Your project in the canton of Lucerne
The canton of Lucerne is centred on the city of the same name, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, and extends into the Entlebuch and the Seetal. Lucerne's old town, with its covered bridges and painted façades, has many old buildings where lorry access is restricted. Kriens, Emmenbrücke and Ebikon form the suburban area, with many rental blocks and condominium flats. On the lakeshore, Meggen and Horw feature villas and houses with views. Further west, Sursee and Willisau have kept small old towns surrounded by countryside and farms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can explain your project in English in your request. For work on an old building or the exterior, check with your municipality. Give the municipality and postcode, the available delivery space and access to the building's different floors.
- In Lucerne's old town, describe vehicle access and whether there is a goods lift.
- For a lakeside villa, say whether the plot is sloping and how it can be reached.
- In a condominium in the suburbs, state whether the work affects the communal areas.
Garden design in the canton of Lucerne
The canton of Lucerne offers gardens by the lake, in the suburbs and in the farming hills. In Meggen, villas overlooking Lake Lucerne call for a design that frames the panorama without blocking it: low planting in front, trees at the back of the plot. In Kriens and the municipalities close to the city, the gardens of terraced houses are compact and benefit from a precise plan, with a pergola, raised beds and green screens. In the Entlebuch, altitude and frequent rain point towards hardy species and well-drained paths. The designer can also draw up a seasonal planting plan so that something is in flower all year round. For a wall or a pool, contact the municipality before starting work.
- For a lake view, have the trees placed along the sides of the plot to frame the landscape like a painting.
- In a rainy climate, ask for paths in stabilised gravel or slabs laid with open joints, which let water drain away.

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