About Behind the Scenes: Our Process & Team
You often see the serene, final result of a garden, but getting there is rarely quiet. Whether it is hoisting a 100kg mature tree up a high-rise with a crane or cleaning each leaf by hand before handover, we handle every logistical challenge on-site. Our team stays hands-on during every installation, ensuring the specialized soil mix, drainage, and placement are perfect from the very first day.
Building a 'jungle in the sky' or a sprawling farmhouse retreat is not just about choosing the right plants. It is a process of precise engineering and constant, mud-filled labor.
The Logistics of Green
When we take on a project in a high-rise apartment, the biggest constraint is usually accessibility. Getting large-specimen plants or mature trees up service elevators or narrow staircases is where our real work begins. We utilize hydraulic trolleys and safety harnesses to move 100kg+ units into position without damaging your home or the plant.
Perfectionist Standards
Komal is the eagle-eyed perfectionist of the duo. Before any plant leaves our nursery or is placed in your home, it undergoes a strict quality check. We do not just drop off pots; we prune, polish leaves, and surface-dress with bark chips or moss. If we are planting in a villa, we treat the ground soil with anti-termite measures and organic fertilizers to ensure long-term survival, not just instant gratification.
Our Team: The Power Squad
Our team is the soul of everything we do. From the hectic days leading up to Diwali to unexpected rain on installation day, they are the ones grinning through the effort. We believe that plants thrive in a community, and so do we. When you hire Plant People, you get a dedicated crew that cares as much about the final look of your balcony or terrace as you do. We take care of our team, and in return, they ensure that every leaf is placed exactly where it needs to be for maximum impact.
Plant People
We are Komal and Angud, the hands and hearts behind Plant People. We treat every balcony and garden like our own, which is why you will usually find us covered in mud, checking every leaf, and grinning through the heavy lifting. We believe peace can grow anywhere if you let it, and we are here to help you build that green haven.
