The Firm

In 1991 Sandro Beckmann and Vreni Püntener, both graduate landscape gardeners, founded the firm at the mouth of the Maggia Valley. Over time, their passion for the trade led to the formation of a small, innovative company that now employs 11 people. We are active throughout the canton and if necessary we also move beyond the Gotthard. For as many as 3 years his son Luca has been working in the company as head gardener.

Garden Design

Based on good design are your ideas and dreams.
To make them come true, it is essential to design your outdoor space well. This saves costs during construction.
 

Watering

Water is essential for your garden. Especially in Ticino during the dry summer months, vegetation needs the right amount of water at the right times. Automatic irrigation is the ideal solution for this and prevents wasting a large amount of water. Solutions with rainwater tanks or water from the lake are also possible and profitable in the long run. Let our experts advise you and together we will find the ideal solution.

Paving

Natural stone, shaped or gravelled surfaces: the possibilities for beautiful paving are many.We will gladly consult you during the choice of material and bring your wishes professionally back to your garden.

Green roofs

Particularly in cities, green areas are becoming increasingly rare.
It is our job to make optimal use of every surface by turning it into a green oasis. A greening of your roof brings multiple benefits: 

- Contribution to the improvement of climate and maintenance of green areas

- Promoting the insulation of your home and reducing energy waste 

- Increasing biodiversity

- Recovery of rainwater and slow release in its natural cycle

- Protection of the roof's waterproof layer

Walls

Whether they are retaining walls, separating walls or as an aesthetic element:
for the perfect solution we provide a wide variety of materials and construction techniques.
 

Ponds and Biotopes

Water is life! Following this motto we create your aquatic landscape.
Building it as natural as possible, this will soon turn into the home of multiple animals and plants, thus bringing a little more nature into your garden.

Stairs
A staircase should be functional, but at the same time it should settle into the garden and be safe.We will gladly help you choose the right material and type of staircase for the circumstances, fulfilling your wishes step by step.
 

Fencing and visual protection

To enjoy your garden without being disturbed, there is often a need for a fence or visual protection. Hedge plantings, natural stone, wooden elements, palisades, wooden slats, etc.: a great choice, interwoven with our creativity, lead to a long-lasting result.

Arboriculture and felling

Large trees enrich our parks and gardens and improve our climate.
To keep them healthy and vigorous, regular monitoring and proper care are essential.
Thanks to our 20-meter crawler crane and our trained staff,
we are able to perform pruning, treatments, crown consolidation and other work,
safely and with great efficiency.
