Your project in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel rises in tiers from the lake to the high plateaus of the Jura. On the lakeshore, the city of Neuchâtel is marked by the yellow stone of its old buildings and its sloping streets, while Boudry and Cortaillod are surrounded by vineyards and residential districts. In the mountains, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, watchmaking towns laid out on a grid plan, are lined with large old apartment buildings at an altitude where winter is long. The Val-de-Travers, around Fleurier, and the Val-de-Ruz offer a more rural setting of farmhouses and village houses. Building conditions vary greatly between lakeside and heights. For a façade in an old town or an extension, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. State the municipality, postcode and site access, especially if outdoor work is planned during winter.
- For an old building in La Chaux-de-Fonds or Le Locle, give the floor and describe access via the stairwell.
- On the lakeshore, for a house on a slope, describe the steps or paths leading to the entrance.
- In the mountains, plan outdoor work outside the snow season and say so in your request.
Garden design in the canton of Neuchâtel
From the lake to the high plateaux, garden design changes radically from one part of the canton to another. On the Littoral, in Cortaillod for example, villas close to the vineyards enjoy a mild climate that allows Mediterranean plants, lavender and sunny terraces. Sloping plots often require low walls in yellow stone and steps integrated into the plan. In La Chaux-de-Fonds, the garden of a house or older apartment building has to withstand harsh winters: robust shrubs, beds of mountain perennials and shelter from the bise. The designer adapts the choice of plants to the altitude and exposure of each plot. Before building any retaining wall or garden shed, speak to the municipality.
- For a herb area on the Neuchâtel Littoral, record the plot's actual sunlight, shade, drainage and available water. Choose plants and the position of the beds after those conditions and the intended use have been assessed.
- In the Neuchâtel mountains, have perennials chosen that flower late in spring, to avoid frost damage.

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