Landscaping listens very closely. You can only get it right once, so you need to be careful. We start with the groundwork. If your garden has just been completed, there is often little left of the ground structure after all the construction activities. It is completely pressed together and often all weed seeds and roots are still in it. The weeds should be treated and the soil should be loosened until all disturbing layers have disappeared. Should be improved if necessary. All those actions are necessary, because otherwise you will perish from the weeds. In addition, plants cannot grow, the rainwater does not want to sink and you cannot work the borders.

A clay soil can be mixed with sand and sandy soil can be made more humus-rich with compost. You can smell it manually or have it sprayed by a gardener . The spading must be done mechanically. Preferably in combination with the laying of paving and other garden constructions . Deeply excavated soil should normally 'sag' for some time. The bottom normally sounds about 20% after digging. So patience is a virtue.

Planning is important in preparation. Which part is tackled first, in such a way that you do not suffer from it with the following parts? A lot has to do with the accessibility of your plot. Do you have to go straight through the house or can you also go back? You can assume that (if you outsource the work to a professional company ) work will be done according to a meticulous planning in accordance with the possibilities on site.
