Landscape Design

Functional, Aesthetic, and Sustainable Landscape Solutions

Landscape design and implementation is a comprehensive process that involves planning the outdoor spaces of residential, commercial, industrial, social, and various other types of areas in line with functional, aesthetic, and environmental requirements.

Site characteristics, intended use, user needs, climatic conditions, plant selection, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, irrigation systems, hardscape elements, and maintenance requirements are evaluated together to develop project-specific solutions.

Each project is handled through site survey, area analysis, concept design, softscape and hardscape planning, implementation, inspection, and maintenance stages.

Depending on the scope of the project, the following works may be carried out:

  • Site survey and area analysis
  • Landscape concept design
  • Site and layout planning
  • Softscape design
  • Hardscape design
  • Pedestrian walkways
  • Vehicle routes and parking area surroundings
  • Seating and relaxation areas
  • Green area planning
  • Tree, shrub, and groundcover selection
  • Lawn applications
  • Irrigation system planning
  • Lighting integration
  • Drainage solutions
  • Boundary and transition arrangements

  • Existing area renovation and revision works

Advantages of Landscape Design

Ensures Efficient Use of Outdoor Spaces

Gardens, courtyards, entrances, walkways, parking surroundings, and relaxation areas are planned according to their intended functions, enabling more efficient use of the available space.

Supports Integration Between the Building and Its Surroundings

Softscape and hardscape decisions are developed together with the architectural structure to create a more balanced relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Improves User Comfort

Proper planning of shading, seating, walking, wayfinding, and relaxation areas supports a more comfortable outdoor experience.

Creates Visual Unity

Plants, hard surfaces, outdoor furniture, lighting, and other landscape elements are evaluated together to create a more organized and cohesive environment.

Supports Microclimatic Conditions

Appropriate planting and shading decisions can contribute to balancing the effects of sun, wind, and temperature in outdoor areas.

Facilitates Maintenance

Plant and material selections suitable for the climate and usage intensity support more manageable and sustainable long-term maintenance.

Landscape Services

Landscape Design and Implementation Process

Each project is assessed individually according to the existing condition of the site, intended use, environmental conditions, and maintenance requirements.

1. Needs Analysis

Users, usage scenarios, client expectations, and required outdoor functions are identified.

2. Site Survey and Area Analysis

Existing terrain, elevations, soil conditions, structures, vegetation, pedestrian and vehicle movement, sunlight, and environmental conditions are examined.

Necessary measurements are taken and existing conditions are documented.

3. Concept Design

Green areas, hardscape zones, seating areas, circulation routes, and other fundamental landscape decisions are developed.

4. Softscape Design

Plant species are selected according to climate, soil, sunlight, water requirements, and maintenance conditions.

Plant placement and density are planned.

5. Hardscape Planning

Walkways, terraces, paved surfaces, curbs, level transitions, and other structural elements are detailed.

6. Irrigation and Drainage Planning

The water requirements of planted areas are evaluated and the irrigation system is planned.

Drainage needs are considered to prevent the accumulation of rainwater and irrigation water on surfaces.

7. Implementation Project

Plant layouts, hardscape areas, elevations, details, materials, and implementation decisions are converted into technical drawings.

8. Site Preparation

The application area is cleared, necessary ground works are carried out, and the site is prepared for softscape and hardscape applications.

9. Landscape Implementation

Hardscape works, irrigation infrastructure, planting, lawn areas, and other landscape applications included in the project are carried out.

10. Final Inspection

Plant layouts, surface applications, irrigation systems, and other project details are inspected before the area is put into use.

Softscape

Softscape defines the visual character of outdoor spaces while also serving functions such as shading, wayfinding, screening, and environmental comfort.

Plant selection is based not only on appearance but also on growth characteristics and suitability for site conditions.

The following plant groups may be used within the project:

  • Trees
  • Ornamental trees
  • Shrubs
  • Groundcover plants
  • Seasonal plants
  • Climbing plants
  • Lawn areas
  • Drought-tolerant plants
  • Shade-tolerant species
  • Native plants suitable for project conditions

Hardscape Applications

Hardscape includes non-plant structural elements that organize outdoor use and circulation.

The following applications may be considered:

  • Pedestrian walkways
  • Terraces
  • Seating areas
  • Garden steps
  • Curbs
  • Walls and boundary elements
  • Stone paving
  • Concrete surfaces
  • Natural stone applications
  • Timber or composite decking
  • Parking surroundings
  • Passage and connection areas

Landscape Design for Industrial Facilities

In industrial facilities, landscape design is considered not only in terms of visual appearance but also in relation to site use and safe circulation.

In areas with intensive production and logistics operations, landscape arrangements are planned so as not to interfere with facility operations.

The following elements may be evaluated together:

  • Main entrance areas
  • Administrative building surroundings
  • Employee recreation areas
  • Pedestrian routes
  • Vehicle and forklift routes
  • Parking areas
  • Safety zones
  • Green buffer areas
  • Facility boundaries
  • Visual screening
  • Low-maintenance plants
  • Low-water-use landscaping
  • Future facility expansion areas

Residential and Villa Landscaping

In residential and villa projects, landscape design is developed according to daily living patterns and outdoor usage habits.

Gardens can be planned to support functions such as seating, relaxation, dining, walking, and green space use.

Privacy, shading, children's areas, pet requirements, and ease of maintenance may also be considered during the design process.

Landscape Design for Commercial Areas

In commercial buildings, landscape design is an important element supporting entrance perception, user experience, and the overall environmental organization.

Entrances, pedestrian routes, waiting areas, outdoor seating zones, and parking surroundings can be planned in harmony with the building.

Plant and material selections are evaluated according to usage intensity, maintenance requirements, and the desired corporate appearance.

Irrigation and Drainage Systems

Irrigation planning is important for supporting healthy plant growth and ensuring controlled water use in landscaped areas.

Different solutions may be used according to site and plant requirements:

  • Drip irrigation
  • Sprinkler systems
  • Automatic irrigation control
  • Zoned irrigation
  • Lawn irrigation
  • Tree and shrub irrigation

For drainage planning, slopes and discharge solutions are evaluated to prevent rainwater and irrigation water from accumulating on surfaces.

Material and Application Options

Materials used in landscape areas are selected according to usage intensity, outdoor conditions, maintenance requirements, and the design concept.

Natural Stone

Natural stone can create a durable and natural surface for walkways, terraces, and various outdoor applications.

Concrete and Precast Elements

These can provide controlled, durable, and practical solutions for heavily used areas.

Timber and Composite Materials

These materials can create a warmer surface character in seating areas, terraces, and relaxation zones.

Curbs and Boundary Elements

These can be used to separate planted and hardscape areas, organize level changes, and define site boundaries.

Lawn and Planted Surfaces

Depending on use, water requirements, and maintenance conditions, natural lawn, different groundcover species, or alternative green surface solutions may be considered.

Renovation of Existing Landscape Areas

Over time, existing landscaped areas may experience plant loss, surface deterioration, insufficient irrigation, or changing usage requirements.

Following a technical assessment, the following works may be carried out:

  • Assessment of existing plants
  • Replacement of dried or damaged plants
