Garden design
From concept to executive design. 3D design, soil analysis, plant selection and landscape design for gardens that reflect your personality.
Our approach to design
Every project starts with a thorough site visit. We analyse the soil, test it, study sun exposure and the microclimatic conditions of your space. This analysis phase is fundamental to creating a garden that thrives over time, with no waste of resources and minimal environmental impact.
Based on the data collected, we create a photo-realistic 3D design that you can explore virtually before the first stone is laid. You will see your garden across the seasons, with plants at maturity, evening lighting and every detail of the functional spaces. This process lets you preview the project and make changes quickly and easily.
We select plants according to the local climate, sun and shade conditions, your aesthetic preferences and ease of maintenance. Giardini Fioriti integrate sustainable choices such as xeriscaping to reduce water consumption, native species to support biodiversity and solutions that attract pollinators. Every project is unique, designed around you and your lifestyle.
Bespoke landscape design in Lugano
Lugano and Canton Ticino offer unique conditions for garden design. The mild microclimate, the proximity to the lake and the variety of soils, from hill to plain, allow botanical solutions impossible elsewhere in Switzerland. Our studio leverages these characteristics to create gardens that engage with the surrounding landscape, integrating natural elements such as local stone, water and native vegetation.
Every project includes a smart irrigation plan calibrated for the seasonal rainfall of Ticino, a lighting design study to enhance the garden in the evening hours, and a detailed schedule that takes into account the optimal planting periods in the Lugano area.

Frequently asked questions about garden design
How much does garden design cost in Lugano?
The cost of design depends on the size of the garden and the complexity of the project. We offer a free site visit to assess your needs and provide a tailored quote with no obligation.
How long does garden design take?
Timelines vary with complexity: a residential project usually takes 2-4 weeks from the initial analysis to the delivery of the executive design with 3D renderings.
Do you create 3D renderings of the garden?
Yes, every project includes a photo-realistic 3D rendering showing the garden across the seasons. You can virtually explore your future garden before works begin.
Which plants are suitable for the climate of Lugano and Ticino?
Ticino enjoys a favourable microclimate that allows great botanical variety. We select native, Mediterranean and subtropical plants suited to the specific sun, shade and soil conditions of your garden.
Do you also design sustainable, low-water gardens?
Absolutely. We integrate xeriscaping, rainwater harvesting, smart irrigation and low-water species. Sustainability is a fundamental principle of every project we deliver.
Do you also build the garden after the design phase?
Yes, we offer a complete service from design to construction. Our team of specialised craftsmen faithfully executes every detail of the approved project.
