Who we are

It began with one man and one garden in Mafra. Today it is a group that builds, plants and looks after spaces across the country.

In 1999, Vítor Alves founded the company as its only employee. More than two decades later, Grupo Alves brings together four companies, in-house landscape architecture and civil engineering, and its own teams at every stage of the work.

Each company keeps its own specialism. All of them share the same way of working: rigour, a close relationship with the client and commitment to the result.

Our companies

Four specialists, one group.

Each company has its own identity, team and website. Together, they cover everything a space needs — from the foundations to the flowers.
