Welkom bij Stones & Green
Oosterzele combines rural tranquility with proximity to the city. Spacious plots surrounded by greenery, churches towering above the treetops, and soil that is just as distinctive as the landscape is beautiful. The clay soils in the Land van Rode call for a contractor who can not only design beautifully but also knows how to build a garden on heavy soil that will last for years.
At Stones & Green, we start every total concept in Oosterzele with two analyses: the design (what do you want to see and use?) and the soil (what can the ground handle?). This combination is essential, because even the most beautiful planting fails if planted in untreated clay, and the sleekest terrace sinks if the foundation is not adapted to the soil conditions.
The heavy clay soils in the Land van Rode place specific demands on both paving and planting. Not every plant thrives on clay: species that prefer dry, airy soils lose their roots in the waterlogged clay and die within two seasons. Conversely, certain species flourish exceptionally well on clay, provided the drainage is properly installed.
Our landscape architect Ellen knows those nuances. She selects plants specifically suited to the East Flemish clay soil: species that can withstand wet winters and dry summers, that root in compact soils, and that provide structure and color year-round. Combined with targeted soil improvement (tilling, composting, drainage), the result is a garden that not only looks good in the first season but grows more beautiful year after year.
The same logic applies to the paving. On clay soil, we lay a thicker foundation layer with extra compaction so that terraces and driveways do not subside due to seasonal ground movement. This knowledge of the local soil is an advantage you do not get with a contractor driving up from another region.
At Stones & Green, a total concept means that every discipline, from earthworks and paving to landscaping and lighting, is executed by our own team. No subcontractors following their own schedules, no miscommunication regarding materials or color variations, and no delays because one team has to wait for another.
We coordinate the phases in the logically correct order: first the underground works (sewerage, drainage, cables), then the foundations and paving, followed by the structures (possibly a pool house or pergola), and finally the landscaping and lighting. This sequence prevents newly constructed sections from having to be dug up again.
More and more clients in Oosterzele are integrating a swimming pool or swimming pond into their overall concept. The spacious plots in the Land van Rode offer the perfect space for this. At Stones & Green, we design the swimming pool, the surrounding terrace, the fencing, and the landscaping as part of a single design. The ceramic tiled terrace extends seamlessly to the edge of the pool, the pool house visually aligns with the facade materials of your home, and the landscaping encloses the entire ensemble like a green frame.

The ultimate goal of a total concept is that you no longer have to worry about anything after completion. The garden is finished, every element is coordinated with the other, and all that remains for you is to enjoy it.
But Stones & Green remains available even after completion. Do you feel the need for additional seasonal planting after a year? Would you like to expand the garden lighting? Are you considering adding a swimming pool after all? We know your garden, your design, and your plot, and can seamlessly integrate any additional element into the existing whole.

Ja, onze tuinarchitect en tuinaannemers analyseren de bodemkwaliteit. Bij zware gronden voorzien we bodemverbetering en kiezen we planten die floreren in deze specifieke omstandigheden.
Hoewel het ontwerp één geheel vormt, kunnen we de realisatie indien gewenst in logische fases opsplitsen, bijvoorbeeld eerst de grondwerken en bestrating, en later de beplanting of een zwembad.
Een standaard tuinrenovatie neemt gemiddeld twee tot vier weken in beslag. Grotere projecten met zwembad, poolhouse en uitgebreide groenaanleg kunnen vier tot acht weken duren. Wij plannen elke fase vooraf en houden u doorlopend op de hoogte.
Ja, onze hovenier biedt structureel tuinonderhoud aan: snoeiwerk, onkruidbestrijding, seizoensbeplanting en gazononderhoud. Zo blijft uw tuin er het hele jaar door verzorgd uitzien.
