Before
The newly built family home was accompanied by a particularly beautiful plot of land with valuable natural characteristics. With its balanced proportions and peaceful surroundings, the site immediately conveyed a sense of warmth and intimacy. However, the garden still resembled a construction site — the terrain was uneven, lacked structure and function, and remained in a temporary state.
In the case of a smaller courtyard like this, thoughtful landscape design plays a crucial role — every square meter must be purposefully utilized. Accurately assessing the site’s potential and organizing the space intelligently from the very beginning determines how livable, atmospheric, and functional the garden can become.
This outdoor space was awaiting professional landscape planning to gain structure, purpose, and a new identity — a transformation into a space full of life and functionality.
After
What was once an undefined and transitional outdoor area has now become a well-structured, livable, and welcoming garden, harmoniously complementing the home’s architecture. Every square meter of the property has been given new meaning and function — becoming a true extension of the home, an outdoor living space where nature is not merely a backdrop, but a living, adaptive, and inspiring presence.
With its thoughtfully designed functions, carefully executed details, and inviting atmosphere, the garden has become a true jewel of the property — a space that not only serves, but meaningfully enhances the everyday life of those who inhabit it.









































Implementation
The implementation began with a careful organization of the site, taking into account the terrain’s natural characteristics. The first step involved grading and leveling, followed by the definition of the garden’s main functional areas. Circulation paths were constructed using durable and aesthetically clean paving, bringing harmony between form and function.
An automated irrigation system was installed to ensure optimal watering of the vegetation, and instant lawn (sod) was laid to immediately create well-structured, lush green surfaces.
The garden was further enriched with ornamental planting beds and raised planters, adding both visual appeal and usability. The plant selection was carefully curated to offer seasonal interest while remaining low-maintenance and resilient over time.
