Landscaping Services in New Delhi

Recent restoration work on the Delhi Ridge, the belt of rocky forest running through the city, has brought back native trees such as dhau, dhak, babul and kair, all able to grow well on the Ridge's own poor ground once their roots are established. A campus with open, low-water areas away from building footprints can draw on the same native palette instead of species that need constant irrigation.

Working inside the city's master plan for green belts

The Delhi Development Authority's master planning covers not just housing but roads, drains and green belts across the National Capital Territory, and a campus's boundary planting or internal green belt is designed to sit within that wider framework rather than as an isolated patch. Our New Delhi team plans new campus planting with this context in mind, alongside the practical needs of students and staff using the grounds.

A campus's place in a much larger forest belt

The Delhi Ridge runs some 35 kilometres from Tughlaqabad in the southeast to Wazirabad on the Yamuna, split into northern, central, south-central and southern sections that together give the capital a claim to being the world's second most bird-rich capital city after Nairobi. A campus built near or inside this belt is landscaped as an extension of it where possible, since the birds and insects the Ridge supports move freely onto adjoining institutional grounds. This does not change the underlying planting plan for lawns and beds elsewhere on campus, but it does mean the sections nearest the Ridge or a similar forest patch are landscaped to encourage rather than crowd out that birdlife.
