Landscape Design Consultancy

A good landscape design is not a pretty drawing — it is a plan that survives Indian summers, monsoon run-off and years of everyday use. Ganesh Patel designs landscapes the way he has built them for three decades: starting from soil, water and how people will actually move through the space.

What the design package includes

• Site study — soil and water testing advice, levels, drainage, sun and wind exposure, existing trees worth saving.
• Concept & zoning — entrances, lawns, walkways, play and gathering areas, service zones and screening.
• AutoCAD master plan — dimensioned layout that architects, engineers and contractors can build from.
• Planting scheme — tree, shrub, hedge and groundcover selection with quantities, sizes and spacing.
• Hardscape & features — paths, edging, rock gardens, water features, topiary and pergolas.
• Irrigation layout — zoned drip, sprinkler and pop-up systems sized to your water source.
• Bill of quantities & estimate — so you know the cost before work starts.

Designed by someone who has to maintain it

For most of his career Ganesh Patel was responsible not only for creating landscapes but for keeping them beautiful year after year — at Century Yarn & Denim, a 105-acre estate with 15,000 trees of 101 varieties, and at Birla Century, where he developed a 34-acre lawn and 15-acre plantation from scratch. That experience shapes every drawing: plants that suit the site, lawns that can be mowed efficiently, hedges that can be clipped by a normal team, and irrigation that does not waste water.

Who it is for

Architects and developers who need a horticulture specialist on the team, hotel owners planning new grounds, institutions and factories setting up a campus, and homeowners who want a garden designed properly the first time.
