Design process
How does the process of designing a garden work?
Il processo inizia con un sopralluogo, seguito da una consulenza per comprendere esigenze e preferenze del cliente. Prepariamo un preventivo che include rendering, planimetrie, scelta dei materiali, illuminazione, impianti di irrigazione e una stima dettagliata dei costi.

We analyze the space, sun exposure and context, discussing with the client to understand their tastes and needs. This allows us to design customized solutions.
Is it possible to see a 3D rendering or detailed design before starting work?
Yes, we always provide a 3D rendering and detailed design to help you visualize the final result.
Can I request design changes during implementation?
Yes, we accept changes during the work to ensure full customer satisfaction.
How do you ensure that the final design reflects my requirements?
We constantly monitor the construction site and welcome client comments at every stage of the work.
