Ground worthliving on.
A landscape and garden design studio for homes and small properties, from the first walk of the site to the finished planting.

The studio
A garden designed with the same care as the rooms inside.
Bloomridge plans gardens, plantings and small-scale grounds for homes and properties. Each project is the start of a long relationship with a piece of land, so the work begins with the land itself (its soil, its light, the way water moves across it) and only then with the drawing.
We aren't a lawn-cutting or maintenance crew, and we don't work from a fixed catalogue of looks the way a franchise does. We aren't after the showpiece garden either: the kind built to photograph well and then demand constant work. The aim is a garden that holds up and stays worth tending.
The process
How a project runs
01 · Site read
Soil, sun, drainage
Site read
We walk the site before we draw anything: sun, drainage, the soil that's actually there (red laterite, black cotton, alluvial), and how the space gets used day to day.
Layout & flow
Concept
A first layout for the space: what stays, what changes, and how the garden connects to the house and to the way you move through it.
Monsoon-timed
Planting plan
Plants chosen for this site and this season, with the planting timed around the monsoon where it helps.
On site
Install
The plan gets built, hard landscaping first and then planting, with us on site through the work.
The plan
A plan, read closely
Sheet 01: Site plan
- 1
Existing contour
Before anything changes, we read the ground as it is: where it falls and where water already wants to go.
- 2
Terrace edge
A built line that holds a change in level: steps, a retaining edge, a defined terrace.
- 3
Planting bed: shade
Shaded beds are planted for the light they actually get: ferns, broad-leaved foliage, plants that want the shade.
- 4
Planting bed: sun
Sun-facing beds take a different mix. Heat-loving flowering shrubs like bougainvillea do well, and the plan follows how the light moves across the site through the day.
- 5
Path: gravel
The routes through the garden are drawn before any planting goes in, so the way you move through it is decided first.
- 6
Retaining line
Where the ground needs holding, the retaining line goes into the plan from the start.
Scope
What a project can cover
From the site read to the first months after planting. Take what the garden needs, leave what it doesn't.
Sun, drainage, soil, what's already growing and how the space is used, all mapped before anything is drawn.
Working together
Working with the studio
What it takes on
We work on residential gardens and small grounds, from a single bed through to the layout of a whole property. Large commercial or public landscape work is not what we do.
How long it takes
A project runs on its own timeline: the site read and concept take as long as they need, and planting waits for the right season, often the monsoon.
Once it's planted
The work continues past the install: aftercare guidance covers the first few months while the garden settles into the site.
Selected work
The garden we work toward
Images of the planting, materials and finish we aim for. They illustrate the approach rather than record one finished address.
In their words
They read the site properly before drawing anything. The layout suits how we actually use the garden, not just how it looks in a photo.
