About Xolimo
Xolimo was established in 2015 by a group of horticulturists and landscape architects who shared a vision of bringing sustainable garden design to London properties. What began as a small team of three specialists working from a single office in Islington has grown into a comprehensive landscape service provider.
Our company emerged from a simple observation: many property owners in London wanted outdoor spaces that balanced aesthetic appeal with practical maintenance requirements. We started by focusing on residential gardens in North London, gradually expanding our services to include commercial properties, public spaces, and specialized horticultural projects across the capital.
Our Approach to Landscape Services
We operate on the principle that outdoor spaces should serve their owners' needs while respecting local ecology. This means selecting plants suited to London's climate, designing irrigation systems that conserve water, and creating layouts that require reasonable maintenance effort.
Our team includes seven full-time landscape designers, twelve maintenance specialists, and three horticultural consultants. Each brings specific expertise, from soil science to hardscape construction, allowing us to handle projects of varying complexity.
What Guides Our Work
We prioritize practical solutions over trendy designs that may not suit British weather patterns. Our recommendations consider factors like soil composition, drainage requirements, sun exposure, and the time clients can realistically dedicate to garden upkeep.
Transparency matters in our operations. We provide detailed project timelines, itemized cost breakdowns, and regular progress updates. When challenges arise during installation or maintenance, we communicate options clearly rather than making decisions without client input.
Sustainable Practices
We source plants from UK nurseries, use organic fertilizers where appropriate, and design water-efficient irrigation systems that reduce consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional methods.
Technical Expertise
Our team holds certifications from the Royal Horticultural Society and regularly attends workshops on soil management, pest control, and contemporary landscape techniques.
Client Communication
We schedule consultations at times convenient for property owners, respond to inquiries within 24 hours, and provide written documentation of all service agreements and maintenance schedules.
Our Service Capabilities
Since 2015, we have developed expertise across multiple aspects of landscape work:
- Garden design for properties ranging from compact urban courtyards to estates exceeding two acres
- Seasonal maintenance programs tailored to specific plant varieties and soil conditions
- Hardscape installation including patios, pathways, and retaining walls using locally sourced materials
- Irrigation system design and installation with smart controllers that adjust to weather conditions
