Tree pruning
The most common maintenance measure is tree pruning, which should only be carried out by professionally qualified experts and serves to:

• maintain the tree
• to preserve the tree, and
• to eliminate hazards, e.g., in road traffic

Felling trees before they fall
If a tree can no longer be preserved, it is necessary to fell it. This may be to remove wilderness, prevent disease, or avoid danger to people and property (e.g., house roofs) if the tree falls during a storm.

Damage to the tree
If mechanical damage has been caused to the bark (e.g., by ingrown fence wires, lightning strikes, scratches from parked vehicles, or damage caused by animals, etc.), the bark can no longer perform its natural protective function in these areas and provides an entry point for spores and decay-causing agents. Professional care is required here to protect the tree from serious damage.

Protective measures
On construction sites, trees are particularly at risk from stored building materials, construction machinery, soil compaction, etc. To prevent irreparable damage, it is necessary to protect the tree from the roots to the crown from harmful influences. It is also advisable to protect young trees from being eaten by wild animals if they are easily accessible to them.

Border planting
Successful border planting is based on thorough planning that takes into account the customer's wishes and the nature of the border. Carefully selected plants that suit both taste and soil and climate and harmonize in color, flowering time, and size guarantee a delightful view of blooming splendor.

Perfect planning is essential when creating a dream garden.
To avoid planning mistakes, the requirements for the garden must be clearly defined.

• Should the garden be a place of tranquility or a place for the little ones to romp around?
• Should it be an ornamental or a kitchen garden? How natural should the design be, how large is the area and what is the budget?

We would be happy to advise you on the planning and execution.
