About us – family business since 1961
Fuchs baut Gärten: a third-generation family business in Lenggries since 1961 – over 70 employees, multiple awards, Gärtner von Eden & Biotop partner.
A family business with roots in the Isarwinkel
In 1961, Nikolaus “Klaus” Fuchs (1933–2026) laid the foundation for Fuchs baut Gärten in Lenggries-Schlegldorf – initially with a small tree nursery and the care of fruit trees. In 1992 his son-in-law Fred Fuchs took over and converted the business into a GmbH. Since 2022, Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Balbina Fuchs and Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Ludwig Fuchs have led the company as the third generation – and the fourth generation is already growing up.

Over 70 people, one team
Fuchs baut Gärten employs more than 70 people – landscape architects and building architects, master craftspeople, technicians and journeymen, our own joiners and apprentices, plus our Erdenwerk and the construction, pond-building and maintenance teams. We value long-standing loyalty to the company, an unusually high proportion of women and training our own people.
Meet the whole team
Twice a year, everyone is there
The annual meeting in spring, the party in summer – and both here with us in Lenggries.
In spring we meet once the programme for the year is set; in summer we celebrate in our own company garden – by the same Living Pool and among the same perennial beds that we build for our clients. If you want to know who stands behind a quote, this is the best place to see it.
And this is what it looks like when everyone is there
Once a year the whole company sits in one room – office, building site, pond building, joinery, Erdenwerk. There is more laughter than minute-taking, children join in with the drawing, and that is exactly how it should look: these are the people who will soon be working in your garden.
And once a year we celebrate in our own garden
The summer party takes place where we most like to show what we can do: in our own company garden by the Living Pool. Straw hats, traditional dress, a long table under the trees – and when it gets dark, the garden lighting takes over.

Everything for your garden – from a single source
From the first idea to long-term maintenance.
We design, build and maintain high-quality private gardens and public outdoor spaces: garden design and natural stone, swimming ponds and natural pools, walls and fences, timber work from our own joinery, planting, automatic irrigation and garden lighting – as well as public projects such as parks, sports facilities and outdoor pools. Complemented by sustainable garden maintenance through our Fuchs Service GmbH.
In figures, that means: over 4,000 completed projects for around 2,500 clients between the Isarwinkel, Tegernsee and Munich, over 440 water features built – and almost 300 gardens under ongoing maintenance. We have looked after more than 300 clients for over five years, and some client relationships date back to 2005.
