Costa del Sol Landscape Studio
PRANA designs, plants and maintains exceptional outdoor spaces across Marbella, Benahavís and the Costa del Sol — from championship lawns to full estate landscapes.
Our Philosophy
Three of them arrived at this together — an architect from Iraq, an engineer from Finland, and a woman from Ukraine who asked only one question: what will remain? They met at the World Circular Economy Forum. Between them, decades of work across four continents. They understood how the world worked. That was precisely the problem.
In 2022, they came to the Costa del Sol with one shared obsession: a garden should do something to you. Stop you. Slow your breath. Make you forget, for a moment, that you had somewhere else to be.
PRANA was born from that. Not a business plan. A feeling they refused to leave behind.
Prana. The breath inside all living things. We simply refuse to waste it.

What We Do
Full garden design and planting — from first concept through to finished ground, built around how your plot catches sun, slope and sea wind, and planted with species chosen to thrive without babying.
Weather-linked automatic systems and soil-moisture sensors that water evenly and conserve water, designed within current Junta de Andalucía restrictions.
Natural turf and premium artificial grass, laid to suit your ground and kept immaculate with scheduled mowing, aeration and overseeding through the growing season.

Scheduled pruning, hedge trimming and seasonal tidy-ups that keep a garden looking considered all year, not just after a big push each spring.
Low-voltage landscape lighting — uplights on specimen trees, path lighting and a soft glow along the pool edge — designed to flatter the planting after dark, not compete with it.
Natural stone and gravel pathways laid to guide movement through the garden, with drainage and falls worked out before the first slab goes down.
Dry-stone and mortared retaining walls that turn a sloped or uneven plot into level, usable terraces — built to hold, not just to look the part.
Planting, paving and shade structures designed around the pool itself — species chosen to cope with reflected heat and splash, without dropping mess into the water.
Our Specialism
Lawns are where PRANA began, and where our engineering runs deepest. Every lawn we lay is chosen, drained and irrigated for the specific microclimate of your plot — not a catalogue default.
Soil analysis, precise grading and a drainage plan worked out before a single roll of turf goes down — the groundwork that decides whether a lawn thrives or fails.
Drought-resistant warm-season varieties — Bermuda, Zoysia, Paspalum — for full sun, and premium artificial turf for shaded terraces, rooftops and heavy-shade courtyards.
Weather-linked automatic systems, drip lines for beds, and soil-moisture sensors that cut water use — designed within current Junta de Andalucía restrictions.
Core aeration, overseeding and targeted repair that bring a tired, patchy or drought-stressed lawn back to dense, even green — often without a full re-turf.
Scheduled mowing at the right height for each season, plus a two-stage fertilisation programme timed to the Mediterranean growing calendar — not a generic quarter.
The PRANA Standard
"The garden that makes time stop."

FAQ

Contact usMost residential projects run 6–12 weeks from groundworks to planting, depending on scale and hardscaping. We agree a fixed timeline with you before any work begins.
Yes — much of the Costa del Sol is terraced hillside. We regularly engineer retaining walls, drainage and stepped planting for gradients that other contractors turn away.
For most gardens we recommend drought-resistant warm-season varieties such as Bermuda or Zoysia, paired with smart irrigation. Artificial turf is popular on shaded terraces and rooftops where natural grass struggles.
We design every irrigation system to comply with current Junta de Andalucía water-use restrictions, and handle any required community or municipal permits on your behalf.
Design-and-build projects include a 12-month maintenance period. Beyond that, our Essential, Signature and Estate packages cover mowing, feeding, pruning and irrigation checks year-round.
Our project managers and crews work comfortably in English, Spanish and Russian, so you're never without clear communication.
