Garden design and new gardens
Whether it is a new-build plot, an overgrown garden or a front garden that should finally be low-maintenance: we plan it with you and make it happen.
A new garden starts with questions: how will you use it? How much maintenance do you want to do yourself? Where is it sunny, where is it shady? Your answers shape a concept that suits your everyday life – not just a nice photo.
We handle the work from soil preparation to the very last plant. If you wish, we can then take over the maintenance so that the garden stays the way it was planned.

How a new garden project works
On-site meeting
We discuss use, style, maintenance effort and budget.
Concept
You receive a design sketch with planting suggestions and a quote.
Implementation
We prepare the soil, lay out the areas and plant.
Establishment
We explain the aftercare or take it on for the first few months.
Good to know
Under section 8 of the North Rhine-Westphalia building regulations (Landesbauordnung NRW), the unbuilt areas of developed plots should be permeable to water and planted. Pure gravel gardens are therefore generally not permitted, and some towns go further in their local development plans. That is why we design low-maintenance front gardens with plants rather than gravel.
The best time to plant is spring or autumn. Turf can be laid almost all year round as long as the ground is not frozen.
What the cost depends on
- Size of the area and extent of the redesign
- Condition and type of soil
- Choice and size of plants
- Lawn seeding or turf
- Disposal of old planting and excavated soil
We only quote a reliable price once we have seen the site. The site visit and the initial consultation are free and non-binding.

Will I get a plan in advance?
Yes. Before work starts, you receive a design sketch with planting suggestions. That way you can see what will be created before the work begins.
How long does a new garden take?
A front garden is often finished in a few days. Larger gardens take correspondingly longer. We state the exact time frame in the quote.
Do you guarantee that the plants will take?
What we cover for the plants is set out in the quote. Above all, correct watering in the first few weeks is important. We explain exactly what to do or take on the aftercare ourselves.
