LANDSCAPE DESIGN · PRIVATE GARDENS

A garden designed to grow with the life you live in it.

A private garden should feel like an extension of the home — shaped around how you live, the climate it belongs to, and the landscape around it.

THE IDEA

The garden as a room without walls.

A private garden should be designed around the life of the family that uses it — meals outside, children’s play, morning walks, weekend gatherings, a kitchen garden, or simply a quiet place to sit.

01
LIFE
Spaces for gathering, relaxing and everyday rituals.
02
CLIMATE
Planting and materials suited to the local environment.
03
CONNECTION
A seamless relationship between home, garden and surroundings.

SPACES THAT FEEL NATURAL

Thoughtfully designed.
Naturally lived in.

We bring together planting, hardscape, water, lighting and spatial planning to create gardens that feel complete — calm, layered and connected to the home.

SPATIAL PLANNING
Zoning for different uses and experiences.
PLANTING DESIGN
Layered trees, shrubs, groundcovers and seasonal planting.
HARDSCAPE INTEGRATION
Paths, terraces, retaining walls and outdoor spaces.
IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
Designed around the site and Bangalore’s monsoon conditions.

The garden should feel like part of the home.

We design gardens as an extension of your living space — balancing beauty, function, climate and long-term growth.

MATERIALS, PLANTING & DETAIL

Elements that come together beautifully.

A successful private garden is not only about plants. Paths, stone, soil, water, drainage, lighting and planting must work together as one landscape.

01   PLANTING
Native and adapted species for lasting gardens.
Residential garden pathway where architecture, hardscape and planting work together
02   NATURAL MATERIALS
Stone, laterite, timber and textured finishes.
Portuguese colonial-style courtyard with arches, distinctly Goan architecture
03   WATER & DRAINAGE
Integrated systems designed for function and restraint.
04   LIGHTING
Subtle lighting that extends the garden into evening.

Every garden belongs to its climate.

BANGALORE
Designed around Deccan climate, seasonal rainfall, red soil and changing light. We work across Whitefield, Koramangala, Sadashivanagar, Jayanagar and Yelahanka, managing dense, slow-draining laterite soil through amendment and thoughtful plant selection.
GOA
Designed around tropical conditions, different soil behaviour and coastal climate — calling for different planting, materials and weathering considerations than a Bangalore garden.

HOW IT WORKS

From first visit to finished garden.

01
SURVEY
Understand the site, soil, light, existing trees, drainage and how the garden connects to the home.
02
CONCEPT
Develop spatial planning, planting direction, materials and the overall character of the garden.
03
DETAIL
Develop planting plans, plant schedules, hardscape details and technical coordination.
04
ESTABLISH
Coordinate implementation, supervise key stages and support the garden through its establishment.

01 — Site Survey & Brief. We begin with a detailed site visit — assessing soil type, drainage, sun exposure at different times of day, existing planting worth retaining, and the relationship between the garden and the interior spaces it is seen from. We then develop a written brief with you that sets out exactly what the garden needs to do: how you use it, who uses it, what maintenance commitment you are comfortable with, and what you love and dislike in other gardens.

02 — Concept Design. We present one or two design directions — spatial plans, planting approach, material palette, and mood imagery — and discuss these with you in detail. This is the creative phase, where the broad character of the garden is established. We refine the preferred direction until you are fully confident in the concept before moving to detailed design.

03 — Detailed Design & Plant Specification. The approved concept becomes a complete set of working documents: a scaled planting plan, a full plant schedule with species, sizes, quantities and sourcing guidance, material specifications for hardscape and structures, and a planting notes document explaining the logic and maintenance requirements of every plant we have specified.

04 — Contractor & Nursery Engagement. We work with established contractors and nurseries in Bangalore and Goa whom we have vetted over years of projects. We do not take commission from any supplier — our recommendations are based entirely on quality and reliability. We obtain quotes on your behalf, assess them, and advise you on selection. You engage contractors directly; we manage the scope on your behalf.

05 — Implementation Supervision. We visit the site at key stages during implementation to ensure work is proceeding to our drawings and specifications. Hardscape is checked before planting begins. Planting positions are marked and reviewed before plants go in. We are available to answer contractor queries and resolve issues as they arise — without involving you in every small decision.

06 — Establishment & Handover. The six weeks after planting are the most critical. We monitor the establishment of the garden, make any necessary replacements, and adjust watering schedules. At handover, you receive a complete maintenance guide — seasonal tasks, species-specific care notes, and guidance for the first full year. The garden is designed to reward you for years. We make sure it starts well.

A garden made for the way you actually live outside.

Let’s create an outdoor space that grows more beautiful with time.

FAQ

Common questions.

Design fees are project-specific and depend on the size and complexity of the garden. We charge a flat design fee — not a percentage of construction cost, and no commission on plants, materials, or contractors. This means our specifications are driven by what is best for your garden, not what earns us the most. We are transparent about fees from our first conversation.
The design phase typically takes four to eight weeks — site survey, concept design, your feedback, final drawings. Implementation varies widely: a small Bangalore villa garden can be planted in a week; a larger project with hardscape, water features, and custom elements may take three to four months. We give a realistic programme at the start of every project.
Style is a secondary concern. The primary questions are: how does water drain through the site, what light does each area receive, and which species will genuinely thrive here rather than just survive? Native and adapted plants — species that have evolved for or proven themselves in Deccan conditions — form the backbone of every garden we plant. Within that framework, the aesthetic can be formal, naturalistic, tropical, or restrained, depending on your preference and the architecture of the house.
Yes. Many of our projects are established gardens that need rethinking rather than blank sites. We survey what is already there — mature trees, existing hardscape, soil condition — and design around what is worth keeping, replacing only what genuinely needs to change.
Every private garden project includes irrigation recommendations designed around the site and Bangalore’s monsoon conditions, alongside a complete planting plan, hardscape and pathway design, and a maintenance brief.
Yes. Where relevant, we incorporate hardscape and pathway design, water features and outdoor lighting directly into the garden design, so every element of the landscape works together as one considered plan.
