Garden construction in Ticino

Building a garden is far more than planting grass and flowers: it means shaping a space that works with the soil, the climate and how you live outdoors. Since 2011, Nikola Giardini e Figli SAGL has delivered complete gardens across Canton Ticino, from excavation and soil preparation through to planting, lawn and finishing details.

What our service includes

• Site survey and layout advice
• Excavation, earth moving and substrate preparation
• Terracing, retaining structures and slope stabilisation
• Beds, hedges and paths within the green area
• Turf rolls or lawn seeding
• Planting on difficult slopes and reinstatement after works

How we work

Every project starts with a free site visit: we assess slope, drainage, sun exposure and site access. We plan phases to limit disruption and deliver a tidy result, using materials suited to the Ticino climate — often warmer and more humid near Lake Maggiore, cooler at altitude.

We work with you on practical choices: lawn type, hardy shrubs, integration with existing stone walls or paving. As a family business, the same team follows your project from start to finish, with clear timelines and transparent quotes.

Where we work

We work throughout Canton Ticino with frequent projects in Ascona, Locarno, Minusio, Gordola, Riazzino, Brissago, Ronco sopra Ascona, Bellinzona, Mendrisio and surrounding areas. Contact us even if you live elsewhere in the canton — we organise surveys and works across the region.
