Example Germany: simple earthworks 8–20 €/m³, lawn installation 12–25 €/m², planting bed 25–45 €/m², dry-stone wall 200–400 €/m³, timber deck 80–180 €/m², pond by scope 1,500–10,000 €. In Poland typically 30–40 % below German rates.

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) for shrubs and perennials; summer only with consistent watering. Example Germany: no planting in frost, soil must be frost-free and not deeply frozen. Container plants can be planted year-round in unfrozen soil.

Soil analysis (pH, nutrients), loosening to 30–40 cm depth, incorporating compost (8–15 cm), additional drainage in compacted soils. Example Germany: check soil classes per DIN 18915, replace soil or apply green manure before planting if needed. Root zone matched to mature plant size.

Drip irrigation for beds (water at the root, efficient), pop-up sprinklers for lawns, hose irrigation for raised beds. Controlled by an irrigation computer with soil-moisture sensor. New plantings need intensive watering for the first 6–12 months.

Full installation with soil modelling, paths, dry-stone wall, planting beds, lawn, and irrigation: 3–5 weeks for a three-person team. Maintenance phase another 2–3 seasons until plantings are fully established. Weather-dependent (drought or prolonged rain).

Example Germany: felling large trees usually requires permission (municipal tree protection bylaw). Major earthworks, walls above 1.8 m, and ponds depending on size and state require notification or permit. Sealing rate is relevant for commercial use.
