Natural and sustainable gardening
Sustainable building materials and careful use of existing resources are central to natural gardens. As gardeners, we are responsible for creating habitats that will later provide a home for insects, amphibians, and birds. The use of native plants plays a key role in this.
Natural gardens, in which flora and fauna form a symbiosis, enable a wide variety of wildlife to be observed.
Natural gardening means rethinking:
- Lawn becomes a flowering meadow
- Old slabs become a recycled dry stone wall
- A swimming pool becomes a swimming pond
- Green waste becomes a pile of branches
- Wild plants instead of neophytes
- Reuse instead of disposal
With an ecological redesign, we not only create a new look for the garden owner, but also valuable habitat for numerous small animals – thus actively contributing to biodiversity.

Mediterranean garden feeling
The yellowish travertine slabs and fresh plants give the garden a whole new atmosphere. A seating area that invites you to linger.
Small courtyard garden
A somewhat neglected garden courtyard was transformed into a new gem during the renovation of the underground parking garage below. The vegetation and the design of the flower beds now form a striking contrast to the orthogonal basic structure of the garden wall.
The travertine paving extends the adjacent living room outdoors. Evergreen basic structures are particularly important in winter.

We can also green your 10th-floor balcony – before vs. after:
