Kramer and Kramer offers all-encompassing solutions for exterior zones throughout Austria, Germany, Switzerland and in the bordering countries. The epicentre of these garden architects is located in Zöfing, just half an hour northwest of Vienna, where they have their own nursery full of meticulously cultivated trees, including rose gardens which they graft, refine and cultivate, as well as fruit trees and ornamental plants, a wide variety of blossoming and hedge plants, coniferous trees, allee-trees and highly distinctive solitary growths, aptly named uniqueTrees®. These are complemented by carefully selected tree specimens which are themselves rarities drawn from the most renowned nurseries in Europe. The plants are seen as sculptures, as living works of art, treated the way an artist treats his own materials and their characteristics, changing and molding them slowly and intensively. They are fitted into highly individualized landscape forms, taking into consideration the features of the terrain and the shape of the overall garden. Each and every tree fits flawlessly into the overall concept.

Kramer and Kramer can make anything possible for the ultimate vision into which every tiny detail fits perfectly. Rooftop gardens with
uniqueTrees® are even possible in the middle of a city. “It is an immense challenge to work with natural resources, it awakens our enthusiasm every day anew,” says Bernhard Kramer.
