Hohenberg

What Hohenberg does

Hohenberg GmbH is a privately held, family-owned Garten- und Landschaftsbau company headquartered in Seevetal, in the Hamburg metropolitan area of Germany. The company traces its lineage to 1960 (as Schöne & Hohenberg GmbH) and was re-established in its current legal form in 1987 by Andreas Hohenberg, with third-generation family member Constantin Hohenberg joining as Managing Director in 2022. It serves four primary customer segments — private homeowners, property management and residential complex operators, commercial and corporate clients, and public-sector/municipal customers — exclusively within the Hamburg metropolitan region and surrounding Nordheide area.

The company operates a broad service portfolio of approximately 17 landscaping capabilities spanning design, construction, and maintenance: tree work, irrigation, drainage (certified specialist status under Güteschutz Kanalbau), earthworks, woodwork, stonework, planting, playground construction, pond and water features, fencing, basement waterproofing, winter services, and roof greening. Its core technology differentiator is the 'Smart Garden / Smart Gardening' module, which integrates third-party Husqvarna Automower robotic mowers, Hunter automated irrigation, and FXLuminaire outdoor lighting into a smartphone/SmartHome-controlled ecosystem. Dachbegrünung (roof greening), delivered in partnership with Optigrün, has emerged as a strategic growth vertical, demonstrated by a 4,000 m² intensive green roof project executed in Ratzeburg in 2024.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project-based construction work and recurring garden maintenance and Smart Garden services, with pricing determined per project following free initial consultation. Distribution is direct-to-customer via field sales, on-site consultations, phone and email inquiries, and a digital presence spanning the company website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The customer base includes institutional and commercial reference projects such as the PRO Stiftung senior-living development, Berufsschulzentrum am Anckelmannsplatz (~13,500 m² outdoor area), Parkhotel Hagenbeck Lindner, and ARTIS/MARPOSS Monitoring Solutions GmbH, alongside a long tail of private residential clients.
