How wooden deck works proceed in Switzerland

The outdoor works company begins with a site survey: soil analysis, gradient survey, identification of underground services (water, electricity, telecoms) and checking access routes for plant machinery. The quote distinguishes earthworks from materials (paving, gravel, plants) and installation. For a standard terrace or garden layout (100 m²), works take 3 to 7 days depending on complexity. The optimal season for planting is spring or autumn. At handover, the client receives a maintenance plan for the planting and watering instructions for the first season.

Regulations and standards in Switzerland

In Switzerland, any permanent outdoor structure (covered terrace, carport, fence over 1.2 m, swimming pool) requires a building permit from the municipality. Legal setback distances from property boundaries are set by cantonal building codes (generally 0.5 to 2 m depending on the type of structure). The degree of soil waterproofing is regulated in building zones: paved surfaces must not exceed a certain proportion of the plot. The Federal Waters Protection Act (GSchG) imposes rules for rainwater drainage and prohibits certain plant protection products near watercourses.

Budget and tax deductions

Outdoor landscaping works are generally considered value-adding investments that are not tax-deductible, unless they constitute the restoration of an existing structure (terrace refurbishment, retaining wall repair). If your property is rented, however, garden and landscaping maintenance costs are deductible. Works that promote biodiversity (green roofs, rain gardens, surface desealing) may qualify for municipal subsidies in several French-speaking cities. Some cantons offer assistance for replacing impermeable surfaces with permeable paving. Check with your municipality before works begin.

Frequently asked questions — Wooden Deck

How much does wooden deck cost in French-speaking Switzerland?
Indicative prices range from 180 to 450 CHF/m² depending on the canton and complexity of the project. Geneva and Lausanne tend to be 10–18% above average due to higher living costs. Always request a written quote for your specific project.
How do I find a reliable wooden deck professional?
Look for tradespeople with a Swiss federal certificate of competency (CFC) or federal diploma, up-to-date professional liability insurance and verified client reviews. SOS-Travaux.ch pre-vets all partner tradespeople before listing them on the platform.
How long does wooden deck typically take?
Duration varies significantly depending on the scope of work. Minor repairs may take a few hours; a full renovation can span several weeks. The tradesperson will provide an estimated timeline in the written quote after assessing your specific project on site.
Are there Swiss government subsidies available?
Yes — the federal and cantonal Buildings Programme offers subsidies for energy efficiency improvements (insulation, heating system replacement with renewables, solar panels). Some cantons and municipalities offer additional incentives. Ask your tradesperson about eligibility before signing the quote.
What warranty applies to the work?
Swiss law (Code of Obligations art. 371) provides a 5-year warranty for construction defects and a 2-year warranty for apparent defects. Ensure this is explicitly mentioned in the contract or accepted quote. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment are additional to the legal warranty.
