210 landscapers & gardeners in Luxembourg

Some garden work can be done by yourself: mowing, light pruning, planting small beds. Other tasks require a professional, for safety, technical or regulatory reasons.

A garden project generally follows a sequence of steps, with duration depending on the scale of the work and the season.

The cost of a garden project depends on several factors, and no fixed amount can be given that applies to every situation.

The area involved is the most direct factor: a small terrace of a few square metres costs proportionally more per square metre than a larger project, due to fixed travel and preparation costs.

Soil type strongly affects earthworks: clay-heavy, rocky or poorly drained soil requires more preparation work than loose, stable ground.

Material choice plays a major role: natural stone, wood, concrete, slabs or gravel differ both in purchase cost and installation time. A complex paving pattern requires more labour than a simple straight layout.

Site accessibility also matters: a garden that is hard for machinery to reach, sloped, or hemmed in by buildings extends the work time and often requires more manual labour.

For pruning and felling, tree height, proximity to buildings, power lines or the public road, and any need for stump grinding drive the complexity of the intervention.

For a swimming pool or pond, the type of structure, the chosen filtration system and the associated earthworks are the main cost items.

Any price range given by a company before the site visit remains an indicative range, since only the visit can account for the actual condition of the plot.

The frequency and format of maintenance chosen also affect the annual budget: a season-long maintenance contract does not cost the same as a one-off intervention. Likewise, adding automatic irrigation at the time of garden creation is usually cheaper than installing it afterwards, once planting and lawn are in place.

Several mechanisms can reduce the cost of a garden project in Luxembourg; amounts and deadlines are not stated here, as they change regularly.

Municipal grants (aides communales) exist in some communes to encourage specific measures, for example greening outdoor areas or rainwater harvesting, where such schemes are in place. Conditions and amounts vary from commune to commune: check directly with your commune's relevant department.

The reduced 3% housing VAT rate (TVA logement) can apply to certain works linked to housing, under conditions, including outdoor works directly tied to the main residence. Eligibility criteria are detailed on guichet.lu.

For up-to-date information on rainwater, greening or energy-related aspects of the building, guichet.lu, myenergy.lu and klima-agence.lu are the official reference sources to consult before starting a project.

It is advisable to check your eligibility before work begins, as some schemes require a prior application.

Some communes also encourage de-sealing outdoor surfaces, for example replacing an asphalted area with permeable paving or stabilised gravel. Here too, the process and conditions must be checked commune by commune, as practices are not harmonised nationwide.

Check that the company holds a business licence from the Chambre des Métiers for the relevant activity. This is a minimum guarantee of seriousness and recognised competence.

Ask for a detailed, itemised quote rather than a single lump sum. This allows a real comparison of proposals and clarifies what is included, notably debris removal and any guarantee on planting.

Ask about proposed lead times, especially during the busy season. A company that gives a realistic, documented timeframe is more trustworthy than one claiming unexplained immediate availability.

Ask for references from similar projects, ideally in your area, to judge finish quality and how well the work holds up over time.

Check who handles the municipal authorisation process, when the project requires one: some companies manage this step, others leave it to the client.

Make sure the quote specifies warranty terms for plant survival and for the durability of outdoor masonry work, such as retaining walls. A serious professional clearly states follow-up conditions after handover.

Starting fence, wall or terrace work without first checking whether a municipal authorisation is required can lead to costly remediation, or even demolition.

Neglecting rainwater drainage when installing a terrace or paving frequently causes problems: standing water, seepage, premature deterioration of the surface.

Planting too close to the property boundary without respecting legal distances from neighbours creates disputes that can end in the removal of plants years after planting.

Choosing solely on the lowest price often results in insufficient ground preparation, invisible at handover but costly to fix later.

Ignoring the favourable periods for lawn seeding and planting, by working in the middle of summer or during frost, significantly reduces the chances of plants taking root.

Felling or pruning a tree during the nesting period without prior checks can lead to regulatory complications.

Vert.lu is not a garden company: it is a platform that forwards your request to Luxembourg-based companies active in outdoor landscaping and maintenance, selected based on their declared activity and service area.

You describe your project once, with its main characteristics: type of work, approximate area, location. This request is forwarded to matching companies.

You then receive their quotes directly and choose freely which company to work with, with no obligation and no fee for you as a homeowner.

This matching saves time compared with searching company by company, while keeping you fully in control of your final choice.

Whether it is a one-off lawn mowing, a full garden makeover, or building a swimming pool, the principle stays the same: one request is enough to receive several matching quotes and compare them calmly.

For recurring work, such as monthly lawn care during the season, it is worth agreeing clearly on frequency, scope and notice period. A written maintenance contract creates clarity for both sides and avoids misunderstandings about what is actually included.
