About Residential Garden & Landscape Design
Making Home Feel Alive with Greenery
At Rutu Greenscapes, we see every home as a blank canvas. Whether you’ve got a cramped balcony, a lost corner under the stairs, or a proper backyard, I know how much a bit of greenery can change things. There’s something real about coming home to fresh air, soft grass, and a splash of colour - makes you just want to breathe deeper.
Our Approach
- We turn balconies and terraces into cozy hangout spots, using artificial grass, wooden decks, and a mix of flowering plants. If space is tight, indoor vertical gardens work wonders.
- Backyards and frontyards get a proper makeover, with lawns (natural or fake, up to you), stepping stones, and trees placed just right for that "I’m in a park" feel.
- Even indoors, we sneak in green pockets - on window sills, in courtyards, wherever there’s a bit of light.
More Than Just Plants
- Love a theme? We do Zen gardens for meditation or tropical setups if you want vacation vibes at home.
- Water features like bio-ponds or small waterfalls add a chill sound and look to the place.
How We Work
- It’s always a chat first. You talk, I listen.
- I’ll show you designs, tweak them, then my team gets going.
- You end up with a space that feels totally different, without any faff or fuss.
If you want low-maintenance home landscaping or just small space garden solutions, I’m here to help you make green a part of everyday life.
