Landscaping and gardening in Ascona
Headquartered in Ascona we handle gardening, paving and stonework for homes and small plots between the lake and the hills across the Locarnese area.
Near Lake Maggiore slope and exposure alter drainage, wind and planting choices — not just turf and beds. We look at walkways, thresholds, paving by the garage and how soil settles after groundwork, then align irrigation design with how the parcel actually dries out after rainfall.
We build new beds and renovate existing layouts: terraces, lawns, edging in local stone where it fits, hidden catch basins, fences and retaining dry-stacks when gradients need tying back. With an architect’s package we execute to spec; without one we suggest buildable detailing, seasoned materials where possible and a clear staged schedule.
Since 2011 Nikola Giardini e Figli plans site visits when photos alone are misleading. We favour compact tooling for lanes and tight entrances common to older cores and hillside lots around Brissago, Losone and Ronco sopra Ascona.

FAQ — Ascona and neighbouring towns
Do you work beyond Ascona toward Brissago, Locarno or Losone?
Yes — Ascona is our base but crews travel across the Locarnese and the rest of Canton Ticino depending on workload and logistics.
Do you only maintain gardens or also build new terraces and paths?
Both. Seasonal upkeep, redevelopment, lawns, drip or spray irrigation, walkways, masonry walls in stone, fencing and light excavation followed by turf or planting.
How does quoting work?
Send details via form, mail or WhatsApp and we organise a complimentary site visit whenever needed before issuing an itemised estimate. You're not committed until you accept it.
How do you treat heavy clay or very sandy soils by the lakeshore?
We adjust profiles and drainage routes and revisit plant or sod choices so water neither stagnates after storms nor dries out turf roots prematurely.
