Certainty beneath our feet and above our heads: How we help nature thrive

Have you ever wondered what holds the world above you together? Why the canopy of trees is strong enough to shield you from a sudden spring downpour? Or how balcony plants survive hot summer days without constant watering? The answer lies not only in nature itself but also in the people and technology quietly supporting it. Whether up in the treetops or deep at the roots, nature would be more vulnerable without smart, sustainable solutions.

Trees are more than just a backdrop

Trees are our silent companions – they calm the noise of cities, provide shade in the summer heat, and witness our daily lives. Yet even they need help to grow strong and safe. Arborists (experts in tree care) are behind every healthy avenue and every majestic tree standing proud in town squares.

Their work blends science, physical skill, and a deep respect for nature. Harnesses and webbing straps are their daily tools, securing equipment for working at height, stabilizing branches, and preventing damage during storms or high winds.

Webbing straps as guardians of urban greenery

In arboriculture, webbing straps ensure both the safety of arborists climbing trees and the structural stability of the trees themselves. When a tree’s crown is damaged, straps act like a bandage – holding broken branches together, distributing tension evenly, and giving the tree time to heal naturally.

Special wide tubular webbing straps also protect the bark during the installation of cabling systems, which prevent branches from splitting. Straps also play a vital role in controlled tree felling – guiding the fall safely to avoid damage to property or harm to people.

Planting: The first step toward strong growth

Care for trees begins at planting. Our polypropylene straps, available in 30 mm widths (and other sizes as well), are designed for binding young trees to support posts. The right materials prevent swaying, protect the trunk from leaning or bending, and reduce the risk of bark damage. When properly secured, a young tree can establish strong roots and become a lasting part of both urban and rural landscapes.

Stabilizing an oak in Hradec: Tradition meets modern care

In the village of Hradec, in the Pilsen region, stands a 125-year-old oak tree – a symbol of resilience for the local community. This majestic oak requires regular care, from pruning and installing tree bracing systems to inspections after windstorms. High-quality webbing straps play a crucial role in preventing branch breakage and ensuring this oak continues to provide beauty and shade for years to come. It’s a perfect example of how modern arboriculture and technical support help preserve natural heritage in urban settings.

From tree crowns to flower pots – plant care in every detail

Our commitment to green spaces doesn’t stop with trees. At Mouka Tišnov, we also produce textile self-watering wicks for flowerpots. These wicks are a favorite among both professional gardeners and plant enthusiasts. They draw water and deliver it directly to the roots, promoting healthy growth and maintaining optimal soil moisture.

Our main partner in this field is Plastia, a company that incorporates our wicks into its innovative self-watering flowerpots. Together, we make it easier for your houseplants and balcony flowers to flourish, while reducing the need for frequent watering and conserving water.

We plant the future

We believe that technology should support nature, not burden it. That’s why in 2022 we partnered with the "Sázíme stromy" (We Plant Trees) project to help restore tree planting initiatives. We donated webbing straps for the planting of a cherry orchard near the village of Cholina, strengthening the bond between the local community and the surrounding landscape.
