Carterre

A garden should not have to wait years to gain character. Carterre designs and creates gardens that convey a sense of calm, maturity and coherence from the very first moment.

By working with mature planting, authentic materials and a well-considered design, they create an outdoor space that immediately feels as though it has been there for years.

Every Carterre garden is designed in harmony with the architecture of the home and the character of the landscape. They work on both new-build projects and garden renovations, tailoring each design to the specific plot, regardless of size, location or context.

Carterre creates gardens throughout Flanders and beyond, always with the same attention to detail, sustainability and timeless appeal.

The strength of this family business lies in the craftsmanship and deeply rooted passion of the two Van den Brande brothers.

They keep searching for true authenticity. They keep working diligently. And with passion, they lead their exceptional team in creating some of the most iconic garden projects.

What sets Carterre apart?

A garden with character does not come about by chance. It requires a combination of design, plant knowledge, material sensitivity and craftsmanship. Carterre brings these disciplines together in one integrated approach.

1. Mature gardens

Many newly created gardens need years to develop character. Carterre deliberately works with larger plants and layered structures so the garden gains volume and maturity from day one.

2. Authentic materials

Natural stone, reclaimed cobblestones and materials with patina give a garden a timeless look. Materials with a history create an atmosphere that is difficult to achieve with new materials.

3. Design and execution in one hand

When design and execution are handled by different parties, part of the original vision is often lost. Carterre oversees the entire process, from the first sketch to final completion.

4. An eye for detail

The strength of a garden lies in the details. Sightlines, material transitions, proportions and planting structures are carefully worked out.
