Friuli Venezia Giulia is home for us: our family nursery began here, and this is where almost all of our projects have been built. From our studio in Lignano Sabbiadoro we design gardens and terraces on the coast, on the plain and in town, from Udine to Trieste and Pordenone, following every project from the first site visit through to maintenance.
Book a site visitWithin a few dozen kilometers, Friuli Venezia Giulia goes from the lagoon and sandy beaches to the plain, and from the hills to the Karst. Each area has its own climate and soil: the sandy, brackish soils of the coast, the gravelly plain around Udine and Pordenone, the stone and the bora of Trieste.
For us, designing here means starting from these differences. We read the place during the site visit, choose plants that grow well in those conditions and shape spaces around the way they are actually lived in: the seaside house used in summer, the family garden on the plain, the terrace in town.
Being close also makes a difference once the garden is built. From our Lignano studio we can easily reach the whole region to follow construction and scheduled maintenance.
Roberto Landello is a garden designer based in Lignano Sabbiadoro. From here we design and build gardens and terraces throughout Friuli Venezia Giulia, following every project in person: from the first site visit and the choice of plants to construction and maintenance.
Our work starts with plants. Roberto grew up in his family’s nursery in Lignano Sabbiadoro and trained at the Scuola Agraria del Parco di Monza; Luca, our technical lead, combines a background in construction with training in agronomy and arboriculture.
Almost all of our projects were born in Friuli, from the sea-view terraces of Lignano to the gardens of the plain. In 2017 our installation “Ciclicità lunare” won the Foglia d’Oro del Lago di Como award at Orticolario, and our projects have been featured in Gardenia, Casa in Fiore and Terrazzi e balconi.
From Lignano to Grado, planting has to cope with sand, wind and salt spray. We design gardens and terraces for seaside homes with coastal and Mediterranean species, shade for the summer and care that stays organized even while the house is closed.
From sea-view terraces to penthouses in town, we design spaces up high with custom planters, privacy screening and automatic irrigation.
On the Friulian plain, cold winters, heavy rainfall and hot summers call for robust plants. We work with borders of perennials and ornamental grasses, and with trees and hedges that give the garden structure in every season.
In Trieste, wind and rocky ground call for careful choices: species that stand up to the bora wind, terracing and local materials for gardens that belong in the Karst landscape.
What clients ask us most often before starting a project.
The whole region. As a garden design studio based in Lignano Sabbiadoro, we take on projects on the coast, in Udine and its province, in Pordenone and in Trieste, with site visits and our presence on site.
Yes. We work on private gardens of every size, terraces and penthouses, gardens for seaside homes and the outdoor spaces of villas and family homes.
It depends a great deal on the area. On the coast you need species that tolerate salt and drought, on the plain plants that stand up to cold and rain, in Trieste species that can take the bora wind. We choose them after the site visit, based on soil and exposure.
Yes. We follow construction with site supervision and coordination of the work, so that materials, details and plants match the design.
Yes, with a scheduled maintenance service tailored to the plants and to the way the house is used: especially useful for holiday homes by the sea.
With a site visit: we look at the space, listen to what you need and take measurements and photos. That is where the preliminary design begins.
