Planting as a boundary system

Planter lines define dining versus lounge without building walls. Heights step down toward views of the city or courtyard. Irrigation options range from hand-watering to discreet drip lines.

Species for heat and wind

Mediterranean herbs, olives in large pots, and resilient grasses appear often. Tender exotics are limited unless shade is reliable. Soil volumes are specified so roots are not starved.

Weight and waterproofing

Saucers, membranes, and load notes protect slabs and downstairs neighbours. We refuse designs that ignore drainage. Lightweight mixes are used when structure demands it.

Maintenance honesty

Weekly care time is estimated before planting density is locked. Holiday plans use self-watering inserts or neighbour help. Fewer thriving plants beat a stressed jungle.
