Garden & Landscape Development
Landscape Design & Garden Development
Concept to fully grown garden — designed, built and handed over alive.
What this service is
In plain terms.
Garden development is the conversion of bare or neglected land into a living, designed landscape. It begins with a reading of the site — soil, slope, sun path, wind, drainage, water availability and how people will actually move through the space — and ends with an established garden that survives its first monsoon and its first summer. Between those two points sit the master plan, earthwork and grading, soil amendment, plantation, lawns, hardscape, water features, landscape lighting and the irrigation that keeps all of it alive. What separates a real landscape contractor from a nursery supplier is that the garden is still thriving a year after handover.
Scope of work
What a standard engagement includes. Anything outside this is quoted separately and agreed in writing before it is executed.
How we execute it
From enquiry to handover.
Six defined stages. You always know which one you are in and what closes it.
Discovery & site reading
We walk the site with you, test soil pH and texture, map sun and shade, check water source and quality, and record how the space is used — before a single plant is proposed.
Concept & master plan
A zoned master plan with 2D layout and 3D views: entry statement, lawns, shade belts, activity areas, hardscape and water. Two concept options, then one refined plan.
BOQ & costed plan
Every plant by species, size and quantity; every hardscape item by area; irrigation and lighting by point. A line-item BOQ with no lump-sum guesswork.
Ground preparation
Debris removal, grading, drainage correction and soil amendment — the invisible 40% of the work that decides whether the garden lives.
Build — hard then soft
Hardscape, irrigation mains and lighting conduits go in first; then trees, shrubs, ground cover and lawns, in the right planting season.
Establishment & handover
Intensive care through the establishment period, plant replacement for failures, and a handover file with as-built layout, plant list, irrigation plan and maintenance calendar.

Before you commit
Questions buyers actually ask.
Answered directly, including where the honest answer is a qualification rather than a yes.
Both. We can take your architect's landscape drawing and execute it to specification, or produce the master plan, 3D views and planting schedule ourselves. Design and build under one contract removes the most common failure — a beautiful drawing that the site's soil and water cannot support.
