What budget should I plan for landscaping?

The budget varies considerably depending on the project scope. A simple layout (lawn, some planting) costs between CHF 50 and 100 per m2. A complete design with terrace, lighting and planting runs between CHF 150 and 300 per m2. A premium garden can exceed CHF 400 per m2.

What is the best season for garden landscaping?

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal for planting. Earthworks and landscape masonry can be done year-round, except during frost. Design and planning are best done in winter so you're ready for spring.

Is regular maintenance included in quotes?

Maintenance is typically offered as a separate annual contract. Some landscapers include 3 to 6 months of follow-up after completion to ensure plantings take root. Specify your maintenance needs in your quote request.

What is the best time of year to landscape a garden in Western Switzerland?

Spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November). Autumn is preferable for planting, as the roots establish themselves before winter. Avoid periods of frost and intense heat for major work.

Can a landscaper handle regular maintenance?

Yes, most offer annual maintenance contracts: mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, seasonal clean-up. A regular contract is more economical than one-off visits and guarantees a well-kept garden all year round.

What influences the price of landscaping

The size of the plot is the first factor. Project complexity also plays a role: complete creation vs redesign. The choice of materials (natural stone vs concrete, natural vs synthetic lawn) and the plantings (mature trees cost more) influence the budget.

In Western Switzerland, the terrain (Lavaux, Chablais) can increase costs. Automatic irrigation and outdoor lighting are additional options. Request your free quotes via Edirex.

Regulations and permits for outdoor landscaping

The Swiss Civil Code (art. 687-688) sets planting distances from property boundaries. Some structures require a permit: retaining walls over 1.2 m, swimming pools, garden sheds.

Lausanne and Geneva have tree protection regulations in urban areas. Rainwater management is a growing obligation. Your landscaper can guide you through the process.

How to choose your landscaper in Western Switzerland

A good landscaper holds a CFC in landscaping or the title of master landscaper. Membership of JardinSuisse is a mark of professionalism. Ask for 3D plans and a plant establishment guarantee.
