About Us

It all started with an ugly plastic box.

We are Philipp and Luisa. We didn't want to sell just any hose holder. We wanted one that we would screw onto our own house wall.

One product. Done right. Instead of ten that half-work.

Philipp und Luisa, Gründer von Garden Dock
The Founders

"We didn't want to hide the hose. We wanted to integrate it beautifully."

Philipp is an architect, Luisa a graphic designer. Four years ago, we entered the startup world with vaseboard®: the first shelving system with an integrated, three-part vase. For this, we won the Schöner Wohnen Award.

We both spend a lot of time in nature. When we were looking for a nice hose holder for our own garden and couldn't find anything, the idea was born. Added to this was our love for stainless steel, a material that lasts for decades.

Today, the Garden Dock is installed in over 500 gardens. There are two of us, and we answer every customer email ourselves, usually on the same day.

Production

Made in Southern Germany.

No container from overseas. The Garden Dock is manufactured by a metalworking company in our region, laser-cut, bent, and deburred by hand. We regularly visit the workshop ourselves.

Our Aspiration

Quality is our top priority.

It took us a long time until the Garden Dock was exactly as we wanted it: solid V2A stainless steel, neatly brushed, every edge deburred by hand. Eleven prototypes, countless sample sheets, and many discussions with our metalworking company lie between then and now.

Stainless steel was never a question for us. We love the material because it doesn't age; it endures.

What We Stand For

Four decisions we're not changing.

One product instead of ten

Better one well-thought-out thing than an assortment of compromises.

Quality over speed

Eleven prototypes, until the surface, edges and radii were perfect. Only then did the Garden Dock go into production.

From the region

Manufactured by a metal construction company in Southern Germany, less than 100 km from us.

Directly reachable

No hotline, no ticket system. Philipp or Luisa will answer.

"You notice it immediately: made in Germany."

Right weight, neatly rounded edges. My old metal holder chafed through the hose.

"Query by email, answer on the same day."

I had a question about the wall and received a proper answer, not a stock response.

"Three neighbors have already asked where it's from."

Exactly as described, even more beautiful. Stable, even with a full 20 meters.
