Our services
OUR SERVICES
01Private garden & outdoor space design
We turn every site into a garden that truly suits the way you live.
For private homes · country villas · courtyards · terraces
- Gardens with intense sun, poor soil or little water
- Seaside terraces facing scorching heat, strong wind and salt spray
- Urban courtyards that need better privacy, shade and comfort
- Hillside or terraced gardens, abandoned or to be reimagined
- Spaces where light conditions vary greatly from area to area
- Second homes and holiday residences seeking less everyday upkeep
02Landscape consultancy for architects & contractors
We collaborate with architecture studios and contractors from the earliest project stages, developing a landscape strategy consistent with the architecture.
For architecture studios and designers, gardeners and contractors
We apply the Metodo Paesaggi Vivi, integrating space, site conditions, plant communities, time and future management into dynamic, coherent planting strategies.
Getting involved from the earliest stages makes it possible to coordinate the infrastructural aspects of the landscape as well — irrigation, lighting and drainage — reducing the risk of later changes, budget increases or design compromises.
03Outdoor experience for hospitality
We turn outdoor spaces into places worth experiencing — and guests’ dwell time into business value.
For farms, restaurants, boutique hotels, estates & resorts
- Memorable outdoor dining areas or open-air lounges
- Outdoor comfort systems: shading, mosquito protection and privacy
- Sensory landscape design
- Scenes for weddings, evening experiences, guest welcome, garden strolls, edible & aromatic planting areas, educational kitchen gardens and pick-your-own zones

The 5C
Living Landscape Method
Metodo Paesaggi ViviA garden is not a static composition but a living landscape that changes, grows and finds its own balance over time.
Every place has its own climate, rhythm and way of being used. We design comfort, plant communities, the long-term development of vegetation and future maintenance as one integrated system, transforming outdoor spaces into living, welcoming landscapes that never become a burden.
ClimateReading sun, wind, water, soil and microclimate.
ComfortDesigning around the way the space will actually be lived in.
CommunityBuilding plant communities that can grow and evolve together.
CycleDesigning the landscape through seasons and time.

MT Landscape Design specialises in gardens, planting design and outdoor spaces.
We start from the conditions of the site, the lifestyle it serves and its management over time. Depending on the project, we collaborate with architects, contractors, gardeners, nurseries and other professionals, carrying the design from early strategy through implementation and evolution.
We create gardens rooted in their place, shaped by the way people live them, and designed to mature over time.
