Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.
- In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
- For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
- Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.
Landscaping work in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel-Stadt, space is at a premium: inner courtyards, terrace gardens, flat roofs and small green spaces around apartment buildings make up most landscaping projects. In the old town and the districts of townhouses, a landscape gardener can turn a paved courtyard into a shady garden with ferns, hostas and shrubs in planters. In Riehen, larger plots allow villa gardens with lawns, hedges and ornamental trees. Summer heat, intensified in the city, makes green roofs and shade trees particularly welcome. For common areas, the agreement of the property management company or the co-owners is generally required. For a garden structure or the removal of a tree, contact the municipality concerned first.
- For a roof garden, have the permissible load on the slab confirmed before choosing the depth of substrate and the size of planters.
- In a courtyard with little sun, focus on shade plants and light-coloured surfaces that reflect light onto the façades.

Frequently asked questions
What should I tell the landscaper about my garden in Basel-Stadt?
Describe the area, the type of soil and the exposure to sun and wind. Explain what you want, such as lawns, beds, paths, a terrace or a hedge, and how much maintenance you can manage. Photos and a rough sketch help the landscaper prepare a proposal.
How should ground conditions be included in a landscaping brief?
Describe slopes, wet areas, exposed positions and existing plants to retain. Photographs and available site plans help locate these constraints. Ask for assessment of soil, drainage and access before agreeing planting or hard landscaping that relies on the ground's condition.
What should I compare in landscaper quotes?
Compare soil preparation, drainage, planting and hard surfaces against the same plan. Specify plant sizes, retained features and removal of existing material. Ask which maintenance instructions or follow-up are included, especially where new plants or lawns require care after handover.
How should I prepare for the landscaper visit or work?
Mark the features you want to keep on a plan and explain access for materials or machinery. Gather information about known underground services without digging to locate them. Agree protection of existing trees, neighbouring property and occupied outdoor routes before work begins.
