Services

What the studio can prepare for a yard

Five kinds of work, all of them on paper and on foot. None of them is a truck of plants or a building crew. Fees are a written quote, explained on the offer page.

01

Yard reading

For a household that has a yard and is not sure what it can hold, or which of the existing shrubs are worth keeping.

This is the usual first step. Daniil Bragarciuc spends about ninety minutes on site and then writes what the place is actually doing: where the sun falls, where water sits, what the spade finds, and how people cross the space on an ordinary day.

Purpose

Decide what the ground can support before money is spent on plants that will not live there.

Scope

One courtyard, front garden, or side yard, generally up to about 400 square metres. A larger plot is quoted only if one visit can still see the whole of it. The reading does not include a full plant schedule. It may name one plant to keep and one to remove.

How it proceeds

You send the town, the approximate size, and photos. You receive a quote. After you accept, the visit is booked. The notes arrive by email within ten days.

What you receive

An annotated sketch, a short written reading, the constraints, and a recommendation to stop, to plan, or to change the brief. Soil laboratory tests and boundary surveys are not included.

02

Planting plan

For someone who already knows they want to plant in the coming autumn or spring.

The plan sits on the reading. It places trees, shrubs, and herbs around the paths that already exist, and it says what to plant, where, in which month, and how far apart. A gardener who was not at the visit should be able to follow it.

Purpose

Replace guesswork with a layout and a schedule.

Scope

The same plot as the reading, with one round of revisions after you read the draft. The house, the fence line, and the drains stay as they are. If a downpipe is wrecking a bed, the bed moves. The pipe is not redesigned.

How it proceeds

A reading comes first, unless you already have a recent survey and the studio agrees it is enough. Then a draft, your comments, and a final file. A standard courtyard draft is sent within fifteen days of the visit.

What you receive

A layout, a plant schedule with quantities and spacing, the planting month, and first-year care notes. You buy the plants. The schedule names the size to ask a nursery for.

03

Compact orchard

For a family that wants fruit on a town plot without shading the house or the neighbor's vegetables.

Usually two to eight trees, sometimes a grape on a wire or on a pergola that is already standing. The positions respect windows, covers over tanks, and the light next door. This can be the whole job or one part of a wider planting plan.

Purpose

Put fruit where it can be picked and pruned from the ground.

Scope

Positions, distances, and a shortlist that can live with Moldova's winters, late frosts, and dry summers. Pollination is dealt with when a variety needs a partner. The exact rootstock is named only when a nursery can supply it. Otherwise the plan says what mature size to ask for.

How it proceeds

The reading includes the edges and the two spade tests. A shortlist is proposed. You say what you actually eat. The drawing uses that list, not a display of every fruit the region can grow.

What you receive

Positions with distances, a note on size, pollination pairs where they are needed, and the first three years of training in plain language. Yield is not guaranteed. A late frost can take blossom. Where the yard is a frost pocket, early apricot is not the recommendation.

04

Care calendar

For the person who will do the watering and the pruning, and does not want a magazine page that ignores their yard.

Most failed plantings were fine in May. They were abandoned when the heat arrived. The calendar is one year of tasks for the plants in your plan: establishment water, mulch, the dormant window for apple and grape, and what not to do in a heatwave.

Purpose

Give the first year a routine that matches the drawing.

Scope

Written tasks for the plants that were specified. An optional visit of about an hour in the first June or July to check stakes, water, and gaps. The studio does not provide a weekly gardener and does not spray pesticides as a service.

How it proceeds

The sheet is written with the plan. If you book the summer visit, it is one appointment, then a short note of what to change.

What you receive

The month-by-month sheet, and the visit note if you booked the check. Replacement plants, if any are needed, are your cost unless the schedule itself miscounted.

05

Guesthouse arrival

For a small guesthouse or a family pension that wants the walk from the gate to the door to look orderly when the host is with guests.

The work is that sequence and one place to sit, not the entire grounds. Plants are chosen for structure, a little scent, and a lower need for daily fuss. Flowering is welcome. Fragile collections are not.

Purpose

Make the arrival readable and shade one seat, without adding a second job to the host's day.

Scope

The entrance and one terrace or court. Sound trees stay. If the ground is paved and cannot be opened, the plan can use pots. Signage, parking layout, and a season-long maintenance contract are not part of the work.

How it proceeds

A walk with the host, a note of what must not change, including luggage access, then a sketch and a list a local gardener can install.

What you receive

An arrival sketch, the plant list, and notes for whoever waters. It is not a brand design for a hotel and not a promise that the court will look finished in the first month.
