About Our Process & Plant Varieties
When we start a project, we prioritize plants that survive Delhi’s temperature swings. We skip delicate varieties that require constant fussing, focusing instead on hardy options like Snake Plants, Areca Palms, and bamboo. Our process involves a site visit to assess sunlight and space, followed by installing lightweight, weather-resistant fiberglass planters that ensure your garden stays healthy without demanding hours of your time each week.
Our Approach to Green Spaces
We follow a straightforward methodology for every project, whether it is a small balcony in South Delhi or a large office terrace in Noida. We focus on longevity, ensuring that the plants selected match the specific micro-climate of your area.
The Consultation and Design Phase
It starts with a conversation. We visit your site to understand the light conditions, wind exposure, and your usage patterns. We do not apply a standard template to every home; instead, we measure the area and discuss which plants fit your maintenance bandwidth. If you want a zero-effort garden, we lean toward succulents and sturdy palms. If you enjoy gardening, we incorporate seasonal flowers that provide a splash of color.
Plant Selection and Hardscaping
We use plants known for their resilience in urban environments, such as:
- Air-purifying varieties: Snake Plants and Areca Palms for cleaner indoor air.
- Privacy screening: Bamboo and taller palms to block noise and create boundaries.
- Low-maintenance foliage: Philodendrons and Pothos for vertical gardens.
For hardscaping, we use fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) planters. They are durable, weather-resistant, and lighter than concrete, making them suitable for apartment balconies and rooftops where weight limits matter. We also integrate drip irrigation systems for vertical walls to ensure consistent moisture without manual watering.
Ongoing Maintenance
Many clients worry that a garden will turn brown after a few months. Our maintenance service includes regular visits where our team checks soil health, prunes dead foliage, and ensures the drip systems are functioning. We want your space to remain green throughout the year, not just on the day of installation.
