New development house at Zululami estate. Want to create a beautiful indigenous garden with large trees and plants including wooden deck and automatic pergola. House will be finished mid august. Request architectural plans and installation and planting. Must be all indigenous, tropical with large trees combined with ever green plants and flower beds. Only serious reputable companies.
We are having a problem with our neighbors. They are cutting down the trees from our yard and we need advice on landscaping and how we can rearrange the trees and correct the garden to suite everyone's preferences. I would also like to add a turtle pond to the garden for an animal we recently had rescued.
Current garden very overgrown and neglected - back garden is a shade garden with quite a few plants and shrubs that aren’t suitable for shade. Garden needs to be cleaned up and redesigned. The back lawn is very patchy as it doesn’t get much sun - seems to have a few different varieties of grass planted. Lawn needs to be dug up, soil fertilised and suitable shade grass planted. Front garden grass is fine as it is sunny. Plants overgrown which need to be removed and/or cut back and replaced with new suitable plants/ shrubs. Open to suggestions of what design /layout would be suitable so no specific style preference other than it should be water wise and easy to maintain.
We currently have paving which the roots of trees had ruined, and we already removed the trees but not the roots. We want to remove the compelte paved area and add grass. The existing paving is approximately 40-50m2. Then we want to add about a 3mx3m area of paving. We have 3,5 garden beds which we want to ‘finish off’ We also want to add edging to the garden beds.
Currently there are a few banana palms etc which I would like to stay, but the rest requires clearing - some horrible roots (palm tree) and an oliander tree to be removed. The ground needs to be leveled in places. Then I would like the entire garden composted because our soil is very sandy. And then planted up with beds, no lawn, but rather ground cover. Is it possible to give me a quote for the design and labor alone? I can get a good price for the compost and plants as I have always bought them from Boschoff Nursery.
The intention is to build a high -end market self catering chalets, roughly 8 three bedroomed with one building(9th structure)serving as the admin quarters. Currently the plot is vacant but a construction company has already been appointed while some administrative necessities are being complied with at Municipal level. The idea is to create a beautiful environment which provides each chalet with necessary privacy and the whole establishment with charming ambience.
Advise on what and how to plant in different seasons. Starting now for autumn and winter short flowering plants. I'm clueless but like prettiness..so must be colourful. Would you dig trenches and mulch them for sweet peas .cut down illegal little trees branches popping up from neighbours yard especially than awful bug weed I like my lawn relatively free for dogs and grandchildren to play Also I'm a pensioner..with a spinal fusion on my lower back there fore would be able to help much...no car either 2 do the shopping..but I can come with you to buy whatever.
Good morning, Hope you are well. We are looking for a landscaper to redo our garden in Paarl. We have a preliminary idea of the garden, please see below. image.png 1. The is currently a palisade fence and we require a solution for privacy, but it cannot be a permanent structure such as a wall due to estate rules. Maybe a decorative privacy screen. 2. We would like a build in L-shape concrete bench that should be painted approximately 3m each side. 3. A workbench for prepping space & pizza oven ( should be 1.1m deep and 1.6m wide) 4. A wall water feature with Moroccan tile that should be approximately 1.8m (L) x 1.5m (H). Between the workbench and the water feature there should be some plants. 5. Area 5 should be built in concrete, painted planter boxes with landscaping 6. Area 6 should be soft landscaping with no permanent structures.- Sunny area 7. We require a solution for ground covering e.g pavers with greenage in between. In front of the bench there should be a rectangular built-in fire pit. Total area +- 21m2 8. Walkway with pavers and chipstone leading to the garden (Total area +- 5m2) 9. We currently have 3 large cypress trees and require soft landscaping in between. This area is full shade. According to estate rules we cannot make any changes to the estate wall, so all structures (bench, water feature and planter boxes) cannot be connected to the wall. Please find attached some ideas for the look and feel. Will you please assist with a budget quote? Then after a consultation we can firm up pricing for possible order placement. Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards
Good day, I trust you are well. I require a landscape design for a new home in Umhloti. Let me know what you require. I have attached the plans image for your perusal. We need most low maintenance plants and grass. And a there is a short bank in the back of property (see image) which requires plants that prevent soil erosion. Look forward to hearing from you
