What a trade website has to settle legally without turning it into a project: the legal notice under section 5 DDG, a privacy policy, consent in the contact form, price information under German price indication rules. Alongside them, day-to-day matters that surface on the website — the right of withdrawal for contracts signed at the garden table, certificates and insurance, and the cutting seasons under the Federal Nature Conservation Act that a tree care business must be able to explain. Written factually and without offering legal advice; assessing a specific case remains a matter for a lawyer.
From 1 March to 30 September German law restricts hedge and tree work. What stays allowed, which exemptions apply and what your business must be able to explain.
Liability cover, the craft register, proof of competence: which documents clients expect, what you may show and how to word it on the website without overstating.
Contracts a consumer signs in their own garden can be withdrawn. What the notice must contain, when the period starts and what happens if the notice is missing.
Net or gross, total price, from-prices: what German price indication rules require of a landscaping website, what counts as misleading, and what may be said about competitors.
Section 5 DDG explained: which details sole traders and limited companies need, where the link has to sit, and which mistakes regularly draw warnings.
Privacy policy, contact form, consent, hosting in Germany, processing agreements and audience metrics without cookies — sorted out plainly for landscaping firms.
