Concept & Construction

Design and layout

At Gillen, we believe that a home is not complete without its garden. As it represents an important part of your property, it can have a real impact on the overall appearance of your home. By choosing our services, you'll benefit from a garden that's not only unique and elegant, but also functional and designed to stand the test of time.

Our design and landscaping services can help you transform your garden into the centerpiece of your home. A place that will become your personal retreat, a place where you'll want to return to spend more time and enjoy watching the seasons change. 

Planning

We begin every project with a personalised consultation and preliminary visit to understand your vision, lifestyle and long-term needs. To ensure that your vision is achievable, our specialized technicians work hand in hand with our landscape architects. They help refine the concept and provide an accurate budget for the project, ensuring that the design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical. This collaborative approach ensures that every element of the garden is carefully planned and prepared before construction begins.

Our aim is to offer you a smooth planning process, taking care of all the details for you, including applying for all necessary building permits.

Exterior fittings

Building a garden for us is more than planting—it’s about creating functional outdoor spaces. That's why we have an in-house team of construction experts, masons and carpenters who construct terraces, garden structures for storage or tools, as well as fences, pergolas, and green screens to create privacy and atmosphere.

Our way of working

  1. We arrange a meeting with you to define your needs, measure the available land area and take photos (with a drone if required). Our landscape architects then draw up a clear design plan, defining the atmosphere, materials, functions and aesthetics of your future garden.

  2. Once the design and budget have been established, our construction teams bring the concept to life. We closely supervise every step, from the first sketches to the final creation of garden structures and surfaces.

  3. Our horticulturists carefully implement the planting plan, using compositions carefully prepared by our landscape architects.

For a garden in full bloom

To bring life to your project, our horticultural gardeners take care of all your planting needs. We take into account colour, blooming period and seasonality so that the final design of your garden harmonises with its architectural elements. We also handle transplantation of mature specimens, allowing your garden to enjoy immediate presence and character from the outset. Every plant selection is tailored to your vision, creating a space that is both personal and timeless.
