Choice of materials and design options

Choosing the right materials is crucial when building a new garden. It not only influences the appearance, but also the longevity and maintenance requirements of the entire garden. Concrete is suitable for paved areas and Terraces, as it is robust and versatile. Natural stone, on the other hand, conveys a warm, natural atmosphere and fits particularly well in gardens that are intended to blend harmoniously into their surroundings. Wood is a popular material for seating areas and patios as it creates a cosy atmosphere.

The garden soil also plays a central role. Healthy soil is the basis for strong plants and flowering perennials. For this reason, it should always be checked whether the soil needs to be improved during new construction.
