Garden design in the canton of Bern
The canton of Bern offers a wide range of garden settings, from the suburbs of the Plateau to the chalets of the Bernese Oberland. In Köniz, terraced houses and villas often sit on narrow plots that call for a clever layout: diagonal lines, green screens and successive zones create a sense of depth. Around Lake Thun, the view of the lake and mountains guides the orientation of terraces and the choice of low planting. In the Emmental, large farmhouses invite country gardens with a vegetable patch, fruit trees and meadow flowers. The designer provides an overall plan that you can carry out in several stages. For a shed, an above-ground pool or a wall, the municipality will explain how to proceed.
- On a narrow plot, ask for a diagonal layout: it visually lengthens the garden and breaks the corridor effect.
- Have the stages of work shown on the plan, so that you can progress over several seasons without losing the coherence of the project.

Frequently asked questions
How can seasonal use guide a garden design in Bern?
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.
