«On a slope, you always want to create as much usable, i.e. flat, area as possible. A slope may seem like a handicap at first. If this is skilfully orchestrated, platforms, terracing and a harmonious pathway, integrated into gentle planting, can create a wonderful overall result,» Christian Egli.
The garden during & after the remodelling
Embedding the slope in the garden design
At the start of the garden planning, various parameters were given, such as the house entrance, the intermediate levels and the exit in the lower area. The different areas were then formed and linked together. The choice of planting not only created a unique grass garden. The individual solitary shrubs serve as privacy screens from the uppermost areas. At the same time, they provide eye-catchers and help to create space.
The planting surrounds the path to the lowest level. The pool is located here with an inviting sunbathing area and spacious terrace. This level forms the centre of the garden. The airy grasses are planted around the swimming pool taken up again and frame the pool with an elegant lightness. The smooth transition to the surrounding area allows an unobstructed view of the lake.
Wooden step system
A set of wooden steps surrounds the entire garden. While landings on different levels lead to the various entrances to the house, the area around the steps has been adapted to the design of the rest of the garden. Grasses and elegant hydrangeas emphasise the gentle overall look. The wood used for the entire staircase, the sunbathing area and the pool terrace lends the garden a harmonious cosiness and a maritime flair.

Planting in the garden
Soft grasses and pretty hydrangeas around the swimming pool and along the wooden steps create a natural lightness and a flowing transition to the surroundings. Multi-stemmed yew trees with branches stand rather rigidly in the surroundings. They provide a great contrast to the otherwise airy look of the grass planting.
