Professional garden care in
Haarlem.
Haarlem gardens are typically compact city gardens where every square metre counts. We specialise in getting the most out of small spaces: smart paving, vertical greenery and planting that tolerates the shade of surrounding buildings. Good to know: Haarlem requires a felling permit for trees with a trunk circumference of 50 cm or more (measured at 1.30 m) - even in your own garden - and pruning more than 20% of the crown also needs a permit. We handle that paperwork for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work for expats renting in Haarlem?
Yes, frequently. Dutch rental contracts usually make the tenant responsible for garden upkeep. We keep rental gardens to inspection standard with a maintenance subscription, communicate fully in English and can send photo updates after each visit.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Haarlem?
Often yes. Haarlem requires a permit for felling trees with a trunk circumference of 50 cm or more at 1.30 m height, even on private property, and there is a replanting obligation. Even pruning more than 20% of the crown requires a permit. We check your tree and handle the application.
What do you charge in Haarlem?
The same as everywhere in our service area: a fixed hourly rate for maintenance and a fixed quote for bigger projects such as patios, agreed with you before we start.
Are you also a paving contractor in Haarlem?
Yes, and in a historic city like Haarlem there is strong demand for traditional street stone such as kinderkopjes and oud-Waalse klinkers, which suits the character of the compact city gardens well. We build a foundation sized for the small, often hard-to-access plots typical of the city.
