Landscape Architect in Waterloo
In Waterloo (1410), the garden has space: villas, large plots, edges of the Soignes forest. A residential and very green municipality south of Brussels, Waterloo also hosts a significant international community. Vert Val SRL — a landscape architecture office based in La Hulpe in Walloon Brabant — designs and implements the layout of private gardens in Waterloo, from the first sketch to the last planting.

Points of interest: the gardens of Waterloo
Waterloo is rarely the small city garden. Here, we often work with space, ancient trees, and relief. Here is what we encounter most — and our way of responding to it.
Large villa gardens — Space, and therefore choices: structuring volumes and creating successive atmospheres rather than a large empty lawn.
At the edge of the Soignes forest — More acidic soils, shade from large beech trees, passage of wildlife. We compose a palette of undergrowth that interacts with the forest.
Varied styles — From English gardens to contemporary, the clientele of Waterloo has diverse tastes. We adapt the project, not the other way around.
Loamy soil of Brabant — Rich but sensitive to compaction and waterlogging. We take care of the soil structure and drainage before planting.
To discover in Waterloo
The Soignes forest (Argenteuil estate)
The Waterloo part of the large UNESCO-listed massif: the famous "cathedral beech forest", these beech trees aged 150 to 200 years that rise to about 40 metres. The green lung of the region, at your doorstep.
The wood of the Bruyères
A walking wood in the heart of Waterloo, with varied fauna and flora. The kind of space that reminds us that we can live in the city and walk under the trees.
The battlefield of 1815
The open agricultural landscape, preserved for two centuries, overseen by the Lion's Mound (erected just nearby, in Braine-l'Alleud). A lesson on the value of a landscape that we protect.
And what if we imagined Waterloo greener?
Creative reflection on greening our spaces.
The city of today is not the city of tomorrow. With warming, greenery in the city is no longer a luxury: it cools, absorbs rainwater, and creates connections. We took some very mineral places in Waterloo and imagined them greener. A projection, not a project — but a real question: what if we dared?

Frequently asked questions
Do you operate everywhere in Waterloo?
Yes. Vert Val SRL carries out private garden projects throughout the municipality of Waterloo (1410), from the centre to the residential areas on the edge of the Sonian Forest, as well as in Brussels and throughout Walloon Brabant.
What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape architect?
A landscape architect designs the entire project — plans, choice of plants, materials, coordination of works — whereas a landscaper or garden contractor mainly carries out the planting and maintenance. At Vert Val SRL, Lorenzo del Marmol ensures the complete design, from the sketch to delivery.
My garden borders the Sonian Forest: how should I arrange it?
At the forest edge, the soil is often more acidic and shaded, with the passage of wildlife. Rather than imposing a full sun garden, we compose a palette of undergrowth — ferns, shade perennials, suitable shrubs — that extends the forest instead of fighting against it.
