Hello everyone,
We bought a house in the Reutlingen district last year, and now it’s time to work on the garden and outdoor areas. They are currently in a completely unfinished state.
We had a landscape architect create a plan for us. Now we would like to know roughly how much this might cost (excluding the pool!). I understand it’s difficult to provide an exact figure, but a ballpark estimate like $50,000, $75,000, or $150,000 would be enough as a starting point.
Thank you very much!

Only if you have provided her with the necessary information, or if she obtained the details from the building authority. Although in densely built-up areas it is not uncommon for the floor area ratio including ancillary structures to be up to 0.8, it should be verified before a neighbor reports it to the building authority.Thanks for the advice. We had actually submitted all the documents, but I will follow up on that again.

Where could costs be saved? Removing the pool – instantly 70,000 less.
But seriously, looking at the overall picture. Which walls are necessary? Standard steps or a floating design? A tree at a height of 3.5m (11.5 ft) in a corten steel planter or a tree at 1.8m (6 ft) within a lawn edging stone border, paving at €50 net or €25 net.
It sounds trivial, but it all adds up.
P.S.: I like the plan; overall, I think it’s very nicely designed.

Removing the pool—boom, 70k less.
But seriously, looking at the overall picture. Which walls are necessary? “Standard steps” or a floating design? A tree 3.5m (11.5 ft) tall in a corten steel planter or a 1.8m (5.9 ft) tall tree in a lawn edging stone border, paving at €50 net or €25 net.
Sounds silly, but it’s about the overall total.
P.S.: I like the plan, I think it’s very nicely designed overall. Yes, the pool is definitely something. But I specifically asked without a pool. I’m aware of the extra cost for that. So was your estimate with or without it?
Thanks, we like the plan too; now it’s about optimizing and assessing the costs.

If I won the lottery, I would probably hire a professional garden designer right away. And I’d arrange a maintenance contract so I would only have to prune the roses occasionally. 🙂Svefi877 schrieb:

Have you considered lighting/electrical work? Usually, you don’t install something like this without outdoor lighting, etc. That also costs a few euros.

Have you considered lighting/electrical work? Usually, such installations are not done without outdoor lighting, etc. That also costs a few euros. I suspected as much… So just grass for now (only as an estimate), alternatively we had considered planning a wooden sun deck.
Yes, indirect lighting within the planting is planned.
