I’m Markuss, the founder of SolArbor and a qualified arborist with several years of practical experience in tree care and garden maintenance. I have developed my knowledge and experience both in Latvia and abroad, learning and working alongside experienced professionals in the field
At the heart of SolArbor is the belief that trees and gardens should not be treated as separate elements, but as part of one living environment. Our aim is therefore to care for and manage each property with a long-term, sustainable approach, preserving and enhancing the individual character of every place.
In everything we do, we place particular emphasis on quality and safety — for our team, our clients and those around us. We work carefully and professionally, choosing the most appropriate methods for each situation while protecting the surrounding property, planting and environment throughout the work.
We believe that a well-designed garden should not require constant human intervention. Instead, we aim to create environments where plants are suited to their conditions, complement one another and gradually develop into more stable and increasingly self-sustaining systems. Nature is capable of doing much of the work itself — our role is to understand these processes, guide them where needed and intervene only when it genuinely adds value.
When creating new gardens, we consider not only how they will look when the work is complete, but how they will develop five, ten and many more years into the future. Plant selection takes into account how different species interact, their suitability for the site, seasonality and how the garden changes throughout the year. As one plant finishes flowering, another begins, while foliage, structure, texture and form continue to define the garden beyond the flowering season.
For us, every garden should reflect the individuality of its setting rather than follow a standard formula. A mature existing tree, the natural contours of the land, changing light, the surrounding landscape or even a single distinctive plant can become the starting point for the character of an entire garden.
We apply the same philosophy to the care of established gardens: do as much as necessary, rather than as much as possible. Not every natural process in a garden is a problem that needs to be corrected. Thoughtful garden management means understanding when intervention is beneficial and when the best approach is simply to allow nature to do its work.
Our aim is to create and care for environments where nature, people and the property exist in balance — places that are thoughtful and beautiful today, but develop their true character and value over time.
