Your project in the canton of Thurgau
Thurgau runs along Lake Constance and the Rhine, with a landscape of hills, orchards and farming villages. Frauenfeld, the main town, and Weinfelden are regional centres with rental blocks, family homes and small old towns. On the lakeshore, Kreuzlingen, next to Konstanz, Arbon and Romanshorn combine urban housing, former industrial sites and residential districts. Further west, Steckborn and Diessenhofen, on the Untersee and the Rhine, have kept old houses, many of them half-timbered. Thurgau farmhouses, often surrounded by apple trees, are frequently converted into homes. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For a half-timbered house or an old farmhouse, it is worth asking the municipality whether particular rules apply. State the municipality and postcode, the condition of the building and the older elements you want retained during the work.
- For a half-timbered house, say whether the timber frame is exposed and should remain visible.
- To convert a farmhouse into a home, describe the area concerned and the condition of the barn.
- Near Lake Constance, mention any damp problems in cellars or walls.
Garden design in the canton of Thurgau
Thurgau is a land of orchards, gentle hills and farming villages on the shores of Lake Constance. In Weinfelden, family homes and former farmhouses have generous plots where the design can include an orchard, a vegetable garden, a wildflower meadow and a relaxation area. On the lakeshore, in Romanshorn for example, humidity and wind influence the choice of plants and the position of terraces. The region's fertile soils are well suited to fruit growing and beds of perennials. The designer studies what already exists, keeps what is valuable and proposes a coherent plan that can be carried out in stages. Country hedges and tall standard fruit trees are much appreciated. For any new structure in the garden, consult the municipality.
- Have a few tall standard fruit trees included: they provide shade, a harvest and a link with the orchard landscape.
- By the lake, ask for a terrace protected by a green screen on the side of the prevailing wind.

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