Your project in the canton of Graubünden
Switzerland's largest canton, Graubünden brings together alpine valleys, renowned resorts and three languages: German, Romansh and Italian. Chur, the capital, has a lively old town and expanding residential districts. Davos, St. Moritz, Arosa and Klosters are home to chalets, second homes and hotels, often at high altitude. In the Lower Engadine, Scuol is surrounded by Engadine houses with thick walls decorated with sgraffito, while Poschiavo, in the south, is Italian-speaking. In the mountains, snow, pass roads and a short building season mean that outdoor work must be planned carefully. Whatever the valley, you can write your request in English. For a traditional house or visible work in a village, it is advisable to contact the municipality first. Give the municipality and postcode, when the property is accessible and any mountain road or transport restrictions.
- For a chalet at altitude, explain winter access and when the work could take place.
- For a second home, state when you will be there and who can let tradespeople in.
- For an Engadine house with thick walls, attach photos of the façades and openings.
Garden design in the canton of Graubünden
In Graubünden, the garden has to contend with altitude, long winters and intense summer sunshine. Around Chur, family homes enjoy a milder climate that allows orchards, roses and planted terraces. In resorts such as St. Moritz, the gardens of chalets and holiday homes are designed to look good with little upkeep: rock gardens, mountain pines, alpine meadows and paving in local stone. The plan must anticipate snow, clearing areas and vehicle access. For owners who are away for much of the year, the designer can include programmed watering and self-sufficient plants. In villages with protected buildings, speak to the municipality before changing walls or fences.
- For a chalet used only in season, ask for a wildflower meadow rather than a lawn, as it copes with weeks without mowing.
- Have regional stone used for low walls and paving: it blends into the landscape and stands up to frost.

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