Our transformations capture this magic and show the power of thoughtful design. From colourful flowerbeds to calming water features, each project offers endless possibilities.

The revitalisation of an overgrown garden

An overgrown garden can quickly become a burden - but it often harbours hidden treasures. Potential. Perhaps you would like more structure, a place to sit and linger or a place that brings joy again. With a well thought-out Garden design the once desolate area becomes a green pearl of nature.

With targeted garden planning, new planting, grasses and elements such as walls, hedges or water features, a completely new garden can be created step by step. Awareness of life in the garden. The direct comparison is particularly exciting. Our before and after pictures impressively show what is possible. This makes the remodelling a real project of the heart.

Before - after: what we have made of the most diverse gardens and terraces

Overflow pool with wooden deck

A large lawn previously dominated here too. The chemical-free Living Pool blends in perfectly with the surroundings. Instead of the large fir tree, there is now a pergola at the end of the garden. This allows the entire length of the garden to be utilised.

Retreat with fountain

The fountain can be used to enjoy a sunny afternoon in the seating area. The interplay between the fountain and the plants creates a cosy atmosphere in this seating area.

The previous garden had little structure. Here, the placement of individual trees and curved planting created a small paradise with a great sense of space.

Where the lawn used to dominate, there is now a swimming pool with a wooden bench. The addition of a pergola makes the garden look even more modern. Even the hottest summer days can be enjoyed by the water in the shade of the pergola.

The chemical-free Living Pool fulfils the desire for a natural swimming garden. The lush planting surrounds the pool, while the espalier trees at the side provide privacy and a modern touch.

This bathing garden impresses with its planting and the corresponding atmosphere. The plants and pool give this bathing garden a Mediterranean flair.

A Mediterranean garden through and through. The materials used for the terracing give the garden a special flair. The wall has made it possible to utilise a lot of space. The highlight is of course the pool.

Pool in small garden

This charming garden was complemented by a Living Pool. As soon as the sunlight hits the water of the Living Pool, the whole garden lights up.

Even if there doesn't seem to be much space available, almost all ideas and wishes can be realised. By placing the pool at the edge of the garden, a swimming area was created. The planting loosens everything up.

Stairs to the bathing area

Before the redesign, this garden lost its charm in autumn. Dieser Garten auf zwei Ebenen besticht mit einem Brunnen und einem Schwimmteich.

The terracing was overcome with a marvellous staircase. Surrounded by lush grasses, this is a design highlight in itself. A natural bathing paradise opens up at the end of the steps.

Swimming pool & fountain

Before the creation of a retreat in the middle of the mountains. The swimming pool and fountain provide the client with relaxation and tranquillity.

This garden is a real highlight in summer and autumn. When the house was remodelled and the new extension added, the garden was also redesigned. The view of the mountains remains unobstructed and more privacy was created at the same time.

A terrace on the canopy

A quiet retreat has been created on this terrace with a seating area.

The canopy above the garage was hardly ever used. The slabs were merely a path to the higher level. The new design has created a cosy lounge area with plenty of privacy and lush planting.

Modern overflow pool

The overflow pool blends harmoniously into the garden and adds elegance.

The ageing swimming pond was replaced by a Living Pool with an overflow pool. The water surface is flush with the surrounding area. This makes the garden appear more open and the area more usable.

The pool liner was coming loose in the corners. The cloudy water was uninviting, which is why the customer decided to renovate it. The new Living Pool is cleaned without chemicals. The wall was clad with wood.

The steps in garden design

Here are four important steps that serve as a guide:

  • Sunlight: It is important to consider how much sun the different areas receive in order to place plants accordingly.
  • Paths: The paths should be laid out in such a way that visitors can enjoy the beauty without disturbing the growth.
  • Heights: Tall plants need to be at the back and lower ones at the front to create visibility and depth.
  • Focal points: Certain plant groups and special plants serve as eye-catchers to attract attention and arouse interest.

Creating a living floral wonderland

A garden can show its colours with pride. If you want a vibrant floral wonderland, it all starts with a clever Garden planning and the courage to embrace diversity. Your own garden becomes an expression of your personality. Whether you want a natural design or clearly structured beds, your ideas take centre stage.

Selection of colourful plant species

Colourful flowers, grasses in soft shades and trees with character create a lively atmosphere. The right planting provides structure and makes individual areas in the garden special. How everything works together is also important.

A beautiful lawn, accompanied by fragrant perennials, makes the result glow, and the before-and-after comparison is often impressive. If you like variety, combine early and late bloomers so that the garden shines all year round.

Embellish garden accessories

These are small details with a big impact. Add extra charm with selected garden accessories. A Fountain or water feature gives the garden both peace and movement.

A wooden privacy screen or a natural stone wall emphasise individual levels and create a sense of security. A decorative gate, a path made of natural stone slabs or a cosy seating area on the wooden deck also make a subtle difference and give your garden a new look.

Gardens are works of art in the open air. Every element plays together in the creative redesign. From a pergola at the staircase to an elegantly curved wooden terrace overlooking a colourful pond. Horticulture opens up countless possibilities for feeling, flair and style.

A well thought-out conversion creates attractive terraces around the house, steps with character or a lounge area as the centrepiece. Everything fits together and turns the garden into a special place.

Water elements

Water brings life to the garden. It calms, reflects in the sun and creates atmosphere. Whether a small fountain, a large water basin or a natural swimming pond, water elements create emotions and turn wishes into reality. The before and after effect? Often astounding. A simple area is transformed into an inviting oasis where you and your guests will want to linger.

Location for the water feature

The right place is crucial. The water feature should be placed where it will really come into its own, for example near a seating area or as an eye-catcher along the path. The incidence of light also plays a role. Sparkling water in the sunlight magically attracts attention and adds dynamism to your garden design.

  1. Visibility: Place your water feature where it can be easily seen by guests.
  2. Sound: Make sure that the soothing sound of the water reaches your favourite relaxation spot.
  3. Light shows: Position the water feature in a place that receives sufficient light.
  4. Accessibility: Make sure that it is easily accessible for maintenance work.

Selection of suitable materials

Natural stone, wood, ceramic - the choice of material characterises the overall look. Natural stone blends harmoniously into the surroundings, while modern stainless steel elements can provide a clear accent. The decisive factor is that it matches the style of your garden and harmonises with other materials such as walls or planting.

Integration of natural elements

A water feature looks particularly authentic when it is accompanied by plants, stones and wooden elements. Reeds, grasses or flowering riverside plants create soft transitions. An adjacent embankment or a path with natural stone can also round off the overall look. In this way, the water element becomes part of the larger whole - harmoniously embedded and full of life.

Outdoor seating area

A well thought-out design can enrich gatherings and bring joy to you and your guests. Here are four important tips:

  1. Choose comfortable seating: Opt for weatherproof furniture with soft cushions that invite you to relax and entertain.
  2. Integrate a fireplace: A fireplace serves as an eye-catcher, provides warmth and creates an inviting atmosphere for evening gatherings.
  3. Use soft lighting: Fairy lights or lanterns create a warm, inviting glow and set the mood for gatherings with family and friends.
  4. Add personal touches: Cosy blankets, outdoor rugs and decorative cushions make you feel good.

If you approach the design with love, you will soon be rewarded with a garden that not only looks good, but also tastes good. This creates a connection between Nature and pleasure - right on your own doorstep.

Swimming pool or C-side mini pool?

It is important to create a harmonious connection with the rest: terraces, lawns, privacy screens and matching walls from the horticultural sector create the framework.
