What we do
Five disciplines,
one studio.
We bring landscape architects, horticulturalists, lighting designers and build teams together under one roof — so your project moves from sketch to soil without a single handoff being lost.
Hardscaping & structures
Natural stone terraces, pergolas, retaining walls, steps and pathways — built by our own stonemasons and carpenters.
Planting & horticulture
Climate-appropriate planting plans, specimen sourcing and seasonal succession — drawn up by in-house horticulturalists who track every plant through to maturity.
Lighting & water features
Layered architectural lighting, reflecting pools and water walls that extend a garden's life into the evening.
Maintenance & estate care
Year-round horticultural maintenance, irrigation servicing and seasonal renewal for the gardens we build — and many we didn't.

How a project unfolds
From first conversation
to first bloom.
A typical residential project runs 10–16 weeks from signed concept to handover; larger estate and commercial work is scoped individually.
Stage 1
Consultation
An on-site or virtual walk-through to understand the brief, the site and how you'll actually use the space.
Stage 2
Survey & analysis
Topographic survey, soil testing, drainage and sun-path mapping form the technical baseline for design.
Stage 3
Concept design
Masterplan, material palette and planting concept presented as drawings, mood boards and sample boards.
Stage 4
Visualisation
3D renders and a walkthrough model so you can stand in the space before a single stone is laid.
Stage 5
Build
Our own hardscaping, planting and lighting crews execute to drawing, with a single project manager throughout.
Stage 6
Aftercare
A 12-month establishment plan, then an optional maintenance contract to keep the garden on its trajectory.
Selected work
A few recent gardens.
Built to give back
Every garden we plant
should outlive the project.
Sustainable practice isn't a separate service line for us — it's how every plan, plant list and irrigation drawing is written. Here's what that looks like across our current portfolio.

Client stories
What it's like to work with us.
"What stood out was how the design team and the build crew were the same people throughout. There was never a moment of 'that's not how the drawing showed it' — because the people on site had drawn it."
Ahmed Al Rashid
Private client · Dubai, UAE
"We'd been let down twice before by contractors who couldn't translate a plan into a finished space. TerraLux's 3D walkthrough meant we genuinely knew what we were getting — and the finished courtyard matched it almost exactly."
Sarah Thompson
Homeowner · Surrey, UK
"As a hospitality operator, the maintenance contract matters as much as the build. Eighteen months on, the grounds still look like the day they were planted — that's the part most landscaping firms can't deliver."
