About Private Gardens & Lush Courtyards
Most folks think a garden is just about adding grass and a few shrubs. We look at it differently by assessing your specific microclimate—sun path, soil quality, and wind patterns—before we even touch a plant. Whether you want a low-maintenance minimalist setup or a lush, maximalist jungle, our design ensures the plants actually thrive rather than just looking good for a month.
Beyond Basic Landscaping
We don't just fill space with greenery. Our approach starts with a site analysis where we study the ground, the light, and the local ecosystem. At our Legacy Cirocco site, for instance, we carefully selected a mix of Philodendron 'Moonshine' and 'Red Congo' not just for their look, but for the specific texture and color contrast they brought to the pathway.
The 'Maximalist' vs 'Minimalist' Debate
Some clients come to us wanting neat lines and clean paving—that is where our minimalist design approach excels, using focal lighting and strategic hardscaping. Others want an abundance of life, and that is where we lean into maximalism. We often incorporate over 70 unique plant species in a single project to create layers of color and form that evolve through the seasons.
Designing for the Local Climate
Whether we are working on a coffee plantation site in Sakleshpur or a residential courtyard in Bangalore, we prioritize plants that belong there. We use native flora where possible, ensuring that your garden is a symbiotic, living environment that doesn't require constant, artificial intervention to survive.
