Your garden.
Your most beautiful
living space.
We design, build and maintain exceptional gardens, swimming ponds and pools – from the first sketch to the finished oasis. Everything from a single source.
Lovely to have you here
We are Fuchs baut Gärten – a family business from Lenggries, founded in 1961 and now in its third generation, run by Balbina and Ludwig Fuchs together with Elisabeth Simon. In 2026 we celebrate our 65th anniversary. Over 70 people design, build and maintain gardens, swimming ponds and natural pools with us – between the Isarwinkel, Tegernsee and Munich. Design, construction, pond building, joinery, maintenance and Erdenwerk: all our own people, no subcontractors.
What sets us apart: We build and we stay. We continue to look after most of the gardens we create – some client relationships last longer than many a garden fence. As a member of Gärtner von Eden, we follow a simple guiding principle: My garden. My home.

Your garden in four steps
From the first conversation to the finished garden – so you know what to expect:
Consultation
Free initial consultation in your garden – we listen, look at the plot and tell you honestly what is possible.
Design
Design, planting plan and a transparent quote. You see your garden before the first digger arrives.
Construction
Our own teams build – natural stone, timber, water, planting. One site manager, one point of contact.
Maintenance
If you wish, we stay on: a regular team that knows your garden – for many clients for over five years.
Which type of garden are you?
Not sure yet which direction to take? Aesthete, design lover, nature lover or bon vivant – the free picture quiz sorts out your preferences in under two minutes. A good starting point before we sit down together.
What we build and maintain
We design everything outdoors: the private garden that only the family enters, the hotel grounds that belong to the guests – and the place where everyone is welcome to sit. Choose what you are looking for.

Discover public spacesA look at gardens we have created
No sketches, no intentions: built gardens, with the figures, the materials and the people behind them. From two gardens on the longlist for “Gärten des Jahres 2027” to a swimming pond and Living Pool and the company garden of the Rudolf Group – and more to come.
A green business card – company garden in Geretsried
The company garden of the Rudolf Group in Geretsried – chosen in 2025 by the TASPO jury as the best landscaping project in the company grounds category, and winner of the BGL Award.
Hot tub and mountain views
3,000 m² at Schliersee: hand-stacked limestone walls terrace the slope, and the hot tub sits within the wall. Longlist “Gärten des Jahres 2027”.
Marina Monaco – Water for a While
A swimming pond in the middle of Munich, created for a limited time: in five years it may give way to urban development, and until then it is ecologically valuable. In the Callwey book “Landschaftsarchitektur 2027”.
The hortus conclusus of water
The garden of Thomas Huber, one of the Huberbuam: a swimming pond that looks as if the valley itself had laid it there.
Grasses and Geometry
960 m² on the edge of the Alps – a Limes dolomite wall gives the slope order, while grasses soften its severity. Longlist “Gärten des Jahres” 2026 and 2027.
Iffeldorf Memorial Garden
A cemetery as a garden: a large perennial bed where urns are laid to rest, a shady woodland area – and the little angel’s grave. In the Callwey book “Landschaftsarchitektur 2026”.
Sloping garden with soul – Living Pool in Tutzing
1,100 m² above Lake Starnberg: Living Pool, natural stone walls and a slope that has become walkable. Longlist “Gärten des Jahres 2026”.
Lake Views – a formal garden with pool on Lake Tegernsee
1,200 m² in Bad Wiessee, formally structured, with a pool and views of Lake Tegernsee – nominated and featured in the book “Gärten des Jahres 2022”.
High above the green river – a villa garden
1,250 m² high above the Isar: the garden of a villa, with a water feature, terraces and planting that holds the slope together. In the book “Gärten des Jahres 2021”.
Oasis at the Living Pool – a town garden
A 430 m² town garden near Munich. As the access was only 1.20 m wide, the machinery had to be lifted over the house by crane. Longlist “Gärten des Jahres 2025”.
Zehenthof Kirchheim – a farmstead as village centre
A historic tithe farm beside the church that is still farmed – with step-free access to the practice, a courtyard and a swimming pond. Featured in the Callwey book “Landschaftsarchitektur 2026”.
Firmengarten Müller Sonnenschutz
A Living Pool right in front of the company building, bands of lavender and a fire bowl set into the wall. Longlisted for “Gärten des Jahres 2026” and a TASPO finalist for company gardens.

What juries say about our gardens
Over 30 awards since 2001 – the three most recent here, all the others just a click away.
Gärten des Jahres 2027
One of our gardens is among the 50 most beautiful private gardens in the German-speaking world and will appear in the book. Two more are on the longlist.
TASPO Awards 2026
Finalist twice: Best Landscape Gardening Project in the Private Garden and Company Garden categories – honoured at the gala at the Grand Hyatt Berlin.
Staatsehrenpreis 2026
For the third time in a row, for exemplary apprenticeship training in landscape gardening – over 110 apprentices in the company's history.
What our clients say
First the reviews that are publicly posted on Google – then two clients who tell their story on camera.
“Simply brilliant – and for years now!”
“An absolute dream come true, and we can recommend Fuchs baut Gärten without reservation!”
“The lads got stuck in. Thought ahead. Developed ideas. Simply first class.”
“We were in professional hands at every stage, from planning to handover.”
“Anyone who wants to take their garden to a new level should do it with Fuchs baut Gärten. 5 stars from us – it doesn't get better!”
“A truly customer-focused and professional company, we think!”
“We're so grateful to be able to simply step outside and enjoy this luxury on our own doorstep. This is where we recharge!”
“The support was absolutely flawless throughout, and we are more than happy with the result.”
“For us, the garden is an extended living room.”
“Excellent as always and carried out to our complete satisfaction!”
“Many thanks to the lovely Fuchs baut Gärten team for the wonderful realisation of the garden we developed together!”
“Water and light create an atmosphere in the grounds that feels almost magical. The water surface acts like a mirror of the sky – the reflections, together with water lilies and dragonflies, conjure up a world of their own in the garden.”
“Our absolute favourite spot is the new terrace with a boulder fountain and a view over the whole garden. We can't get enough of the view and keep asking ourselves: why didn't we tackle the redesign sooner?”
Two tell their own story
Magdalena Holzer and Thomas Huber told us in their gardens what has changed for them – each in a video, with a short summary to read alongside. The videos only load when you click on them.
Magdalena Holzer, née Neuner
Family garden in Wallgau · 1,500 m²
“I always feel like I can breathe again there.”
When the house was finished, there was still no plan for the garden. Today it matters to her almost even more: the family has breakfast outside, dinner outside, and in good weather the children are never indoors anyway. Designed, built and maintained by us for years.
Thomas Huber of the Huberbuam
Swimming pond in Berchtesgaden · 1,000 m²
The idea didn't come to him on holiday, but at the Naturbad am Aschauerweiher – Germany's largest natural outdoor pool, built by us. Without this public pool, he says, he would never have thought of wanting a swimming pond in his own garden too.
The result is a sheltered garden set against the backdrop of the Berchtesgaden Alps, with the pond as its heart – nominated for “Gärten des Jahres”.

Here for you across the Bavarian Oberland
Our home is the Bavarian Oberland and the area south of Munich: Tölzer Land, Tegernseer Tal, the district of Miesbach, Starnberger See, Pfaffenwinkel and Werdenfels. Some gardens are worth any journey – which is why you will also find our signature in the Chiemgau, in Rosenheim, in the Berchtesgadener Land and in Tyrol.
