Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Garden design in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud offers a great variety of gardens, from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps by way of the Plateau. On La Côte, in Morges in particular, properties close to the lake call for a plan that highlights the view, creates shaded areas and sometimes integrates a swimming pool. In Lausanne, houses built on the slopes have terraced gardens with steps, low walls and tiered planting. In the villages of the Gros-de-Vaud, converted farmhouses invite generous country gardens, combining orchard, vegetable garden and meadow. The designer studies your way of life before proposing a sketch and then a detailed plan. For felling a tree or putting up a fence, check first with your municipality.
- Ask the designer for a garden lighting plan: a few well-placed lights extend its use into the evening.
- For a converted farmhouse, keep existing features such as a fountain or an old wall, which root the garden in its history.

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