We install geotextile membranes and drain cells beneath turf and planters to prevent water stagnation, ensuring your space stays lush and usable even during the heavy Mumbai monsoons. Urban living often leaves us with small, overlooked patches of earth. We view these as opportunities to craft personal sanctuaries. Whether you have a villa in Alibag or a ground-floor apartment in Mumbai, our approach focuses on blending hardscape materials like Granite or Basalt stone with carefully layered tropical flora. ### The Design Process We start with precise site grading to ensure water runoff flows away from your living areas. Hardscaping is foundational here; we install granite pathways and stepping stones that withstand the elements. We then layer the planting strategy, mixing ground cover like Mexican Carpet Grass with focal trees. When the site permits, we bring in mature specimens using specialized equipment to provide immediate shade and maturity. ### Technical Precision A beautiful garden requires invisible support systems. Our ground-level installations feature automated drip irrigation grids connected to digital timers, meaning your garden thrives even when you are away. We also integrate IP65-rated waterproof lighting, transforming your courtyard into a space that invites you outdoors even after the sun sets. We walk you through every step, ensuring your green space complements your home’s architecture rather than competing with it. ## About Retiwallas We’re the Retiwallas, and we believe every patch of earth has a story to tell. We don't just landscape; we design environments where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature, whether it's a villa in Alibag or a courtyard in the city.
