Your landscape architect in Brabant Wallon
Based in La Hulpe in the heart of Brabant Walloon, the Umilys studio designs and creates residential gardens guided by beauty — that of a well-read place, a just design, a plant palette that lives with the seasons.
We regularly work in Lasne, Waterloo, Rixensart, La Hulpe, Genval, Wavre, Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve and their neighbouring municipalities.
Our profession: to transform your outdoor space into a coherent, sustainable, and deeply personal area — from the first sketch to the last planting.
We support individuals on three levels of intervention:
1. Landscape designComplete layout plans, planting plans, execution files. The core of our landscape architect profession.
2. Development and implementation Coordination of work with our teams Vert Val : terraces, paths, plantings, plant structures, water features.

Inspiration: plant styles that work in Walloon Brabant
The Brabant context — clay soils, temperate humid climate, often generous plots — is particularly suited to certain styles. Here are several environments that thrive in the province:
Create a garden in Walloon Brabant
A territory that calls for ambitious gardens
Walloon Brabant offers a diversity of gardens rarely matched in Belgium: large plots, sloping land, wooded edges, demanding clay soils. Each municipality has its own signature.
Our clients own contemporary villas inLasne, family homes inWaterloo, properties on the edge of the forest inLa Hulpeor characterful gardens inRixensartandGenval. They all share a common requirement: a garden that reflects them, designed to last.
That is why for each project we first read the land — its orientation, its soil, its existing trees, its views — before proposing a design.
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.
Garden styles suitable for Walloon Brabant
Garden styles frequently adapted to the region
The context of Walloon Brabant is particularly suited to:
- contemporary gardens that are understated and structured
- natural or semi-natural gardens
- gardens of perennials and grasses
- easy-to-maintain family gardens
The objective is often to create:
- a garden that is readable all year round
- a continuity between architecture and landscape
- a sustainable, scalable and enduring space
