About us
Messinian Landscaping designs, builds and maintains gardens for homes, holiday homes, hotels, business premises, apartment buildings and public spaces.
Thirty years in Messinian gardens
We start from the soil, the aspect and the water of each site, and choose plants that thrive in the local climate. So the garden gets through its first summer, and every summer after.
The person behind every project
Georgios Maravas is an agricultural technologist with thirty years of work in the gardens, olive groves and plots of Messinia. He sees every site himself from the first visit, prepares the design and oversees construction and maintenance. When you call, you speak to the person who knows your garden.
Working alongside him is a team of professionals with our own crews and our own machinery: for earthworks, tree cutting, grass cutting and transport. The schedule depends on us, not on third parties.
Climate first, then the design
Messinia has a summer of its own: four months without rain, a sun that scorches at midday, water that is measured out in August. A garden designed for somewhere else pays for it in the first difficult year.
That is why all our work starts from three questions: what the soil holds, where the sun falls, how much water there really is. The answers decide the plants, the irrigation and the materials. The low-water Mediterranean garden is our natural ground, and a garden with a lawn is designed so that the lawn goes where it is really used.
A garden is an extension of the home and the business. We design it to live alongside them, not just for the photo on handover day.
From design to mowing, the same hands
Twelve services, from design and planning to pruning, irrigation and plot clearing. The advantage is continuity: whoever designed the garden knows why every plant went where it did, and whoever built it knows what it needs to stay the way it was handed over. No stage forgets what was decided in the one before.
Who we work for
Your home
From a new garden to a fortnightly mow. Whatever you need, it is the same phone number.
Holiday home or villa
We look after it while you are away. You arrive on a Friday evening and the garden is ready for you.
Hotel or guest accommodation
The garden is the first thing your guests see. We keep it at its best in exactly the weeks that matter.
Business premises
The grounds say things about your business that the shop window never gets the chance to.
Apartment building or property management
One programme, a cost you know in advance, and one person to call.
Municipality or public body
Parks, squares and sports grounds. We have the machinery the scale calls for and the experience a public tender requires.
Where we work
All over Messinia, based in Kalamata. If your property is outside Messinia, ask us.
We work in Greek, English and French. Holiday home owners from abroad and hotels with international staff deal with us directly.
One phone call and we are on our way
You tell us where the property is and what you have in mind. Ten minutes is enough for us to understand what is needed and arrange a visit.
