Frequently asked questions

The costs for excavating a garden average between €10 and €15 per square meter, depending on the size and accessibility of the garden. For a 50 m² garden, you can expect a total amount between €500 and €750. This investment is essential for preparing your garden for new planting, paving, or other landscaping projects.

The duration of excavating a garden depends on the area and complexity of the terrain. On average, a professional gardener can fully excavate and remove the soil of a 50 m² garden within one to two days. Factors such as soil condition and accessibility can influence the exact timeframe.

A gardener follows these steps when excavating your garden:

  • Preparation: Mapping the area and determining the required excavation depth.
  • Excavation: Removing the topsoil using appropriate equipment, such as an excavator.
  • Removal: Disposing of excess soil and debris at a certified processing facility.
  • Leveling: Smoothing and preparing the subsoil for further landscaping activities, such as planting or paving.

These steps provide a solid foundation for your future garden plans.
