Bächler + Güttinger AG

What Bächler + Güttinger AG does

Bächler + Güttinger AG is a Swiss garden, landscape, and sports field construction and maintenance company headquartered in Kiesen, Canton of Berne. Founded in 1914, the company operates as a full-service provider covering design, planning, construction, and ongoing lifecycle maintenance of outdoor spaces for three customer segments: private homeowners, commercial and enterprise clients, and public-sector institutions. Its core service portfolio is organized into three lines — Garden and Landscape Construction (Garten- und Landschaftsbau), Garden Maintenance and Care (Gartenunterhalt und Gartenpflege), and Sports Field Construction (Sportplatzbau) — and is delivered through a direct sales-led model with project-based quotations.

The technical offering spans site-specific hardscape and softscape works (terraces, natural stone, paving, fences, water features, lighting, playgrounds, swimming pools) and specialized sports surfaces including football pitches, golf courses, tennis and padel courts, athletics tracks, riding arenas, and associated drainage and irrigation systems. The company employs qualified professionals including a Landscape Architect BSc FH and dedicated department heads for sports field construction and garden maintenance, reflecting a craft-skilled operating model rather than a technology or asset-light platform.

Bächler + Güttinger AG is a private Swiss corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) and a member of the B+G Schweiz Gruppe, a Swiss conglomerate of garden and landscape construction companies. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project contracts and recurring maintenance services, with pricing determined per project and not publicly disclosed. The company does not have disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or public listing, and operates exclusively within Switzerland.
