Hello,
this concerns the outdoor area, and I need your input. The building permit and drainage approval are now in place. The construction contractor will start work soon (within a maximum of 2 months). It will be a turnkey project, and we will need to take care of the outdoor area soon as well.
At first, I see the following points that must definitely be done when the house is completed:
P1. Infiltration for rainwater on the property.
P2. Drainage (when is it necessary?)
P3. Splash protection
P4. Connection for wastewater
P5. Connections for water, electricity, gas, and telecommunications
P6. Paving (driveway, carport to the entrance, terrace, etc.)
After that:
P7. Garden planning (should this possibly be done partially first?)
P8. Carport with storage room
P9. Space for bicycles, etc.
P10. Garden shed, greenhouse
…
Some things can of course be done gradually on our own. For now, I am mainly concerned with the necessary items, basically the first 6 points (right?).
1. When is the best time to hire a landscape gardener?
2. What should we pay attention to when choosing a landscape gardener?
3. In what stages is the outdoor area usually constructed?
4. What tasks need to be done in total (am I correct?), and what should be included in the contract when hiring?
5. Priorities?
6. How can different landscape gardeners be compared (price/quality)?
Thank you very much for your help and support.

The contractor replied:
“It is still too early for that at the moment. Our Mr. xxx will advise you during the first construction meeting, as the site needs to be inspected by him and the contractor first. In some cases, this can be coordinated along with the groundwork through the contractor.
We can then offer the other work during the construction phase.”
So far, so good, right? Should I pay attention to anything in particular?
