How Soil Becomes a Green Oasis - What Mr. Dimitris Kademnidis, founder of Kipocreta Green Works, says to Cretalive
“How do you envision your garden?” This is the first question posed by the people at Kipocreta Green Works, the space where you can dedicate your free time, enjoy tranquility, solitude, or moments of fun with friends and loved ones. This is a company that confidently states it can turn your dream of a beautiful garden into reality! Whether it's a family creating their own home, a hotel unit looking to invest in a well-maintained outdoor space, an apartment intended for short-term rental, a business, or a public entity... whatever your need, you have skilled professionals ready to listen, advise, and help you create a green oasis suitable for relaxation and/or entertainment. The journey began in 2017 with Mr. Dimitris Kademnidis, a person with a deep relationship with the earth, which he respects and loves. Guided by this passion, he found himself in Messolonghi, at the threshold of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Water Resources at the University of Patras. In the amphitheaters and laboratories of the department, he learned how to translate science into action. Completing his studies in 2003 and absorbing as much as he could from his professors, he returned to Crete and Heraklion with his diploma in hand. His professional start was in a company focused on the construction and maintenance of gardens. With his dedication and passion, he quickly rose to oversee project design and management. With a love for the field he chose to serve and the need to offer even more in the design of green spaces, he founded Kipocreta, providing services that include design, planning, 3D visualization, construction, garden maintenance, and the installation of synthetic grass. Alongside him are specialized professionals with experience in the field who are continually trained to keep up with new developments, ensuring a reliable outcome. His love for the earth and his creative need are two elements he combines in his work. “You start with a space that is just soil, and in the end, you give the world a beautiful result”: this is how he describes his work, which serves as his best advertisement. After all, his greatest reward is the smile on the faces of his collaborators when they see the outcome of his touch. In every project, he leaves his mark, and when he looks around, he feels proud and fulfilled. The fact that he treats each job he undertakes as his own “child” is recognized by his clients, who see him as an ally in making their space even more beautiful and functional! Step 1: Design Partners, individuals, and professionals reach out to Kipocreta, where they present their desires and possibilities. The process begins with design, planning, and 3D visualization, allowing everyone to see what the final result will look like. An assessment of the space is conducted to determine the potential for plants and construction materials, followed by the appropriate economic and technical study. Factors such as the quantity and quality of available water, soil type, and specific climatic conditions play a crucial role in creating and, most importantly, sustaining a garden. All of these are analyzed and utilized by specialists who contribute their expertise for the best possible outcome. A significant advantage of Kipocreta is its collaboration with a landscape architect who digitally captures the exact image your garden will have when completed! In the designs created, imagination, dreams, and ideas meet experience, knowledge, and practice, ensuring that when they become reality, you will be able to enjoy a dreamy green space! Step 2: Implementation Gradually, the plan begins to take shape. Specialized teams, consisting of trusted professionals with whom the company has a stable partnership, begin the work. A flurry of projects transforms an indifferent space into a green paradise. Kipocreta's main concern is to help clients achieve the garden they dream of, accomplished through technical knowledge, experience, and the passion of its team. During construction, complete mechanical equipment is provided for projects of all forms and sizes, along with suitable vehicles. The company’s teams are the last to leave when a new residence is built, as they are the ones who deliver the keys to the owner. With diligence and care, they complete their assigned tasks. Step 3: Maintenance However, Kipocreta's contribution to a space, a residence, or a hotel unit does not end here. Maintenance is equally crucial for the garden to maintain its appearance over time. Teams from the company handle various tasks such as plant grooming, watering, pruning, fertilizing, and all necessary activities to keep a green space "alive," functional, and serving its intended purpose. A Shift to Synthetic Grass In recent years, many individuals and professionals have turned to synthetic grass solutions. Its use offers an innovative way to create lush gardens, impressive landscaping, and safe playgrounds for children. Its main advantages include durability over time and zero maintenance costs, providing a green space year-round. The company has invested in this area, offering a wide range of products with experience and excellent expertise in proper installation. The Face of the Company is Its Projects Since 2017, Kipocreta Green Works has taken care of spaces in large hotel units across Crete, businesses, residences, and rooftop gardens while recognizing the significance of urban greenery for every city. Mr. Dimitris Kademnidis is someone who listens to the needs of his clients and shares his vision with them. “Let’s create your garden together,” is the company’s motto, reflecting the enthusiasm and energy of its team. Their projects are based on your desires combined with their knowledge and experience. The company’s journey is dynamic, and many opportunities lie ahead. A glance at what they have created so far highlights the true importance of a garden, a surrounding space that adds value to a property. When the design of a green space is integrated into the construction of a building from the ground up, instead of being done later, the result is better, saving time and resources. Ideally, all professionals collaborate beforehand for the best outcome, both in the interior and exterior of a property. However, when the role of the company taking on the creation of a green space comes at a later stage, the process requires more time to complete correctly and, of course, is more costly. Investing in a green paradise is a no-brainer for anyone who wants to spend time outside the confines of four walls—this is well-known by hoteliers who receive positive reviews and comments from their guests. “The garden is the showcase, the extension of our home; it’s a source of life, our therapy,” states Mr. Kademnidis, and we can only agree with him! |
