LandscapingNature Reimagined
Tropical planting, stone driveways, swimming pools, and sit-outs, designed to hold up well in Kerala's weather.
We treat the garden as another room of the house. Our landscaping is planned to leave the land healthier than we found it.
Planting with structure
We choose plants with strong shapes that suit the lines of your building.
Indoors to outdoors
Rooms open onto the garden with no awkward break in levels, materials, or views.
Low-care gardens
We plant mixed groups of local species, so the garden needs less upkeep and fills out year by year.
Gardens engineered for the monsoon.
We design outdoor spaces around the natural slope and drainage of the site. Kerala's monsoon calls for engineered drainage and plants that can handle both high humidity and hot summers.
For paths and walls we prefer natural stone: Laterite (Vettu Kallu), Sadahalli Granite, and Kota Slate. We lay it with permeable joints so rainwater soaks back into the ground, which keeps the soil healthy and stops water pooling.

Every garden begins with a site survey. Our landscape architects check levels and soil before they draw anything.
