A well-considered design to start with, skilled maintenance for everything after. Your garden at its best in every season.
A beautiful garden does not happen by itself. It starts with a well-considered design that suits your home, your wishes and the way you live outdoors — and it stays beautiful through maintenance at the right moments.
At De Graaf, design, construction and maintenance come from one team. The designer who draws your garden consults directly with the people who build and maintain it. That prevents surprises and creates a garden that works in the long run.
Whether you are at the start of a new garden or want to keep your current garden in shape: this is how we help.
Every design process starts at your home, with a good conversation about wishes, budget and how you use the garden. How do you live outdoors, how much maintenance do you want, where is the sun?
Based on that we create a sketch design with mood images, refined together into a final plan: layout, materials, lighting and a complete planting plan. You see exactly what your garden will become.
If you also have us build the garden, we offset (part of) the design fee. Design and execution then connect seamlessly.

A garden only stays beautiful with attention at the right moments. We provide periodic maintenance: pruning, border care, lawn care, fertilising and preparing your garden for spring and autumn.
This can be a one-off visit, but most clients choose a maintenance plan with fixed moments per year. You know where you stand and your garden stays in top condition all year.
We also gladly maintain gardens that were not built by us. We then start with a site visit and tailored advice.
It depends on size and level of detail. When we build the garden, we offset (part of) the design fee.
