01 / Site read · Kyiv Oblast · soil, slope and water table before planting
Kyiv Oblast · 0.42 ha · Heavy clay loam
We read the site first: slope, soil, spring meltwater and access width. Zoning, planting and drainage are then drawn into one coordinated scope instead of four separate contractors.
① Driveway court · 46 m²
② French drain · 40 m · 1% fall
③ Rain garden · 24 m²
02 / Site Constraints
Clay, meltwater, access width and winter use set the order of work. Each constraint below maps to a measured response, not a preference.
Dimensions are confirmed on site. Read scope and conditions or request a site and drainage assessment.
03 / Zones and Functions
On a countryside plot every area has a job. We walk the daily routes, storage needs, machinery turning circles and winter access first, then fix dimensions and surfaces so the garden still works in wet March and muddy November.
Reinforced gravel-grass grid, gate clearance for a 3.5 m vehicle, plough and trailer parking behind the hedge line.
Two shallow steps take up a 1.2 m fall from the house; the lawn keeps a single continuous edge for easy mowing.
Eight raised beds on a 1 m grid, cordon apples and pears on the north edge, one metre mowing margin all round.
Shallow planted basin with 30 cm storage depth, silt trap and a controlled overflow into the roadside ditch.
Shed pad, covered wood store and three compost bays, screened from the lawn by a clipped hornbeam run.
Rough grass cut twice a season, 1.8 m paths kept short, spring bulbs naturalised along the path shoulders.
Machinery corridor that keeps deliveries and wheelbarrow traffic off the lawn and away from the drain runs.
04 / Planting plan
Species are confirmed only after the soil pit and the water table reading.
Request a planting assessmentEach layer does a job. The canopy breaks wind and holds the boundary, the shrub layer screens storage and neighbours, and the groundcover stabilises clay slopes until woody roots take over.
Quantities and sizes are itemized in the planting schedule once the drainage layout is fixed. See drainage and engineering.
05 / Drainage and Engineering
On countryside plots the ground tells you what it will accept. We read levels, soil structure and winter water before drawing paths, terraces or beds, so the finished garden holds up through a wet March instead of turning into a rerouted stream.
Two visits, spot heights, soil pits and a written note on where water already sits.
Drainage, hardscape and planting staged in one itemized estimate, priced by phase.
One crew sequence: earthworks, drainage, surfaces, then trees and groundcover.
Estimates stay itemized by stage and remain subject to on-site conditions, materials, access and season. See how the drainage stage runs, or book a site and drainage assessment.
06 / Assessment
We take on countryside plots across Bila Tserkva and Kyiv Oblast, usually within 60 km of the city. Sites further out are quoted with travel time inside the first stage.
Estimates are itemized by stage and remain subject to on-site conditions, materials, access and season.
