Garden care & service - Professional care for your garden all year round

Garden maintenance is easier said than done. Do you dream of a beautifully manicured lawn, flowering shrubs, perfectly trimmed hedges, crystal-clear water and gleaming stones, but lack the green thumb?

A garden should be a living space, a place to relax, a piece of nature right on your doorstep and a valuable part of any property or real estate. But a beautiful garden doesn't just happen by itself. It needs regular care, professional treatment and experience in how to keep plants, lawns and shrubs healthy and outdoor areas in top condition.

At egli jona, we offer a professional garden maintenance and service that includes all the gardening work and services necessary to maintain green spaces, outdoor areas, patios and flower beds throughout the seasons. It includes lawn care, pruning, irrigation, leaf removal, replanting and much more.

Why professional garden maintenance is so important in horticulture

Many garden owners underestimate the effort and commitment that goes into maintaining a well-tended garden. Plants grow, shrubs develop, bushes need pruning and the lawn needs to be mowed, fertilised and aerated regularly. Without professional care, the garden quickly loses structure, health and beauty.

A professional garden maintenance service such as the one we offer ensures that all areas of the garden are optimally cared for, adapted to the location, soil, plant species and individual requirements. This keeps the garden not only visually attractive, but also healthy in the long term.

Garden maintenance throughout the year - each season has its own tasks

A garden is a living organism that is constantly changing throughout the year. Each season brings new requirements, challenges and opportunities. Professional garden maintenance means understanding these natural rhythms and planning the maintenance work in such a way that plants, lawns and shrubs are optimally supported.

A garden that is cared for in harmony with the seasons remains healthy, resilient and has a well-kept appearance all year round. This is not just about individual measures, but about a combination of pruning, care, fertilisation, cleaning and observation that ensures the long-term condition of the garden.

Spring - start of the new season

Spring is the most important phase of the gardening year, as this is when it is decided how vital plants and lawns will be at the start of the season. As soon as the temperatures rise and nature awakens, an intensive growth process begins. Shrubs, perennials and woody plants sprout new shoots, the lawn regenerates and the flower beds come back to life. To ensure that this growth is healthy and vigorous, the garden needs comprehensive basic care.

In spring, the focus is on the following work, depending on the plant species:

  • Pruning shrubs and bushes
  • Pruning to promote healthy crowns
  • Scarifying and fertilising the lawn
  • Preparing the beds
  • First planting and planting of early bloomers
  • Irrigation control

These measures create the basis for strong growth and prevent diseases or pests from spreading. A well-tended spring ensures that the garden can unfold its full splendour in summer.

Summer - care, watering and control

The garden shows its full beauty in summer. However, this is also the most demanding time of the year. Heat, drought and intensive growth require regular attention. Plants need sufficient water, the lawn needs to be mowed more often and flower beds need to be tended. Summer is also the time when the garden is used the most, as a place to relax, socialise and unwind.

In summer, it's all about supporting the plants:

  • Regular mowing
  • Irrigation as required
  • Weed control
  • Maintenance of terraces and paths
  • Pest and disease control

Continuous care ensures that the garden remains healthy despite heat and dry periods. Observation is particularly important: changes in growth, discoloured leaves or pest infestations must be recognised early so that action can be taken in good time.

Autumn - preparing for winter

Autumn is the transitional period in which the garden is prepared for the cold season. Now is the time to strengthen plants, tidy up and protect sensitive areas. Many plants retreat, the lawn prepares for winter dormancy and leaves accumulate in large quantities. Careful autumn maintenance ensures that the garden will sprout vigorously again in spring.

Autumn is the time for preparation:

  • Leaf removal
  • Pruning of perennials
  • Maintenance of outdoor facilities
  • Fertilising for winter dormancy
  • Planting bulbs for next year

This work prevents rotting, promotes soil health and protects plants from frost damage. At the same time, autumn is ideal for new plantings of some varieties, as the soil is still warm and roots can grow well.

Winter - Winter pruning & dormancy

Even if the garden appears to be dormant in winter, there are important tasks that must not be neglected. Winter is the time for control, protection and planning. Frost, snow and moisture can put a strain on plants and structures. At the same time, the dormant phase offers the opportunity to maintain tools, carry out repairs and plan new projects.

There are also tasks in winter:

  • Winter pruning, depending on the plant species
  • Protection of sensitive plants
  • Control of woody plants
  • Planning for the coming year

Lawn care - the foundation of every green space

A dense, green lawn is the heart of many gardens. But it needs a lot of attention:

  • Regular mowing
  • Scarifying for aeration
  • Fertilisation for vigorous growth
  • Irrigation during dry periods
  • Treatment of moss and weeds

One Professional lawn care ensures that the lawn remains resistant and has an even, well-groomed appearance.

Tree care, shrubs & woody plants - professional pruning for healthy growth

Trees, shrubs and woody plants characterise the appearance of a garden. They need regular pruning to stay healthy and retain their shape.

Tree care

Professional tree care includes:

  • Crown care
  • Deadwood removal
  • Stabilisation
  • Young tree training

Shrubs & hedges

Hedges and shrubs require regular pruning to keep them dense and attractive. A professional knows which plants can be pruned and when, also due to legal requirements for the protection of wildlife.

New planting & design - a breath of fresh air for the garden

A garden is constantly evolving. New plantings bring new colours, structures and habitats to the garden. Location, soil, light conditions and maintenance requirements all play an important role.

Professional garden designers select plants that suit the space, the surroundings and the style of the garden. The right planting makes all the difference. Should the plants be easy to care for or robust, colourful or discreet?

Cleaning & maintenance - everything from a single source

Garden maintenance includes not only planting work, but also the care of the entire outdoor area:

  • Cleaning paths and terraces
  • Maintenance of wood and stone surfaces
  • Irrigation control and maintenance
  • Small repairs
  • Maintenance of green areas around the property

Weed control & soil care - the basis for healthy plants

A healthy garden begins in the soil and professional soil care includes:

  • Weed control
  • Soil loosening
  • Targeted fertilisation
  • Treatment of problem areas
  • Care of the beds

This creates a nutrient-rich, loose garden soil in which plants can grow optimally.

Irrigation - efficient solutions for every system

A good Irrigation is crucial for plant growth. Modern systems are efficient, water-saving and reliable.

A professional will analyse the needs of the plants, the size of the green areas and the location of the garden in order to install a system that works optimally. There are many options on the market today, from drip irrigation to automatic sprinklers.
