Frequently asked questions

Answers about our care guides

Why is completion and establishment care so important?

Newly planted areas and lawns can only withstand full use once they have established. Professional care in the first few months determines how well your garden develops in the long term.

Will I also receive the care guides for my building project?

Yes. For every completed project, we hand over the care guides that apply to your garden – and you can download them here at any time.

Do you also take care of the full maintenance?

Yes, our Fuchs Service GmbH looks after gardens, ponds and outdoor spaces on a regular or seasonal basis – from hedge trimming to pond care.
