Marianne Sutter
Senior Landscaper & Grounds Specialist
Birspark Gartenbau AG
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Landscaper position with Birspark Gartenbau AG. Having followed your projects across the Basel region, I appreciate your emphasis on durable hardscaping, sustainable horticulture, and thoughtful site preparation. I welcome the opportunity to bring my practical background in natural stone construction and regional plant selection to your field team.
In my current work as Head Landscaper at Rheinkiesel Gartenbau AG, I supervise daily horticultural operations and hardscape installations for urban gardens and residential properties in Basel-Stadt. My duties include constructing dry-stone retaining walls, laying sandstone pathways, and executing planting plans focused on drought-tolerant perennials and native Swiss flora that minimize supplemental water demand. Additionally, I oversee on-site apprentices and colleagues in grading, machinery maintenance, and pruning standards to keep projects running efficiently.
My previous engagements have similarly reinforced my technical capabilities in terrain management and site infrastructure. While with Grünwerk Landschaftspflege GmbH, I installed subterranean drip irrigation networks and operated compact earthmoving machinery in confined residential layouts. This structural and soil focus was central during the St. Alban Courtyard Grounds Restoration, where I directed the revitalisation of a 600-square-metre private heritage courtyard, incorporating permeable gravel sub-bases and concealed drainage channels to handle heavy rainfall.
I would value the chance to discuss how my hands-on background in stonework, drainage, and planting can contribute to upcoming landscaping engagements at Birspark Gartenbau AG. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marianne Sutter
