What clients often ask us
How much does garden maintenance cost with you?
That depends on the size of the areas, the frequency, accessibility and the amount of green waste. Flat-rate prices without a site visit would not be serious. After a free site visit you receive a written quote.
How is a quote drawn up?
We visit the site, discuss your wishes and record measurements and special features. From this we prepare a written quote with precisely described services. Work only starts once you have agreed.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes. The initial consultation and the site visit are free and non-binding.
Can I deduct garden work from my taxes?
In Germany, private individuals can partially deduct labour costs for household-related services and tradesmen’s services from their tax under section 35a of the Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz). For this purpose we show labour and material costs separately on the invoice. Please pay by bank transfer. Your tax adviser can tell you whether and to what extent this applies to you.
What does a typical garden year look like?
In spring it is time for tidying up, lawn care and planting; in summer mowing, hedge trimming and watering; in autumn leaves, cutting back and planting; in winter pruning trees and shrubs and winter service. Our garden year checklist gives an overview.
What does a maintenance contract cover?
The contract sets out which areas we maintain, which jobs are done and how often, how billing works and how long the contract runs. You book additional work separately.
Well prepared for your first meeting
You can tick off our checklists online or print them out. They help you remember everything and save time in the initial consultation.
