Grounded in the site. Built for living.
A landscape approach that brings design, construction and garden care into one connected way of thinking.
The garden starts before the planting.
A landscape is a set of connected decisions about levels, water, access, materials, shelter and use. Planting gives those decisions life, but it cannot rescue a site that was never resolved underneath.
Built Ground is shaped around that whole-site view, from the first plan through construction and the way a garden develops after handover.
What keeps the work grounded.
- 01
Read the whole site
Architecture, ground, climate, movement and maintenance belong in the same brief.
- 02
Make the detail useful
A strong junction solves a practical problem while making the broader design feel resolved.
- 03
Let planting change
The structure should remain clear as plants settle, spread and move through the seasons.
Design with the build in mind.
Material widths, finished levels, drainage falls and planting depths are design decisions as much as construction details. Considering them early makes the plan clearer and the finished landscape more coherent.
