Your project in the canton of Obwalden
Obwalden is a mountain canton centred on Lake Sarnen and the valley leading up to the Brünig Pass. Sarnen, the main town, has shops, apartment blocks and family homes, while Sachseln and Giswil stretch along the lake with chalets and farmhouses. Higher up, Lungern overlooks its own lake, and Kerns lies on a sunny plateau. Engelberg, separate from the rest of the canton, is a mountain resort consisting mainly of chalets, second homes and hotels, with a long, snowy winter. Although the canton is German-speaking, you can easily write your request in English. For a traditional chalet or an extension, ask the municipality about the applicable rules. Give the village or town and postcode and, for a second home, the periods when a property visit can be arranged.
- In Engelberg, say whether the property is a second home and when tradespeople can access it.
- For a chalet on a slope, say whether a lorry can get close or whether materials must be carried.
- If your house is near Lake Sarnen, mention any damp problems in the basement.
Landscaping work in the canton of Obwalden
Obwalden brings together Lake Sarnen, the valley villages and the resort of Engelberg. In Sarnen, family homes and recent buildings have gardens where owners look for privacy, fruit trees and relaxing corners facing the lake. Steep slopes frequently require retaining structures, planted banks and careful management of water during storms. In Engelberg, chalets and homes let to holidaymakers call for simple outdoor spaces that can spend the winter under snow and need little maintenance. Local species such as ash, alder and elder adapt particularly well there. For retaining walls, fences or tree felling, check with the municipality before work starts.
- After a storm, observe how water flows through your garden, as this helps the landscape gardener place gullies and drains.
- For a chalet in Engelberg, prefer fixed planters and plantings to pots that must be brought in every autumn.

Frequently asked questions
What should I tell the landscaper about my garden in Obwalden?
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.
