In 1713 Ernst August Charbonnier worked in the French Garden in Celle . Only a few years later, in 1717, he was appointed his father's successor for the Great Garden in Herrenhausen .

In 1720 Charbonnier laid out the garden at Montbrillant Castle for the Lord Chamberlain Ernst August von Platen (later the Welfengarten ).

In 1726/27 Charbonnier created the Herrenhäuser Allee from 1,300 linden trees as a visible connection between the Leineschloss in the city of Hanover and the summer residence in the Herrenhausen Gardens . At the same time, he created the avenue in the Berggarten , which today is the driveway leading from Herrenhäuser Straße to the Welfen mausoleum and is the property of the Welfenhaus .
