We design and maintain gardens that balance beauty, climate-smart resilience, and long-term value. Our approach blends site analysis, native and adaptive planting palettes, water-wise irrigation strategies, and tasteful hardscape elements to create outdoor environments that are comfortable, low-maintenance, and visually cohesive with the home. Whether transforming a neglected yard into a layered garden, upgrading irrigation to conserve water, or installing privacy plantings that mature gracefully, our team provides end-to-end design, project delivery, and seasonal care. We prioritize plant health, soil-building techniques, and construction details that reduce future upkeep while improving biodiversity and guest enjoyment.
We pair aesthetic clarity with horticultural science—so every element serves beauty and function.
PalmTerra was founded by landscape designers and horticulturalists who share a conviction: private gardens should be living compositions that evolve gracefully while requiring realistic maintenance. Our team blends landscape architecture principles with practical plant science—creating plans that are beautiful, ecologically informed, and tailored to homeowner lifestyles. On every project we prioritize soil health, moisture management, and plant selection that matches microclimates and exposure conditions. We avoid high-maintenance specimens in favor of resilient choices that display seasonal diversity and deliver year-round interest.
The engagement process begins with a thorough site assessment: soil tests, light mapping, wind paths, and an inventory of existing vegetation. From this groundwork we develop layered planting plans, irrigation proposals that conserve water, and construction documents for hardscape elements like pathways, retaining features, and terraces. During installation, our crews operate with craft precision and respect for neighboring properties. After planting, we provide a bespoke maintenance roadmap—so each garden receives the right level of care at the right time, preserving investment and ensuring long-term vitality.
Sustainability is embedded in our practice: we favor native and drought-adapted species, integrate compost and organic soil amendments, and design irrigation circuits that minimize waste. Our goal is to make beautiful landscapes that are also climate-resilient and supportive of local ecology.
We combine creative landscape design with horticultural expertise and dependable aftercare—so your outdoor space thrives and adapts as it matures.
Every planting palette is derived from a careful analysis of exposure, soil texture, water availability, and the client’s maintenance preferences. We select species that harmonize with local conditions—reducing irrigation needs and improving resilience against heat and drought stress. By favoring a mix of native and regionally adapted plants, we build gardens that support pollinators and local wildlife while providing distinct seasonal color and form.
Our irrigation plans emphasize zoned drip systems, pressure regulation, and soil moisture feedback where appropriate. These strategies minimize evaporation and overwatering while delivering hydration precisely where plants need it. We also integrate rain harvesting and reuse strategies when feasible, lowering both water consumption and operating costs over the life of the landscape.
We improve structure and fertility through compost incorporation, organic mulches, and targeted amendments informed by laboratory analysis. Healthy soil increases water retention, supports root growth, and reduces disease susceptibility—delivering stronger plants and lower maintenance demands over time.
Hardscape elements—paths, terraces, retaining walls, and seating—are designed to integrate with planting rather than dominate it. Materials are chosen for durability, slip resistance, and complementary texture. Clever grading and drainage solutions make spaces usable in wet seasons while preserving plant health.
After installation we deliver a customized maintenance schedule detailing seasonal tasks, pruning plans, fertilization windows, and pest monitoring. Homeowners receive clear guidance so they can maintain aesthetic standards and plant vigor without guesswork.
Our installation crews are trained in careful planting technique, precise grading, and clean site practices. Projects are managed with transparent timelines, milestone approvals, and documentation so homeowners always know progress and upcoming tasks. We coordinate with builders, pool contractors, and landscape lighting specialists to deliver cohesive results.
A modular suite of landscape services tailored to private residences—available individually or combined into full-project packages.
Comprehensive design packages include concept sketches, planting plans, material palettes, lighting diagrams, and construction drawings. We provide 2D and 3D visuals to help homeowners visualise composition, scale, and seasonal transitions before construction begins.
Professional planting services include correct root handling, planting hole preparation, staking where required, and initial irrigation commissioning. We source healthy nursery stock and oversee transport and placement to preserve quality.
Drip networks, smart controllers, pressure regulation, and optional rainwater capture systems reduce mains consumption. We program seasonal schedules and can incorporate soil moisture sensors for adaptive watering.
Durable paving, retaining walls, timber decking, and subtle lighting features are installed to complement planting—creating usable outdoor rooms that perform across seasons.
On-site composting setups, organic amendment schedules, and targeted soil blends improve fertility and infiltration—delivering visible improvements in plant vigor within months.
Regular pruning, fertilization cycles, mulching, pest scouting, and seasonal clean-ups keep gardens in top condition. We also provide ad-hoc plant healthcare and emergency interventions for storm or pest damage.
