Indicative pricing for 2025

Figures below are indicative ranges for 2025, quoted in UAH. Each one is confirmed in a written quotation after the site survey, because slope, water table depth and access width move the total more than any choice of planting.

Full ticket contents are listed under service tiers and deliverables. Send your plot details through the enquiry form.

Answers to settle before the first trench is opened

Clay, water, paperwork and winter decide whether a countryside garden still reads as finished in year five. These are the questions our surveyors answer most often.

Most plots around Kyiv carry clay from 60 to 120 cm. We first break the compacted pan mechanically, then build a 25 to 40 cm root zone from screened subsoil, sand and compost. Full replacement is quoted only where the clay is pure grey and unmixed.
