Description

This service provides a comprehensive diagnosis of your property, forming the foundation for creating a beautiful and functional landscape design. During the site evaluation, we examine all the key factors that can influence the success of the project, such as climate conditions, soil type, lighting, drainage, and more. After performing a thorough analysis, we will provide you with a detailed report containing recommendations on how to improve the conditions for landscaping and gardening.

What does this service include?

1. Soil Condition Assessment

   • Soil type: we determine whether your soil is sandy, clayey, or loamy, as well as its structure, which is crucial for selecting plants and irrigation systems.
   • Soil pH: we measure the soil’s acidity level, which affects the growth of specific plants.
   • Drainage: we check how well your soil drains and suggest solutions if there are drainage issues.

2. Lighting Analysis

   • Sunlight exposure: we examine which areas of your garden receive sunlight throughout the day (whether shaded or sunny) to recommend suitable plants for different zones.
   • Impact of nearby objects: we analyze how nearby buildings, trees, and other objects may create shade or block sunlight access.

3. Microclimate Assessment

   • Temperature fluctuations: we identify any significant temperature variations in your garden that may affect plant health.
   • Humidity: we check the humidity levels, which influence plant selection and irrigation needs.
   • Wind exposure and protection: we evaluate how much wind exposure your site has and offer ideas for creating windbreaks or protective zones.

4. Identification of Natural Factors

   • Topography: we assess the slope of your property, which impacts water drainage and suitability for planting.
   • Presence of stones or roots: we check for underground obstacles that might affect landscaping or planting plans.

5. Evaluation of Existing Plants and Structures

   • Current landscaping: we assess the health of existing plants on the property, whether they need to be transplanted or replaced.
   • Existing structures: we inspect the condition of paths, fences, terraces, benches, water features, and other architectural elements that may be part of your landscape.

6. Water Supply Assessment

   • Water sources: we evaluate the availability of water sources such as plumbing, wells, rainwater systems, and suggest efficient irrigation methods.
   • Irrigation solutions: we recommend automatic irrigation options if needed, based on the site’s unique conditions.

Results of the Analysis

After completing the full assessment, we will provide you with a detailed report that includes:

• Soil improvement recommendations (such as adding fertilizers, improving drainage, or adjusting pH levels).
• Plant selection recommendations, tailored to your site’s lighting, soil type, and other factors.
• Suggestions to improve the microclimate (for example, creating windbreaks or optimizing irrigation).
• Ideas for landscape improvements and enhancing the visual appeal of your property.

Why is it important?

Conducting a site evaluation and condition analysis is a critical step before starting any landscaping work, as it helps avoid mistakes in plant selection and planning. Understanding your property’s unique characteristics allows for the creation of a sustainable and beautiful landscape that will bring you joy for many years to come.
