Gardening in Switzerland — your questions

What gardening jobs can I book on Werkara?

How do I find gardening help near me?
Post your task in the Werkara app or on werkara.com — your district, the size of your garden and what needs doing. Nearby gardeners reply with offers; you compare profiles, arrange a free visit and book online or in the app.
Werkara gardener or a landscaping company — what is the difference?
A landscaping company (Gartenbau) is the right choice for redesigns and construction work. For recurring jobs — mowing, hedges, weeding, seasonal cleanups — an independent local gardener from Werkara is usually faster to book, more flexible and more affordable, with no minimum contract.
Can I book the same gardener regularly?
Yes. Most garden owners set up a fixed rhythm with one helper — every second week for the lawn, twice a year for the hedge — so the garden stays consistently cared for by someone who knows it.
Do gardeners bring their own tools?
You agree this in the chat before booking. Many helpers bring their own mower, trimmer and shears; others work with the tools in your garden shed. State what you have in your task and offers will match it.
How quickly can I get help in the garden?
Most gardening tasks across Switzerland receive first replies within hours. In the peak season (spring and early summer) book a few days ahead; for urgent jobs mark your task as urgent and nearby helpers are notified immediately.
