About Sunyani Landscapes

Creating extraordinary outdoor environments since 2011

Founded by Kwame Agyei and Ama Mensah, Sunyani Landscapes began as a passion project between two landscape architecture graduates determined to elevate the standard of outdoor design in Ghana. What started as a small consultancy operating from Kwame's family home has evolved into West Africa's premier landscape design firm, specializing in ultra-luxury residential properties.

Our journey has been shaped by Ghana's unique ecological challenges and opportunities, incorporating both international design principles and traditional Ghanaian spatial concepts. Over the past decade, we've grown from two passionate founders to a diverse team of over 30 specialists, while maintaining our commitment to personalized service and uncompromising quality.

Our Mission & Values

The principles that guide our work and define our approach

Environmental Harmony

We believe truly exceptional landscapes must work with nature, not against it. Every project begins with a comprehensive ecological assessment to understand the site's natural systems. Our designs enhance biodiversity, manage water resources responsibly, and create resilient outdoor environments that thrive in Ghana's climate while minimizing environmental impact.

Cultural Authenticity

Our designs celebrate Ghana's rich cultural heritage while embracing contemporary aesthetics. We incorporate traditional spatial concepts, indigenous materials, and local craftsmanship to create landscapes with authentic sense of place. This commitment to cultural context ensures our designs feel deeply connected to their surroundings while meeting international standards of luxury and functionality.

Excellence in Execution

Exceptional design requires flawless implementation. We maintain rigorous quality control throughout the installation process, employing master craftspeople and specialized techniques to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards. Our thorough project management approach guarantees timely completion while accommodating the complexities inherent in creating sophisticated outdoor environments.
