ᐅ Any experiences with exterior landscaping in Poland?

Does anyone have experience or can even recommend a Polish company? The reputation for price and quality is reportedly very good, at least from what I’ve heard. Since we are already investing a lot of money into the house, at least the exterior works should be somewhat more affordable (yes, Poland has also become more expensive – but still much cheaper than Germany, as far as I know). Thanks to the building plot near Dresden, it’s not too far either.

Here’s what needs to be done:

~30m² (about 320 ft²) terrace (including approx. 3.5 x 4.5m (11.5 x 15 ft) roofed area)
~50m² (about 540 ft²) wooden carport (approx. 9 x 5.5m (30 x 18 ft), just under the threshold for building permit / planning permission)
~75m² (about 810 ft²) driveway/path paved
~40–100m (130–330 ft) fence with garden gate (1.6–1.8m (5.2–6 ft) chain link fence is sufficient)

Does anyone here have relevant experience? Even if it doesn’t fit exactly, feel free to share your projects and prices with your neighbors here so I can get a sense of the costs. Many thanks!

If it gets too expensive, part of the work could of course be done as DIY. But even then, the price for materials “over there” should be much lower, right?

Sure, after 3-4 years of legal proceedings they may become reachable and, in the best case, even liable, provided that there are sufficient assets. There are certainly still honorable craftsmen who stand by their work, but unfortunately many who just want to make money and use every possible means once they have made mistakes and are held accountable..... In doing so, however, they follow the new dominant culture.

That thoroughly matches my experience as well....sad.

My experiences:
German craftsmen are outrageously expensive and deliver the same shoddy workmanship as non-German craftsmen.
Conclusion:
Don’t focus on nationality.
There are only good and bad craftsmen.

I would add very good and very bad ones. 😉

In my opinion, there are also average ones. However, this may be due to varying expectations.

Can someone tell me how much one meter of double wire mesh fencing with installation by a Polish company costs? Or, for how many meters, what total price was charged? Thanks

Hello everyone,
Even though there aren’t many recent posts, I’ll give it a try.
We are building a house this year and still need all trades for the exterior landscaping. We would like to have a WPC fence as well as a terrace. Additionally, we need a double carport, a terrace roof, and paving work for the entrance area. If anyone has a reliable all-round contact or knows individual companies, I would appreciate a private message.
Thank you!
