About Petr
16 Years of Landscape Design Excellence
Petr Dvořák isn't just another landscape architect — he's someone who genuinely believes outdoor spaces can transform how people live. With 16 years of hands-on experience across the Czech Republic, he's designed over 200 residential and commercial projects. His approach combines practical functionality with thoughtful aesthetics, focusing on sustainable solutions that actually work in the South Bohemian climate.
What sets him apart? He listens. Every garden tells a story, and Petr's job is to understand what your space needs before recommending solutions. Whether it's a compact urban terrace that needs to do double duty or an expansive estate that deserves careful planning, he brings the same level of attention and expertise.
At fundwise s.r.o., Petr channels his field knowledge into clear, actionable content that helps homeowners and design professionals understand landscape design principles. He's not interested in trends that fade — he focuses on timeless approaches that age beautifully and serve their purpose for decades.

Areas of Specialization
What Petr Focuses On
Contemporary Terrace Design
Modern outdoor living spaces need to do more than look good — they've got to function. Petr designs terraces that extend your home into nature, creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas. He considers sun exposure, wind patterns, sightlines, and seasonal changes. The result? Spaces you'll actually want to use year-round, not just in summer.
His terrace designs balance hardscaping materials with thoughtful plant selections. Native plants thrive better, need less maintenance, and support local ecosystems. Water-efficient irrigation systems keep your lawn healthy without wasting resources. Every element serves a purpose.
Sustainable Garden Solutions
Sustainability isn't a buzzword for Petr — it's the foundation of how he works. He designs gardens that reduce maintenance burden while improving environmental impact. This means native plant selection, proper soil composition, efficient water management, and thoughtful hardscaping choices.
South Bohemian climate patterns are different from Prague or Brno, and Petr knows this region intimately. He understands which plants thrive in České Budějovice's conditions, how much irrigation you'll actually need, and which materials weather best in local conditions. This knowledge comes from years of watching his own projects mature.

Design Philosophy
How Petr Approaches Every Project
"Every outdoor space, regardless of size or budget, deserves thoughtful design that balances aesthetics with practicality and environmental responsibility."
— Petr Dvořák
Petr doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Your garden isn't like anyone else's — it has unique sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and most importantly, your specific vision for how you want to use the space. His process starts with listening and observing, not selling you pre-made designs.
He's particularly drawn to contemporary approaches that incorporate native plants, water-efficient systems, and multi-functional areas. But he's not chasing trends. Designs that work for 20 years are better than designs that look good for 2 years.
At fundwise s.r.o., Petr combines field expertise with a genuine passion for education. He creates comprehensive guides and articles helping property owners understand landscape design principles and maintenance. If you're wondering whether something's possible, he'll explain why — and how.
