Methodology

Our approach to every project, large or small.

We have been designing impressive gardens for 125 years. Our family-run studio combines expertise with a Europe-wide partner network to realize high-end, bespoke projects for professional planners and garden enthusiasts alike. Our goal is to turn gardens into places where people love to spend time. Through a blend of aesthetics and function, we create spaces that inspire reflection, relaxation, and conversation.

Philosophy &
beyond

Approach

Together with our Europe-wide partner network, we develop iconic trees for demanding projects and have custom specimens cultivated individually. We support our clients' projects from design through to implementation, backed by over 125 years of family tradition.

Workflows

01
Tree Brokering: Selecting Plants

We source characteristic, rare, or unusually large plants of high-quality, nursery-grown stock for professional planners and garden enthusiasts.

For decades, we have worked with the best and most interesting nurseries in Europe.

On-site, we inspect potential trees for health, transplant quality, and overall habit.

02
Logistics, Transport & Crane Operations

Once the search is successful, we manage the logistics with proven specialists.

Careful loading at the nursery is just as important as expert unloading at the site. Only then can these valuable trees establish themselves easily in their new home.

If necessary, we use cranes for more challenging locations.

03
Collaboration with Local Specialists

When positioning large trees, we work exclusively with professional landscaping companies or nursery specialists.

This allows our regional partners to handle the work locally. For projects further afield, we collaborate with local specialists to ensure optimal post-planting care.

05
Planting & Securing

We maintain close, ongoing communication with our specialist contractors.

Digging generous planting holes, using the correct substrate, and professionally anchoring large trees ensures they take root successfully in their final location.

06
Installation of automatic irrigation

In addition to individual manual watering of newly planted trees and shrubs, the installation of a custom-configured automatic irrigation system is proving increasingly effective. Only an optimal supply of water, and later also nutrients, enables the sustainable establishment and continued growth of the plants.

07
Warranty maintenance

A growth guarantee for a defined period can only be provided if the warranty maintenance is carried out or supervised by a competent specialist company.

Project types & services

Project type
Art spaces

We develop garden spaces for art collectors and museums, often in collaboration with visual artists.

Project type
Garden spaces

We create garden spaces for garden enthusiasts. The size of the property doesn't matter; even a single new accent can make all the difference.

Project type
Roof gardens

Especially in urban areas, it is a privilege to design a roof garden that is both balanced and high-quality. Size is secondary! For us, every roof garden should be an adequate living space, both functionally and aesthetically.

Project type
Terraces & Entrances

An inviting entrance should make all the difference. Carefully selected pottery and distinctive shrubs add individual accents. Much like our rooftop gardens, we design terraces to serve as true living spaces.

Service
Logistics

Once the search is successful, we handle everything with our dedicated specialists and the necessary logistics. Careful loading at the nursery is just as important as expert unloading at the construction site. If required, we can also arrange crane operations for challenging locations.

Service
Concept & Implementation

We turn ideas into cohesive garden spaces. We develop bespoke concepts that blend architecture, plants, and materials into a harmonious whole. From the initial vision to expert implementation, we guide every project with experience, a keen sense of proportion, and an eye for detail.

Service
Garden antiques

Garden antiques can provide important accents in garden spaces. Our scouts find antique basins, circular and wall fountains of various dimensions all across Europe. We also offer ornate vases, vintage tables, and architectural elements. Worldwide delivery!

Service
Pottery

Exclusive planters for entrances, terraces, and roof gardens are handcrafted for us by various workshops across Europe. We also create custom designs to meet individual client requirements. We source and curate unique antique pieces. Worldwide delivery.
