Professional garden care in
Castricum.
Castricum sits in the dune belt: the Bakkum neighbourhood borders directly on the Noordhollands Duinreservaat, a dune nature reserve of over 5,300 hectares managed by PWN. Gardens here sit on drought-prone dune sand, calling for a different watering approach and more drought-tolerant planting than the clay soil of Haarlemmermeer. Further inland the soil gradually shifts to clay and peat. Felling rules are favourable here: only trees on the official "special trees" list (roughly 650 trees, at least 50 years old with streetscape value) require a permit - an ordinary tree in your garden does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly are you available in Castricum?
Castricum is about 30 to 35 minutes from our Hoofddorp base. We schedule visits here in batches on fixed route days. Get in touch to discuss the next available date - rates are the same as across our service area.
Do I need a permit to fell a tree in Castricum?
Usually not. Only trees on the municipality's official "special trees" list require a permit. An ordinary tree in your own garden can in most cases be felled without one in Castricum. We check the list for you before felling or heavy pruning.
Can you advise on a garden on dune sand in Bakkum?
Yes, we have experience with gardens bordering the Noordhollands Duinreservaat. Dune sand dries out quickly, calling for drought-tolerant planting and a different watering schedule than on clay soil. We advise you on planting that thrives here.
Are you also a paving contractor in Castricum?
Yes. The free-draining dune sand in Castricum and Bakkum needs a different foundation approach than clay soil. See our <a href="/en/knowledge-base/paving-contractor-netherlands/">paving contractor guide</a> for materials and prices.
