Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Garden design in the canton of Geneva
In the canton of Geneva, garden design covers villas on the left bank as well as small gardens of semi-detached houses and penthouse terraces. In Cologny, properties overlooking the lake call for a plan that preserves the view while creating areas sheltered from the bise. In the villa districts of Versoix, plots that have often been subdivided make it essential to organise boundaries, access and privacy carefully. Hot, dry summers encourage water-sparing plants and a well-distributed automatic watering system. The large existing trees that are common in the canton are an asset to be integrated from the very first sketch. Before felling a tree or building a wall, check the steps with your Geneva municipality.
- Have the large existing trees surveyed at the start of the project: keeping them gives the garden structure and avoids the formalities involved in felling.
- On a penthouse terrace exposed to the bise, ask for heavy planters and supple plants that will not snap in the wind.

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