Whether it's a small private garden, townhouse courtyard or large lodge estate,
it's all about great design. If the
design doesn't fit, is out of scale,
lacking in dynamism and excitement, then you'll never be
comfortable and you won't go there. New gardens should be
filled with character and make you go 'wow'! Just ask
our clients. |
At this up-market Guest Lodge near Sir
Lowry's Pass, a new lake for flora and fauna, paths and
streams, sundowner spaces, braai areas,
a volleyball pitch, boules lawn and swimming pools
all went into the Landscape Master Plan. These carefully
designed elements have come together to create a spectacular
place for guests to enjoy. The succulent and colourful
'Karoo Garden' , opposite, is a central feature.

Being high up
on the Helderberg Mountain, our clients could see the sea
but didn't feel close enough to it. Our brief was to
create a garden with a definite seaside feel.
Carefully incorporating solid timber into the design, has captured
the seafront look. The use of Mediterranean
blues and Strandveld flowers in pinks and mauves softens
the image to give a stylish experience
of Cape coastal life. Click on the image

Off Dorp Street in central Stellenbosch, this
newly renovated classical home demanded a garden which
complimented the Cape Dutch architecture and reminded us of
the historic importance of the place. This very formal
garden had to be pretty and colourful, low
maintenance yet very elegant.

In Somerset West, the
grandour of this executive home is emphasized by split-level
lawns and ha-ha style walls. We took the grass to
the very edge of the swimming pool to get the right scale
and sense of perfect flow. Paths lead to hidden
entertainment areas, a riverside walk and secluded
sitting decks. Click

Naturally our
clients wanted to keep their views over the Hottentots Holland
mountains. With a cascade water feature built into
a long timber deck and a series of circular
rose gardens the whole design acts as a colourful foreground
to the spectacular long distance
landscape.

In Strand, many of
the renovated townhouses once had separate outside
stables or workshops. Today, these spaces can be
designed into courtyards. Here we had to allow for
for future use as a restaurant, spa, or art gallery.
Whatever the end use, we have created a sense of shady calm
and style in a busy town centre.

A new
modern home in Somerset West with an
enthusistic owner who wanted to put something back into
nature, with a mainly indigenous garden. The brief was an
informal design with no grass but lots of flowers and
plants for wildlife. A rare opportunity to uplift the senses,
naturally. Click on the

Raspberry lavenders, erect Cypress trees and even an olive
grove set into stylish paving. Very low-maintenance,
totally eye-catching and absolutely right for the
location.
