Landscape Design · Tavira
Bespoke landscape design rooted in place, climate, and vision. From intimate garden retreats to expansive outdoor environments — crafted for lasting beauty and ecological balance.
A clear, collaborative process designed to make your landscape project feel effortless — from the initial idea through to the day you step into your new outdoor space.
We start with a conversation. We listen to your ideas, visit the site, and get a feel for the space, its conditions, and your ambitions — with no obligations and no rush.
A thorough assessment of soil, topography, sun exposure, and existing features is followed by a written design brief — capturing the project's direction, constraints, and agreed scope.
We translate the brief into concept drawings, spatial sketches, and mood boards — presenting options for discussion, revision, and sign-off before moving to detailed development.
Approved concepts are developed into full construction drawings, planting plans, material and finish specifications, and 3D visualisations — everything a contractor needs to build with confidence.
We manage contractor selection, oversee the build programme, and carry out regular site visits to ensure the design is realised with the precision and care it deserves.
Once complete, we walk through the finished space together and provide a personalised aftercare guide — covering planting maintenance, seasonal care, and long-term management of your garden.
DOGMAS & FUNDAMENTOS is a landscape design company based in Tavira, Algarve. We plan and build outdoor spaces for private homeowners, residential developments, and commercial properties — from garden layouts and planting schemes to pathways, terraces, and decorative elements.
Whether it is a compact courtyard, a sprawling villa garden, or a public green space, we handle the full scope of work: design, material selection, plant procurement, and on-site execution. Every detail — from the paving pattern to the choice of shrubs — is chosen with care.
We are based in southern Portugal and work across the Algarve region, bringing local knowledge of climate, soil, and native flora to every project we take on.
Flowers, shrubs, trees, and lawns — selected for the local climate and arranged to look their best year-round.
Paved walkways, stone terraces, and outdoor flooring that are practical, durable, and visually coherent.
Lighting, garden ornaments, water features, and finishing touches that bring personality to any outdoor space.
From ground preparation and drainage to final planting and clean-up — we manage the complete transformation of your outdoor area.
"The design they produced transformed a neglected plot into a genuinely beautiful garden. Every plant choice felt considered, and the whole process was remarkably smooth."
"The planting plan they created thrives with minimal upkeep — a truly thoughtful approach that respects the local environment. We get compliments on the garden constantly."
"From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, every step was professional and well communicated. The outdoor terrace is now our favourite part of the property."
