Farm-Stay and Weekend Rental Setup in Chandigarh

We prioritise the lawn, the sit-out and the orchard walk, since these are what a weekend guest actually experiences in a short stay, over parts of the plot a guest would rarely see. Lawn laid in the monsoon, from July to September, is established and dense well before the winter and early-summer months when this region's weekend tourism, including trips toward the Morni Hills and Sukhna Lake area, is at its busiest.

An orchard planted for a farm-stay works differently from a purely commercial orchard: we choose a mix of fruiting trees that gives the property something in bloom or in fruit across more of the year, rather than one crop harvested all at once.

Ready for guests across the seasons

Winter, from October to February, is when the grounds look their best and need the least daily upkeep, while the frost weeks of December and January need any tender ornamental planting near the sit-out protected so the property still looks presentable to a guest arriving that weekend.

Something in bloom across the year, and parking that looks the part

We plan the flowering and fruiting calendar so the grounds have something in colour or in fruit across most months rather than one spectacular season and several bare ones, since a farm-stay's guests can arrive in any month and the grounds need to earn their appeal in all of them.

The parking and arrival area is one of the first things a guest sees, and we landscape it with the same attention as the lawn behind the house, since a bare gravel patch at the entrance undercuts the impression the rest of the grounds are working to create.
