Landscaping is increasingly becoming a key focus in residential projects in Chennai, with innovative elements such as forests and waterbodies being integrated into the designs. Whether they are mid-range apartments, luxury residences or individual homes, there is a growing emphasis on attractive outdoor areas. Developers in Chennai are engaging top landscape architects to add value and expertise to their projects, while also strengthening their internal landscaping teams.
According to real estate players, well-designed landscaping boosts the visual appeal of residential areas, fostering a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Homes with attractive landscaping often see increased property values, enhancing both rental and resale potential. “Plants and trees in landscaping contribute to a healthier environment by absorbing carbon dioxide, producing oxygen, and reducing air pollution.
They also help to control soil erosion and improve water quality by filtering rainwater,” says G. Diliban, Managing Director of Etica Developers, a firm that primarily focuses on the luxury segment. Photo for representation purpose.
