No, it's included. Many owners here commission a landscape architect or designer first, then pay a separate builder to make the drawings real. We do both under one roof: you see your finished space in 3D as part of your proposal, and you're not paying twice to get there. One team, one price, one point of responsibility.

We work both ways. A good part of what we build is for architects and designers who bring us their projects because they trust us to make their drawings real, to their standard, not a compromise of it. Just as many clients come to us directly and, because we design and build in-house, get that same craftsmanship without commissioning a separate designer first. Whether you arrive with a full set of plans, a folder of ideas, or simply a tired terrace and a feeling of what it could be, you're in the right place.

Both. Some clients start with a single fire table or a terrace refresh; others hand us the whole garden. We're glad to begin small - and many projects grow naturally once you see the first part finished. There's no minimum ambition required; there's just work done properly.

It depends on the work, and we handle it either way. A freestanding fire table on your existing terrace needs no permit - it's furniture, not construction. Paving, stone walls and larger works usually call for a simple municipal notification, which we arrange for you through our local gestor. We'll tell you exactly which side of the line you're on at the consultation - you never chase paperwork.

Every project is bespoke, so we set the price based on the design rather than a standard rate. Most terrace and stonework projects range from the low to mid five-figure mark; a fire pit table may be a smaller, quicker commission; the complete transformation of an outdoor space or a property is assessed on a case-by-case basis. What you will always receive is a clear quote before any work begins: you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, and if any changes arise during the process, we’ll let you know first, in writing, before proceeding.

Usually because of what sits under the surface. Most of a terrace's cost - and its lifespan - is in the base, the drainage and the detailing you can't see once it's finished. We're glad to walk through another quote with you and show you honestly where we differ; sometimes it explains a higher number, sometimes a lower one. Either way, you'll understand exactly what you're paying for.

That's most of what we do. We keep you updated remotely with photos and clear decisions, and we deliver to a deadline - so you arrive to a finished space rather than a live building site. Many of our clients see their garden completed while they're in London, Zürich or Stockholm.

We’ll be happy to advise you. Native marés and Santanyí stone for warmth and authenticity; refined porcelain, including marés-toned finishes, for durability and near-zero upkeep. You'll see and approve samples in the light of your own terrace before anything is laid - the material should look right where it actually lives.

A fire table is often a matter of days, as there are no building works. Most terraces and walls are roughly one to two weeks on site; a full garden project runs a few weeks from approved design to completion. You'll have a start and finish date in writing before we begin, planned around your calendar.

You'll hear about it before we go further - with the cost in writing and your decision, never a surprise on the final invoice. It's uncommon, but old concrete, poor subsoil or a hidden drainage issue does turn up occasionally, and we'd always rather pause and tell you than build over a problem.

Yes. Depending on the design and fuel type of the fireplace, there are options both with and without official certification requirements, and we’ll explain all of them to you during the consultation so that you can choose the one that best suits your terrace. Whichever option you choose, we only install CE-certified units, fitted safely and correctly, and we take care of everything as part of the job: you won’t need to hire another professional, and safety is something we never compromise on.

Yes, fluently in English, German and Spanish. Nothing is lost in translation: not the design, not the detail, not the cost.

Everything we install carries a 2-year workmanship warranty in writing, alongside manufacturer warranties on materials. A deposit locks your build date and covers materials, with the balance staged against work actually completed - you never pay ahead of what's built. If you'd like, we can also keep the space looking the way it did on day one, with optional seasonal care. (New stone often shows a light mineral bloom - efflorescence - as it cures; it's natural and fades within a season.)

Now, honestly, waiting rarely saves what people expect it to. A bare or tired plot isn't a space you can enjoy, and a year spent "waiting" is usually just a year not using the garden. If budget is the question, say so at the consultation and we'll phase it sensibly - terrace and drainage first, planting, fire and lighting next. The first step costs nothing but a conversation: a consultation, a design, and a fixed price to decide on in your own time.
