“We want to make beautiful gardens affordable. Do it yourself or with us. DIY is part of our philosophy.”
Umilys is a garden landscape firm specialized in the design of private and public gardens and green spaces, emphasizing contemporary aesthetics and biodiversity preservation. Our landscapers place great importance on environmental impact, minimal maintenance requirements, as well as the design and functionality of the developed space.
“Creating a garden is both a rediscovery and an adventure, a vision of paradise, a place that connects us to a landscape we have loved and that soothes us by reconnecting us with nature. It is about feeling an emotional bond with other forms of life and accessing their vitality.”
By collaborating with us, you benefit from a comprehensive garden design concept, including the meticulous selection of plants. Thanks to our extensive network of suppliers, we offer quality plants at advantageous rates to transform your outdoor space. The ambiances we propose are a selection of plant arrangements tested in our trial garden in La Hulpe, Belgium.
With Umilys, you are not just buying plants, you are investing in a living ambiance. We design the plans, write the planting instructions, carefully select the plants, and then the scene is yours: plant them yourself or hire our gardeners. Whatever your approach, our goal remains unchanged: to create a beautiful and unique space that aligns with your budget preferences.
Happiness is knowing what you want and wanting it passionately. I believe I have finally found happiness in garden design.” – Lorenzo del Marmol, Founder and Project Manager at Umilys
Umilys aims to contribute to the beautification of the world. With this spirit, we developed the garden kit concept, with the mission to enhance as many green spaces as possible and to promote biodiversity in urban areas.
Our approach is rooted in empirical observation of the interaction between spaces, structures, seasons, and climate. Our trial and demonstration garden, established in 2018 in La Hulpe, has become our laboratory where we experiment with plant resilience, reveal their aesthetic potential, and create captivating plant harmonies. Currently, we are exploring over 9 ambiances on a 60-are surface.
We are committed to designing unique projects, where each space reveals an exceptional ambiance and carries profound meaning. Our creations invite owners to live in the moment or to forge lasting connections if they choose to make these gardens their haven. Each of our designed spaces leaves an indelible mark, evokes powerful emotions, and acts as true therapy for souls seeking sensory awakening. Our creations consist of plant or mineral structures, topiaries, and carefully arranged contemporary forms. To us, a garden is a living work of art, an aesthetic symphony in perpetual metamorphosis, even when winter puts nature to sleep.
“I believe that the banalization and standardization of our era prevail too often, as we tend to smooth out our environment. For me, creating a garden with character becomes almost an act of rebellion or social resistance. Each garden and its living space must express a character; there must be a vision and an ambiance that reconnect us to the essential and to time. In some cases, the garden can even be designed as an ephemeral contemporary work of art.” – Lorenzo del Marmol
Our ultimate goal is to create another world, an enchanting ambiance composed subtly of delicate little things. Like hidden gems in the greenery, a series of bushes adorned with bright splashes of color reveal a fascinating “graphic” on the bark of a tree, while the interplay of light filtering through the foliage dances with the rhythm of the wind, inviting daydreams.
We are technophile alchemists of nature, dedicated to the flourishing of the senses and the celebration of the beauties that surround us. Our artistic and committed approach brings to life the uniqueness of each place, where happiness blossoms in a perfect union between nature and passion. Join us in this artistic adventure and let us create an extraordinary garden for you.
