Balcony, terrace and society gardens in Balewadi

Balewadi, home of the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, became part of the Pune Municipal Corporation in 1997 and has since filled with residential towers along Baner Road and the Katraj–Dehu Road corridor. It is about 3.5 km from our Pimple Saudagar office, just across the corporation boundary.

Homes and gardens in Balewadi

Most homes in Balewadi are flats in newer high-rise societies, many with large balconies, a few penthouse terraces and a landscaped podium. Gardens here are about making those balconies and terraces green without adding weight or leaks, and about keeping the society's podium planting healthy.

Large balconies on high floors

Balewadi's newer towers often have deep balconies on high floors that catch strong wind in the monsoon and full sun in summer. We use light potting mixes, planters with saucers or drip trays so water does not stain the floor below, and plants that stand up to wind, such as bougainvillea, areca palm, snake plant and lemongrass.

For a penthouse or terrace, we check waterproofing and drainage before anything is planted, then build raised planters, seating and drip on a timer.

PMC rules for trees

Balewadi falls under the Pune Municipal Corporation, so tree pruning or felling in a society compound needs the PMC Tree Authority's permission, applied for with photographs of the tree. Trees estimated to be 50 years or older count as heritage trees under the state law. Our society maintenance contracts plan tree work around these approvals.

Offices on Baner Road

Offices and co-working spaces near Balewadi and Baner Road can rent plants instead of buying them: plants in planters, maintained on a set day and replaced when they tire.
