Gardener landscaper in Fribourg
Fribourg, the bilingual cantonal capital, is built on either side of the Sarine river in a spectacular setting of cliffs and meanders. The medieval old town, the residential neighbourhoods of Schonberg and Perolles, and the developing Beaumont area offer very diverse gardening contexts. The molasse-derived soils, the Swiss Plateau climate and the pronounced differences in elevation across Fribourg’s terrain require specific expertise. Our SOS Jardin team puts this knowledge to work for your projects.
