Your project in the canton of Aargau

Lying between Zurich and Basel, Aargau is crossed by the Aare, the Reuss and the Limmat, with the Rhine forming its northern edge. Its small historic towns include Aarau, known for its painted eaves, Baden with its old town above the Limmat, as well as Lenzburg and Zofingen. Around these centres, many residential districts of detached houses, rental blocks and newer estates have grown up, particularly in the Freiamt and along the main transport routes. The canton is German-speaking, but you are welcome to write your request in English. In the old town centres, work on façades or roofs may be subject to rules, so check with your municipality before setting a schedule. Give the municipality, postcode and building access, especially for work in the old centres of Aarau or Baden.

  • For a village house along the Aare or the Reuss, mention whether the cellar has ever had damp problems.
  • In an old town such as Baden or Aarau, explain how easily a works vehicle can reach the building.
  • If you live in a recent condominium building, state whether the other co-owners have already given their agreement.

Garden design in the canton of Aargau

In Aargau, many families live in detached houses on the Plateau, between the Aare, the Reuss and the orchards. A design project therefore begins with a survey of the existing plot: fruit trees worth keeping, the slope down towards the river, views to open up or screen off. Around Aarau, housing-estate plots benefit from being divided into distinct areas, with a dining corner, a lawn for play and a vegetable patch placed in the sun. Near Baden, terraced gardens on the hillsides call for a well-thought-out plan of levels and steps. The designer provides you with drawings and a list of plants suited to the actual soil, exposure and planned use of the garden. For a fence or a retaining wall, check first with your Aargau municipality.

  • Keep one or two old fruit trees as anchor points for the plan: they immediately give character to a garden on a housing estate.
  • On clay soil, ask for the design to include drainage for the paths and walkways before the flower beds are drawn.

Frequently asked questions

How can seasonal use guide a garden design in Aargau?

Describe when you use the garden and which areas receive sun, shade or standing water at different times of year. Note views to retain and spaces needed for play, seating or food growing. These observations help define the design brief before a planting plan and maintenance programme are proposed.

What should a garden design assignment include?

Decide whether you need an initial concept, a detailed planting plan, construction details or supervision of landscaping. These are separate stages. Explain how you want to use the garden and ask what drawings and revisions will be delivered before physical work begins.

What should I compare in garden design quotes?

Compare the design stages, drawings, plant selection and any site follow-up. Establish whether surveying, permissions or construction are separate. Check how changes to the brief are handled and whether the final documents are sufficient for comparable landscaping quotes.

How should I prepare for the garden design visit or work?

Collect a site plan if available and photographs showing the garden through different seasons. Mark features to keep, such as mature trees or seating areas. Describe the maintenance effort you can manage rather than asking for a style without considering its upkeep.
