Why choose SOS Jardin in Ecublens?
New development expertise. Ecublens is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the Lausanne region, with many new residential projects. We create gardens from bare construction sites — handling soil remediation, drainage, planting, turfing and irrigation to deliver complete outdoor spaces on schedule.
Family garden design. Ecublens attracts many families, and our team designs gardens that work for everyone: safe play areas for children, low-maintenance plantings, robust lawns, practical storage and attractive spaces for adults to relax and entertain.
Venoge corridor knowledge. The Venoge river runs through Ecublens, and properties near the watercourse face specific challenges including periodic flooding, high water tables and riparian vegetation regulations. Our team understands these constraints and creates gardens that work with, not against, the river environment.

FAQ
Does SOS Jardin create gardens for new-build homes in Ecublens?
Yes, we regularly work on new residential developments across Ecublens. We manage the complete process: clearing construction debris, decompacting and amending the soil, installing drainage and irrigation infrastructure, building terraces, paths and fencing, planting trees, shrubs and perennials, and laying turf. We coordinate with builders to start as soon as exterior access allows, so your garden is ready shortly after you move in.
How do you design a child-friendly garden in Ecublens?
We create gardens where children can play safely while adults enjoy a well-kept space. Key elements include a resilient lawn area for play, non-toxic plant species throughout, clear sight lines from the terrace, secure fencing if needed, and dedicated zones for a sandpit, swing set or trampoline. Low-maintenance plantings around the edges keep the garden attractive without constant attention.
Can you work on gardens near the Venoge river in Ecublens?
Yes, but gardens near the Venoge require special consideration. The high water table and occasional flooding mean we select moisture-tolerant plants and avoid deep foundations near the riverbank. Cantonal regulations protect the riparian zone, so structures and plantings must respect setback requirements. Our team is experienced with these constraints and designs gardens that are both beautiful and compliant.
What maintenance does a typical Ecublens garden need through the year?
A standard Ecublens family garden needs mowing every week to ten days from April to October, hedge trimming two to three times per year, bed weeding and mulching in spring and autumn, lawn fertilisation in spring and autumn, leaf clearing in November and a general winter preparation in late autumn. We offer annual contracts covering all these tasks so you can enjoy your garden without the workload.
