is approved, a comprehensive costing proposal is presented, itemising all material and labour requirements. The project is then carefully pre-planned to ensure that adequate stocks of the materials are available when required. A highly experienced supervisory team cooperates with architects, builders, project managers and other consultants to ensure that the design or project are interpreted and implemented correctly. Great attention we give to client target dates to form an agreed schedule for the work, which is periodically reviewed during the project in order that these dates are sucessfully met.

Landscaping services or Maintenance
For the landscaping project to achieve its full potential, it is essential that the correct maintenance programme is followed and supported with contract or on a consultation basis. In addition to regular maintenance, annual planting upgrades are discussed with the client and subsequent recommendations are made.
We have a policy of recycling garden waste whenever possible and practical by the reintroduction of the valuable organic compost back into the soil. All routine tasks are covered in the maintenance programme that includes: pruning, staking, lawn care, fertilizing, and correcting mineral deficiencies. Maintenance of water features and chemical treatments for pests, fungal infections and weeds are also carried out as required. Irrigation systems require periodic cleaning of electrical valves, filters, sprinklers and micro-jets and the seasonal re-programming of both irrigation and lighting controllers as necessary.

We can offer all types services you need.


Soft and Hard Landscaping
Initial works include ground shaping and preparation, importation of topsoil where required, siting of large specimen plants, drainage, ducting for lighting and irrigation below hard surfaces. Also included is the positioning of hard landscaping elements, such as water features, pergolas, gazebos, wooden decks, terraces, rockeries and pathways,roads,houses,walls,calcadas etc...
Once the irrigation system is completed, the soil is improved by the addition of organic and inorganic fertilizer to produce a balanced growing medium, prior to the planting phase. Grass may be seeded, planted or turfed and is tended until the first cut, then it becomes the responsibility of the maintenance team. Throughout the process careful attention is paid to both the original design and the planting plans is our principal offer.

Irrigation & Drainage
Factors such as plant species, climatic conditions, local drainage, the location of existing trees and both the availability and quality of water all influence the design of the irrigation system.
Detailed design, the specification of high quality equipment, the use of a variety of sprinkler types Rain Bird and Toro or Hunter (to ensure a high degree of accuracy) and correctly dimensioned individual elements (to maintain correct operating pressures) all combine to ensure effective distribution and economical use of water throughout the project. With awareness for the need to conserve precious resources an almost limitless degree of control can be brought to the system by the use of automated controllers, rain sensors, and sprinklers. The drainage system is as essential as the installation of a well designed irrigation system and is fundamental in ensuring healthy root growth by the removal of excess water amd the normal maintenance help so much in quality final.
