Garden planning in Leipzig and Dessau

It is the graphic representation of a garden in the floor plan and, if necessary, in the form of sectional and detailed drawings – before the structural implementation.

Example of a garden plan in Leipzig (draft)

In most cases, one of the following three groups of people will take over the planning of a garden or property:

A garden and landscape architect takes over the planning and personally accompanies the redesign of the property and garden.

Landscape architects are graduate engineers with a university degree who complete a five-year course
in the field of open space planning and have at least two years of practical work experience.

The creation or redesign of a garden is always associated with certain costs.

For some builders, the price for a new garden is a few thousand euros.

Others invest six-figure amounts. Most gardens are usually built at a cost of 10,000 to 40,000 euros.

If the following hotspots are taken into account through a well-founded garden design, construction and follow-up costs can be reduced considerably.

In a nutshell:

Using durable materials can save a lot of money over time.

Example: Concrete paving stones for garden design with natural stone attachment are more color-stable and more abrasion-resistant than solid-colored stones.

The installation of qualitatively equivalent, cheaper material alternatives.

Example: In the product range of paving stones and terrace slabs, as with the products of well-known sportswear manufacturers, brand names have developed that often lead to a higher price compared to products of the same quality.

Good garden planning is characterized by an economical construction of detailed areas, which in some cases lead to considerable savings in construction costs.

Example: Terraces are often created on reinforced concrete slabs that were poured in the course of the building shell construction work, and are expensive.

Such a substructure is completely over-constructed for a terrace area that is usually subject to foot traffic at the expense of your building budget.

By choosing the right plants for the location, long-lasting and species-appropriate growth can be achieved and help ensure that no failures are added cost-intensively or expensive soil improvement measures are necessary.

Thanks to his extensive knowledge of plants, the landscape architect can assess which plants of lower quality can be used inexpensively without disturbing the ensemble of plants.

A landscape architect knows the necessary functional dimensions of partial garden areas, e.g. B. the required size of a terrace, the width of paths, the dimensions of parking spaces, etc.

With his planning, he ensures that the areas are not unnecessarily oversized and cost-increasing.

A garden that is well thought out and then functions for the next few decades without major changes is the cheapest.

Smaller developments such as replanting or structural additions are common and make the garden exciting.

Damage such as settling pavement surfaces, sloping walls, moisture on the building, incoming plants and other unpleasant surprises can be avoided by a well-founded garden planning.

The greatest savings factor in garden planning is a professional tender.

On the basis of the planning and the drawings created with it, the dimensions of the individual partial services, e.g. B. paved areas in m², planted areas in m², excavated soil in m³ etc. in a description of services in terms of quantity and verbal description.

The service description is then sent to various landscaping companies in the course of the bidding process. The clear and precise description of the required services enables the offer prices to be compared.

By comparing the prices of the offers of the various landscaping companies, it becomes clear which, in some cases, considerable price ranges lie between the cheapest and most expensive providers. The savings potential of the tender alone brings much more to most horticultural projects than just the amortization of the fee of a landscape architect.
