Landscape architect Walloon Brabant
Custom garden design.
The Walloon Brabant offers a great diversity of gardens, mostly associated with villas, detached houses, and plots of considerable size.
Landscape design is often associated with larger plots, sometimes sloping, surrounded by ancient hedges, groves, or existing large trees.
This context allows for ambitious projects, but also requires a careful reading of the terrain, the soil, and the natural environment.

Typology of properties and gardens
What types of gardens can be found in Walloon Brabant
In Walloon Brabant, one mainly finds:
- gardens of contemporary or classical villas
- gardens of family houses situated on large plots
- gardens on the edge of wooded or agricultural areas
- gardens with significant depth, often structured into several zones
These gardens allow for work:
- the perspective and distant views
- the structuring in terraces or levels
- large-scale plantings (trees, beds, meadows)
Soil constraints
Soils and common technical constraints
The soils of Walloon Brabant regularly present:
- heavy and clayey soils
- hydromorphic areas with water retention
- sloping land requiring controlled drainage
- layers of fill around recent constructions
These characteristics directly influence:
- the choice of plants
- water management (drainage, swales, basins)
- the foundations of terraces and outdoor arrangements
The design of the garden must incorporate these elements from the outset.
Hilly gardens and sloping land
The relief is a common feature of Walloon Brabant.
Many gardens are situated on slightly to heavily undulating land.
This opens up interesting possibilities:
- creation of levels and platforms
- games of perspective
- integration of landscape retaining walls
- stairs, pathways and tiered terraces
But this also imposes:
- a structural reflection
- a precise management of water flows
- sustainable material choices
Natural environment and existing vegetation
Presence of large trees and wooded landscapes
Some areas of Walloon Brabant, particularly near the south of Brussels and the Sonian Forest, are characterised by:
- the presence of existing large trees
- shaded or semi-shaded gardens
- a biodiversity already established
In other, more open areas, the gardens are more exposed:
- in the wind
- in the sun
- with less existing plant structure
The design must adapt to these very different contexts, without standardisation.
