Link Gmbh Garten und Landschaftsbau

What Link Gmbh Garten und Landschaftsbau does

Link GmbH Garten- und Landschaftsbau is a family-owned landscape construction general contractor headquartered in Fellbach-Schmiden near Stuttgart, Germany. Founded in 1981 by Thomas Link and now employing 175 people across an integrated corporate group, the company executes complex, large-volume landscape construction projects for industrial enterprises (BOSCH at Gerlingen, Sueddeutsche Krankenversicherung, Kaeltefischer), municipalities (City of Stuttgart Neckarpark, Remseck), sports clubs (Kickers Stuttgart, Golf-Club Solitude), and private homeowners. Its eight principal service lines span large-scale outdoor facilities, sports and leisure facilities, river renaturation, earthworks and canal construction, roof and facade greening, pathway and stair construction, concrete construction, and custom wood/metal fabrication delivered through subsidiary FMH (Fellbacher Metall- und Holzbau). The corporate group also encompasses ASR (asphalt and road construction), GOLDBERG [WERK] event venue, and GRADIVA apartments.

The company's technology stack is unusual for the German GaLaBau sector: GPS-controlled heavy equipment (excavators, dozers, loaders) receives digital terrain models generated by drone-based surveying and AutoCAD processing, enabling centimeter-precise earthworks. A 4,000 m² in-house workshop under FMH fabricates custom metal and timber elements, and a mobile workshop team provides on-site equipment repair, minimizing downtime. Annual operational scale is 50,000 m³ of earth moved and 1,300 trees planted.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts secured via public tenders and direct enterprise procurement, complemented by recurring garden maintenance services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no external investors; Marc-Philipp Link joined management in 2022 as part of a generational transition from founder Thomas Link. The firm operates primarily in the Stuttgart metropolitan region and broader southern Germany, with employer branding (Kununu Top Company 2026) and a structured apprenticeship program as notable strategic priorities.
