TERRA Gartenbau AG

What TERRA Gartenbau AG does

TERRA Gartenbau AG is a Swiss garden and landscape construction and maintenance firm headquartered in Gossau ZH, operating as part of the B+G Schweiz Gruppe following a majority takeover by B+G Schweiz AG. The company delivers integrated services — design, construction, and long-term maintenance — to three customer cohorts: private homeowners (Privatkunden), commercial clients (Firmenkunden), and public-sector entities (öffentliche Hand) across the Zürcher Oberland, City of Zurich, and Winterthur regions. Operations span three physical locations (Gossau ZH headquarters, Regensdorf branch, and Kemptthal branch) supported by approximately 55 employees.

The service portfolio covers core garden and landscape construction (terraces, paving, natural stone work, walls, water features, fencing, plantings), specialized maintenance (lawn care, tree and shrub care, pond and water-feature care, holiday garden-sitting, cleaning), and a set of niche verticals — sports facility construction and maintenance (football, tennis, padel, pickleball, athletics), playground design, school grounds, street and traffic greening, parks, retirement/care home outdoor areas, residential developments, and building greening (rooftop and facade). The company also offers strategic planning and advisory services and operates a three-year apprenticeship program (Gärtner:in EFZ). Underlying delivery is people- and equipment-based: experienced planners, gardeners, and landscape builders execute projects using modern machinery and structured processes; no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or technology platforms are disclosed.

Revenue is generated from two streams: one-time project-based fees for design and construction work, and recurring maintenance contracts (lawn mowing, plant care, tree trimming, pond maintenance, seasonal services). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are direct-to-consumer via the corporate website (terra-ag.ch), phone, and on-site consultation, with lead capture through contact forms routing inquiries to project, maintenance, and apprenticeship teams. The B+G Schweiz Gruppe membership provides group-level marketing visibility, cross-referrals among sister companies, and access to expanded resources, while TERRA's local team remains the primary client interface.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Implenia AG: Switzerland's largest construction and real-estate services group, with landscape and external works as part of its broader infrastructure portfolio. Comparable as a domestic Swiss contractor serving commercial and public-sector clients, though landscaping is not its core focus.
• B+G Schweiz AG: Parent company of TERRA Gartenbau AG and a diversified Swiss landscaping and construction group. Operates multiple sister companies across complementary landscaping segments, sharing resources, brand, and cross-referrals — directly comparable operating model and customer base, but at a much larger group scale.
• ID Verde: Europe's largest landscaping services company, providing design, construction, and maintenance across multiple countries. Comparable end-to-end service model spanning private, commercial, and public-sector clients, though operating at substantially larger scale and geographic breadth than TERRA.

Direct peers

• Hawle Garten- und Landschaftsbau: Mid-sized German-Austrian regional landscape construction and maintenance contractor with a comparable design-build-maintain service portfolio. Comparable in scale (~50-100 employees), customer mix, and end-to-end offering, though operating in a different national market.
• EUROGREEN GmbH: German specialist in sports facility construction and maintenance (football, tennis, golf, athletics) — directly comparable to TERRA's Sportplatzbau and Sportplatzwartung services. Both companies bundle construction with ongoing care and irrigation, serving municipalities and clubs in the DACH region.
