A garden that grew in stages

Gravel paths with granite edging, topiary and views across the Alpine foothills – a private garden in Deining that we have been planning, building and maintaining in stages for long-standing clients since 2011. Most recently, a 10,000-litre cistern was added in 2026.

Some gardens come to life in a single summer. This one has been growing for fifteen years – stage by stage, with clients who have stayed loyal to us since 2011. That is why we know every corner, and the garden looks as if it had always been this way.

It began with a planting plan: perennials, trees and shrubs in spring, bulbs in autumn – snowdrops and daffodils that have returned every year since. In 2014 came the curving gravel paths with small granite setts as edging, along with serviceberry, witch hazel ‘Arnold Promise’, Japanese anemones and clipped yew balls. In 2015 we cleared the old hedge and replanted it with around 80 copper beeches, and placed boulders from the Isar. In 2019 the pavilion got its setting: a layered dry stone wall, limestone steps, small granite setts and a water-bound surface, with an insect-friendly flower strip and a magnolia ‘Susan’ at the edge.

The latest stage came in 2026: an underground 10,000-litre cistern that collects rainwater from up to 550 m² of roof – water for the whole garden, installed by Fuchs Service. Since 2017, maintenance has also been in our hands: topiary, the hedge, perennial beds. Design, construction and maintenance from a single source – that is why the transitions here look so natural.

And then there was the season when a pair of swans nested at the pond. The cygnets discovered the terrace slabs as a sunbathing spot – and left far more there than footprints. The clients celebrated the swan family, did a lot of cleaning, and in the end were glad when the family moved on. Since then the swans have nested on one of the many lakes and ponds in the area – and only drop by for a visit.
