FAQ
How do you landscape a sloping garden in Thonex?
For the sloping gardens common in Thonex, we recommend terraced layouts with retaining walls in natural stone or gabions. Ground-cover plants (periwinkle, hardy geraniums, ivy) stabilise the soil between levels. Landscaped steps and a drainage system complete the design for a garden that is both beautiful and functional.
What plants do you recommend for a well-exposed garden in Thonex?
Thonex’s favourable exposure allows the cultivation of Mediterranean species not found everywhere in Geneva: lavender, rosemary, sage, cistus, and even olive trees in the most sheltered spots. We complement these with spring-flowering shrubs and ornamental grasses for year-round interest.
Does SOS Jardin handle large tree pruning in Thonex?
Yes, our team manages the pruning and care of large trees, which are common on Thonex properties. We also handle the permit applications required by the Canton of Geneva for the removal of any protected tree. Our work follows best practices to preserve the health and longevity of your trees.
How often should a large garden in Thonex be maintained?
For a garden of more than 500 m2 in Thonex, we recommend weekly visits in high season (April to October) and fortnightly visits the rest of the year. An annual contract allows you to plan interventions and ensure consistent care: mowing, trimming, fertilisation, plant health treatment and seasonal cleaning.
