From the initial consultation to the finished garden
Daniel Egli will guide you through the individual steps to your finished outdoor living room.
Getting to know each other for the first time
You have already called or written to us, perhaps with a rough idea, perhaps with a long-cherished dream. Now is the time to meet in person. In this first Conversation we take time for you and your ideas.
What do you want for your garden or patio? Which elements appeal to you? Which Needs would you like to fulfil in your own garden in the future, rest or play space - retreat or meeting place? There's room for all of that here.
Together, we will take a first look at the possible course of the Garden remodelling. We will introduce you to different ways, show you inspiring ideas and help you to make the possibilities more tangible.
This conversation is non-binding and above all free of charge. It's not just about facts, but also about trust. Because only when the gut feeling is right for both sides is the right time to take the next step.
A clear overview
After an initial meeting and an intensive discussion of your wishes and needs, we will draw up an initial Cost estimate for your project. This will give you a feel for the scale of your garden planning, a solid basis for all further steps.
When it comes to minor changes or clearly defined work, a binding decision can be made at this point. Offer are created. However, as soon as your project becomes more comprehensive, for example when redesigning larger areas or if a swimming pool is to become part of the dream, a precise Planning necessary.
Because only with a well thought-out concept can you realistically estimate the effort, materials and realisation. You stay in control - Transparent, comprehensible and always at eye level.
Basic principles and preliminary project
If you are happy with the cooperation so far, we can start planning. The first step is to draw up a Concept for your outdoor area. Along with the concept plan, you will also receive reference images of comparable elements in gardens that have already been realised. We will show you different Possibilities, how your garden could be designed. 3D visualisations can also be created as an option.
Concept and planning
It may sound simple at first - one plan and your new garden is created. But in order to turn your wishes into a successful, well thought-out Garden design to translate, it takes more than just a sketch.
So that your Dream garden is really the way you want it to be, we work with different plans that build on each other. From initial preliminary project plans to Building application plans, The planning of the garden, floor plans and sections, through to the exact boundary distances and the customised planting plan. Every single step helps to ensure that everything fits together in the end.
These Detailed planning forms the foundation for a smooth realisation. It ensures that no misunderstandings arise and that all elements, from the choice of plants to the position of paths or terraces, are in line with your ideas. Your garden deserves Precision. And you deserve the security of knowing that everything is in the right place.
The path to planning permission
If you decide to use walls, swimming pools or other fixed elements in your project, in many cases you will need an official Building licence. What looks like paperwork at first glance is a crucial step towards realisation.
We take care of the clarification for you. What plans does your municipality require? What regulations need to be observed? Together with our team, we will prepare the entire Planning application together, accurately and completely, so that there are no unnecessary delays.
Once the planning application has been submitted, a phase begins in which patience is required, as processing times vary depending on the municipality. You will not be left in the dark; we will keep you informed throughout the entire process.
As soon as the authorisation has been granted, if necessary after an adjustment of the conditions, the Building approval. Now you can get started. Work preparation begins and your project continues to take shape. With clear plans and the necessary experience, we set the next milestone for your new garden.
The ground-breaking ceremony
Your visualisations are now becoming reality. Before the first work begins, a precise schedule is drawn up in the background. Materials are ordered, responsibilities are clarified and our team prepares for the start.
You get to know the people who realise your project. During the entire Realisation phase our site managers provide structure, coordination and regular feedback. With visits to the construction site and personal updates you always stay in the picture. We always clarify your questions directly by phone or during an on-site appointment.
The basis for a harmonious result lies in the careful preparation. Revision plans, sections, detailed plans, boundary distances and the realisation of planting plans are not just technical necessities, they create space for creativity, individuality and your own personal garden feeling.
Whether perennials, shapes or materials, everything follows what counts for you. The collaboration is characterised by trust, respect and clarity. This is the only way to achieve the goal of designing a garden that feels just right.
The 5 steps in pool construction
If you have decided in favour of a swimming pool, then you can look forward to having your own swimming area. The following exciting milestones await you during the remodelling process, which we will be happy to inform you about. Because remodelling your own garden is often a one-off project.
- Excavation work: The ground is prepared for the pool
- With a prefabricated pool, the swimming pool is moved by crane and sometimes even by helicopter.
- The technology is put into operation.
- Water march: The pool is filled.
- Work around the pool: This is followed by decking, wooden decks and planting to complete the swimming area.
The completion
When all the work has been completed, a very special moment begins. You no longer enter your finished garden as a building site, but as a living space full of possibilities. To the Acceptance and handover we consciously take our time.
If we have integrated technical elements such as a swimming pool or a fountain on your property, you will of course receive all the necessary explanations including manuals, tips on use and maintenance.
What you see is the result of well thought-out planning, many planning phases and your very personal ideas. From the first sketch to the last plant, it was not only our Experience but also your openness in the initial meeting, your ideas and your needs. You will also be supported by a Expert with valuable help on pruning times, trees, water management or the development of your planting.
Even when this part of the garden project is complete, it continues to grow. We are only satisfied when you can sit back and say: „Yes, that's exactly how I imagined it.“
The new outdoor living room
There are few things better than coming back after a few years and visiting a garden that we have created together with you. To see how the plants are developing, how structures are changing and how people are filling this place with life - that is real success.
The Garden design and the realisation does not end with the last planting hole or the finished design plan. A garden grows, develops and becomes a real Outdoor living room.
