Projects where green makes a difference

Every garden tells its own story. Our projects show how trees and hedges form the basis for gardens with character. From villa gardens to larger green projects: it's always about balance, charisma and quality.

Together with gardeners, landscapers and green contractors, we work on high-end projects. We think along from the initial selection to delivery and planting. This is how we ensure that the greenery is not only right today, but also continues to grow in the long term.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about garden projects and nurseries

Are you at the beginning of a garden renovation or greenery project? Then there are often many questions involved in choices for trees, hedges and planning. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions to get you started.

What should you look out for in a garden renovation project?

A good garden project starts with a clear plan. Think beforehand about space, sightlines, privacy and the desired final image. Trees and hedges largely determine the structure of the garden and require a well-considered choice, geared to soil, surroundings and use.

When do you involve a tree nursery in your project?

Preferably at an early stage. By involving a tree nursery early, you can better coordinate availability, size and seasons. This prevents surprises and ensures the project runs smoothly.

How to choose the right tree nursery for your project?

Pay attention to experience, quality and guidance. A specialised tree nursery thinks along with you, offers a wide range and can advise on the right choices for your project. At Smits, everything is done in-house, from cultivation to delivery, which ensures reliability and short lines of communication.

Which trees and hedges are suitable for the higher end?

For the higher end, mature trees, multi-stems, tight hedges and special pruning shapes are often chosen. These immediately create radiance, tranquillity and a mature image in the garden.

How important is the planting season in a garden project?

The planting season plays a big role, especially for trees and hedges from open ground. This season usually runs from October to May. Outside this period, container plants are often a good alternative. Good planning prevents delays in the project.

Can I come and select trees together with my gardener or landscaper?

Yes, we can and are happy to do so. By visiting the nursery together, you can make targeted selections on shape, size and appearance. This makes for better choices and an end result that fully matches the design.

How do you ensure that a garden project remains beautiful in the long run?

Choose quality and the right species in the right place. Strong plants, good planting and a well thought-out maintenance plan ensure that a garden develops beautifully and continues to surprise for years.

What is Smits' role during a garden project?

We support selection, planning and delivery of trees and hedges. We think along with green professionals and ensure that greenery is available at the right time and in the right quality.
