Garden Landscaping

Patios, fences and complete makeovers

From a new patio or fence to a complete garden makeover: we handle the entire project from design to completion, with a fixed quote for materials and labour agreed before we start. We use quality materials suited to the heavy clay soil of the Haarlemmermeer polder, so nothing sinks or shifts after a year.

Why Hovenier Hoofddorp

Why choose our gardeners?

Planning a garden renovation in the Netherlands? We build patios, fences and complete gardens across Haarlemmermeer, Haarlem, Heemstede and Amstelveen. Fixed quotes up front, English communication throughout, and materials chosen for the local polder clay. As a paving contractor we also lay traditional Dutch street stone - oud-Waalse klinkers, IJsselsteentjes and kinderkopjes - and handle difficult gardens with slopes or wet ground. After the build, we can also take care of styling your garden with furniture, pots and lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a new patio cost in the Netherlands?

The cost of a professionally installed patio depends mainly on the material: concrete tiles are the budget option, ceramic tiles are the most popular choice for their durability and low maintenance, and natural stone is the premium option. We always provide a detailed fixed quote after a site visit.

Do I need a permit for a fence or garden project?

Usually not. In a back garden, fences up to 2 metres high are permit-free in the Netherlands. In front gardens the limit is 1 metre. For corner plots the side garden often counts as a front garden, so check before building - we verify this for you as part of every fencing quote.

How long does a garden makeover take?

A patio of around 20 m² takes 1 to 2 working days. A complete garden renovation with paving, fencing and planting typically takes 3 to 7 working days. You receive a fixed schedule with the quote.
