Mehmet Yilmaz

Mehmet immigrated to Germany from Turkey in his early twenties and started in the landscaping industry as a helper. He joined Baumpflege Schmidt five years ago, bringing valuable experience with heavy machinery from his previous construction work. He has since completed further training in arboriculture through evening courses.

Experience: Mixed experience with 10 years in related fields and 5 years specializing in tree care (5/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Operating the chipper
• Tree removal operations
• Driving and positioning company vehicles
• Structural pruning of young trees

I appreciate working with natural materials and seeing the immediate results of our work. When we finish a project, we leave behind something better than we found – healthier trees, safer spaces, and clients who understand the value of what we've done.

Physical Condition

Mehmet is generally strong and fit but suffered an accident last month when a branch unexpectedly shifted during processing. Today he has some residual pain in his left shoulder from this injury, limiting his overhead lifting capacity somewhat.

Favorite Place

Mehmet finds particular comfort in the small park near his apartment where he often takes his children on weekends. He takes pride in pointing out trees he's helped maintain through work and explaining different species to his curious kids. This park represents the intersection of his professional life and family life, and he feels satisfaction seeing how well-maintained trees enhance this community space where children play and neighbors gather.
