About Groencoach
A different perspective on garden and landscape
Groencoach designs based on ecology, experience, and engagement. Rather than following trends, the starting point is the specific site, the people, and the climate. Each project is carefully crafted into a sustainable outdoor space with character—one that evolves alongside its surroundings and contributes to a resilient living environment.
"When you pursue your profession with passion, it doesn’t feel like work. If you combine that same passion with imagination and craftsmanship, you can make any dream a reality."
Willy Otto, Groencoach
Passion for nature
Greenery is more than just decoration: every design supports plants, animals, and the soil, ensuring the garden or outdoor space is sustainable and resilient.
Knowledge and craftsmanship
Ecological insights and 30 years of practical experience ensure well-considered, feasible solutions.
Collaboration and communication
From gardens to public projects: agreements, quality, communication, and long-term impact are central.
From private gardens to civic projects and international initiatives, each project demonstrates how ecological design and climate adaptation work in practice.
We had a great experience working with 'de Groencoach' on the redesign of our city courtyard. Our goal was to transform our small, entirely paved, grey space into a "courtyard forest." Willy fully took into account our desire to remove as much paving as possible, introduce greenery, and implement water-buffering solutions. He also helped us select the right plants. Another plus was that we were able to assist with the actual work, which helped us keep costs down. We are thrilled with the final result—it’s truly something to show off!
