My path

About me

Ing. Miriam
Brkalová

I work with gardens as both a designer and a builder. My love of hiking led me to plants: out on the trail I discovered the beauty of nature and wanted to bring it into urban spaces. I enjoy finding a solution that fits a specific house, plot and the people who live there, rather than repeating the same template.

I treat every project as a unique story. Each of us experiences privacy and calm differently, which is why communication with the client matters most to me. I want the garden to suit the character of the house, the family's way of life and the natural character of the surroundings, and to be sustainable in the long run, in harmony with nature.

I carry out planting and care according to current standards and norms for green space management. I believe a beautiful garden should never be a compromise; it should delight you every morning.

Frequently asked questions

What people most often ask before starting a new garden.

How does the garden design process work?

We start with a free consultation and a visit to the plot. When designing the garden of a family house, I always start from the client's needs and the character of the plot. I prepare the design in line with the principles of garden design and current standards and norms for green space management, with an emphasis on function, aesthetics, ecological principles and long-term sustainability. I take care to choose plants suited to the site conditions, prefer species that support biodiversity and avoid invasive plants, so that the garden is not only beautiful but also gentle on the surrounding environment and easy to maintain. After your approval, construction and planting follow.

How much do garden design and installation cost?

The price of both design and installation is always individual and depends on the size of the plot, the scope of the project and the client's ideas. After a free consultation I will prepare a specific, tailored quote for you.

Which areas do you work in?

I work across the Czech Republic, mainly in the Central Bohemian Region and in Prague. We will gladly agree the exact scope and options for your location during the consultation.

How long does installation take?

The duration depends on the scope of the project and the time of year. I always specify the exact timeline in the quote so that you know what to expect.

Will you look after the garden after it is built?

Yes. Our cooperation does not end with the build; I also offer follow-up care and maintenance so the garden looks good in the following seasons as well.
