Terrace plants need expertise

Trees and shrubs in pots live under different conditions than in open ground. They need the right soil, sufficient nutrients, targeted pruning and protection from frost. I take professional care of your terrace plants – so they stay healthy and keep their shape.

Sanitary crown cleaning of trees: pines, spruces, firs, thuja, false cypresses and others

During sanitary crown cleaning, I free the crown of old needles and dead wood. This improves ventilation and light penetration inside the tree and prevents the spread of fungi. This way, pines, spruces, firs and other conifers stay healthy in the long term and will delight you for many years on your terrace.
