Your project in the canton of Zurich
Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.
- In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
- For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
- For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.
Landscaping work in the canton of Zurich
For landscaping in Zurich, describe the area to change, intended use and features to retain. Provide a plan or photographs showing existing trees, levels, paths, boundaries and access for machinery. Explain whether the work concerns planting, a terrace, drainage, a roof garden or another element. Shade, soil, available water and the capacity of any roof structure should be assessed for the site before a design is proposed. For tree removal or changes with known planning constraints, include existing documents and ask which authority or owner needs to be involved.
- For a Zurich courtyard, suggest a shared garden with vegetable planters, which enhances the space and involves the tenants.
- On a flat roof, a thin substrate planted with sedum is often enough and needs very little watering.

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