Garden remodelling

Transform your garden into an oasis of well-being

A garden remodelling project is the ideal way to breathe new life into an existing garden. Over time, needs change, the planting loses its structure or the layout no longer meets current expectations. A targeted garden remodelling creates a new atmosphere that brings the garden back into harmony with the wishes of the residents.

A remodelling is more than just a technical adjustment, it is a creative redesign that turns the garden into an oasis of well-being. With the right planning and professional realisation, a dream garden is created that offers comfort, peace and relaxation, regardless of whether it involves new terraces, a fountain, a garden pond, a pool or the integration of other design elements.

Garden planning and preparation

Garden remodelling begins with a thorough Garden planning. The current requirements are analysed: Which areas should be retained, which areas need a complete redesign? Should the focus be on perennials, flowers and new beds, or should functional elements such as paths, walls and fences take centre stage?

Important steps in the planning process

  • Overview of the current state of the system, challenges and opportunities for change
  • Definition of the new utilisation options for the existing space
  • Selection of suitable materials such as wood, concrete or natural stone
  • Consideration of sustainability and maintenance requirements
  • Clarification of questions regarding budget, time frame and personal contribution

Good planning creates the basis for realising the garden conversion with solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Design and realisation

The actual garden design as part of a remodelling project opens up numerous possibilities. New beds with colourful flowers, a structured perennial planting or a newly laid lawn noticeably change the atmosphere. Complemented by water elements such as a fountain, a pond or even a pool, a scene is created that combines beauty and vibrancy.

Structural elements also play a major role: terraces extend the living space to the outside, walls create structure and privacy, and paths connect the individual areas of the garden. With the right combination of materials and elements, a garden remodelling project creates an oasis that invites you to relax and enjoy life.

Design elements for garden remodelling

  • Newly planted beds with perennials and flowers
  • Fountain, pool or garden pond as central water elements
  • Terraces for comfort and socialising
  • Walls and fences for structure and protection
  • Paths made of natural stone or concrete for orientation

From the idea to the realisation

A successful garden remodelling project starts with a clear concept and realistic scheduling. During the peak season, resources are often scarce, so it is crucial to find dates early on and liaise closely with the partner company. We take care of all this coordination and draw up a reliable schedule that brings together the garden remodelling, material deliveries, earthworks, components (e.g. walls, technology) and planting in a sensible sequence.

  • Analysis: Condition of soil, lawn, beds, drainage and existing elements.
  • Concept and theme: Zones for rest, recreation, play, pathways, visual axes and water elements.
  • Time slot: Seasonal realisation and thus efficient execution of the work
  • Budget framework: Transparent overview of material and labour costs.

Choice of materials with effect: natural stone, concrete, wood

The choice of materials characterises the atmosphere and durability. Natural stone lends depth and durability to the design, concrete creates clear lines and calm surfaces, wood provides warm comfort. A combination of textures creates exciting transitions between spatial zones and path systems while remaining in harmony with the overall design of the garden.

  • Natural stone: Timeless, durable, ideal for walls and high-quality paths
  • Concrete: Precise design, easy to maintain for terraces and edges
  • Wood: cosy for seating decks, but requires thoughtful care
  • Coating mix: Function by area

Water elements in garden remodelling

Fountains, garden ponds or pools, but also still water bowls noticeably change the scene. They bring tranquillity, reflection and natural beauty. Compact water elements are ideal in small gardens, while in larger projects a shallow pond with shore plants or perhaps even a swimming pond or a pool is convincing.

Noticeably improve utilisation

Remodelling is intended to make everyday life easier and better. This often involves small details that measurably increase comfort, such as glare-free lighting, paths with few steps, wind-protected niches and dry steps - depending on the circumstances and wishes of the client. Water connections for garden maintenance and storage areas are also integrated so that the garden functions as an oasis and doesn't just look good.

Aspects that can improve utilisation

  • SeatsWind direction, sun path, shadows cast.
  • LightingWarm white, accent on fountains, walls and planting.
  • Low barrier: Gentle inclines instead of hard steps and non-slip surfaces on request.
  • Service pointsElectricity and water in the vicinity of usage and work areas.

Sustainability and care concept

A remodelling project only gains its full value through good maintenance. We offer sustainable systems and thus reduce the amount of watering required with drip irrigation, for example, select plants that are suited to the location and plan garden maintenance intervals on request so that flowers, perennials and lawns remain vital in the long term. Aspects such as rainwater utilisation, plant selection, soil structure, soil health and ease of repair must also be taken into account in the context of sustainability.

Tips for sustainable care

Remodelling usually involves at least some new planting and long-term garden maintenance should be taken into account. Lawns need to be mowed regularly and shrubs need pruning. At the same time, the aforementioned sustainability plays an increasingly important role.

These include:

  • Use of regional plant species
  • Installation of efficient irrigation systems
  • Low-maintenance perennials and robust lawns
  • Regular inspection of walls and paths
  • Organising maintenance work according to the seasons
