Approach
A landscape is a system,not a composition.
Seven elements form the core framework of every GRØNN design. The process that carries them from observation to maturity runs in five phases.
01Core Framework
Soil
Build and protect the living foundation.
Water
Slow it, spread it, store it and circulate it.
Plants
Design communities rather than isolated specimens.
Habitat
Create food, shelter, water and ecological connectivity.
Materials
Use durable, repairable and low-impact materials.
Time
Design for succession, maturity and change.
People
Create landscapes that remain usable, understandable and maintainable.
Every element performs more than one function.
02Design Process
Phase 1
Consultation and Observation
- Client conversation
- Site visit
- Measurements
- Existing-condition assessment
- Initial recommendations
Phase 2
Preparation and Technical Planning
- Design refinement
- Material planning
- Technical details
- Cost estimate
- Phasing
Phase 3
Construction and Installation
- Groundworks
- Water systems
- Structural elements
- Planting preparation
- Main implementation
Phase 4
Ecological Finishing
- Planting
- Habitat features
- Mulching
- System calibration
- Final detailing
Phase 5
Review and Development
- System check
- Adjustments
- Ecological monitoring
- Maintenance guidance
