ᐅ Garden Photos Chat Corner

We would like to plant several larger trees on our property after the new building is completed. Although we have a green area of about 10 x 20 m (33 x 66 ft), there are no trees on the rest of the 60 x 20 m (197 x 66 ft) lot. What are the costs for a 3 m (10 ft) tall spruce or Nordmann fir, ideally including both transportation and planting? Also, which trees would you recommend?

Take two bottles of beer and head over to your neighbor’s, ask where they get their trees from, and chat about the type.

Go to the nearest plant nursery or the closest landscaping contractor who also offers installation services.
Get advice.
Think carefully about what you want.
Conifer, deciduous tree, fruit tree, nut tree,
Focus on bees, birds, appearance, etc.

I estimate for that size approximately 400 euros per tree, plus transport and planting.

@Deadree Phew... that doesn’t sound harmless at all. Thanks for your clarification.

And then? Which came first? The farmland or the residential area?

Honestly, the residential area came first… The oldest houses date back to the 1930s. When we bought the plot, it was still in a drinking water protection zone. The old drinking water pump is even still located behind our property. In such areas, these substances would have been prohibited anyway. For example, we were not allowed to install a ground source heat pump. However, it has since been redesignated—no longer a drinking water protection zone. It’s good when people come forward with questions… maybe only then will new approaches be considered.

@hampshire Yes… I’m not going crazy, but I am aware of the issue and will raise it at the daycare center. On spraying days, the little ones better stay indoors.

In Berlin Neukölln, there is the Späth nursery, a real traditional business—definitely worth a visit! They probably have more attractive ideas than spruces 😉
