Station square Apeldoorn

Station square in Apeldoorn has been given a makeover. The station square is the entrance to the city and highlights Apeldoorn as a modern city in the Veluwe region. Sixty conifers in yellow paving are a direct reference to the landscape. 49 size 50-60 tall trunk Pinus sylvestris were planted in this square in the 2005-2006 season. The plant construction was a special feature of this project. A great deal has been invested in the growth of these trees. The trees are planted in concrete bunkers.

Philips High Tech Campus Eindhoven

In the past three years several deliveries of size 25-30 Quercus robur have arrived at the premises of Philips High Tech Campus. These inland oaks were planted on the central axis, known as the “Strip”. Hundreds of plants have now been planted here. Van den Berk Nurseries took on the complete job, so including planting, aftercare and re-growth guarantee.

Oldehoofsterkerkhof Leeuwarden

The large square in front of Leeuwarden town hall has been completely transformed into a multifunctional square. An underground car park has been constructed under the square, making parking on the square almost impossible.

In addition to the eye-catcher on the Oldehoofsterkerkhof, the leaning tower, several types of trees were selected, namely Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Unifoliola’, Acer saccharinum and Acer saccharinum ‘Laciniatum Wieri’ and Platanus acerifolia ‘Tremonia’. A number of trees including Sophora japonica, Magnolia kobus and Quercus frainetto ‘Forest Green’ were planted around the square.

Municipality of Groningen

Two large trees were planted on the station square in Groningen in the winter of 2006. These trees are sunk into the roof of the bicycle parking garage. A size 100-120 Quercus palustris and a size 120-140 Acer saccharinum were selected. The council selected such large trees because the trunk had to be free of branches to a height of 7 metres. These 7 metres of branch-free trunk is topped by an impressive crown. The council selected these trees at the nursery three years ago.

Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum Leiden

The fact hospitals have quality as a high priority is also evident in the decoration of the exterior space at the Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum.

Each of the 41 Corten steel containers contains a solitary Cercidiphyllum japonicum. Shrubs were selected by the principal at our nursery.

Municipality of Weert

The centre of Weert was renovated last spring. Two large roof/Pollard sycamores were planted at the Oelemarkt. The large size immediately gave this market square a mature and intimate image. Eighteen trained lime trees were planted at the Korenmarkt. Re-using old trees immediately gave this market a mature look that people could enjoy straight away.

Industrial estate Trade Port A58 Tilburg

At the planned Trade Port A58 industrial estate it was been decided to plant trees before building the business premises. This will immediately give the industrial estate a green look. The planting consisted of a combination of Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata Van den Berk’ and undergrowth of holly.

The type Quercus robur ‘Fastigiata Van den Berk’ is special because it keeps its green leaves for longer in the autumn, and also keeps its brown leaves for longer in the winter.

De Woerd new construction project

That project developers take the exterior space seriously is clearly visible in the De Woerd new Construction project in De Meern. Using heavier trees, varying from sizes 16-18 to 90-100 allows the residents to enjoy the exterior space immediately.

Effective collaboration between the principal, parks contractor and our company allowed the project to be completed successfully, with all trees thriving.
