AFRO-CONTEMPORARY



This delightful garden was created by the trendsetting experts of Kingfisher Landscaping. The client’s brief to the resourceful landscape designer was to revamp the old, existing garden and give it a modern twist. Kingfisher Landscaping did just that by incorporating clean, flowing lines into the hard and soft scaping elements, and adding stylish décor pieces to the overall garden design.
In the front garden, the Kingfisher Landscaping specialists constructed a monolithic water feature, which oozes relaxation. Textured layers of cobble edging, concrete screed slabs and charcoal coloured pebbles around the water feature contrast pleasantly with lush, decorative rushes (juncus fine) and sedges (carex testacea) which were planted to softly frame this part of the garden. All of the cement features were finished in an aged concrete effect.
The in-house sculptor of Kingfisher Landscaping carved a group of abstract humanoid sculptures from Free State sandstone. These beautiful figures were displayed on a concrete plinth, behind the water feature, with a wooden screen – created from balau wood – serving as a perfect background to this aesthetically pleasing area. Young silver birch trees were also incorporated and will soon grow into veritable focal features and casters of shade. Existing heavenly bamboo (nandina domestica) were transplanted against the boundary walls, to grow into a natural border.
Just to the right of the front door, the Kingfisher Landscaping experts erected three Cubedec steel screens, with a rusted finish and planted a tree aloe (aloe bainesii) in front of each screen. These stunning décor pieces were manufactured in their in-house décor factory. A lush bed of sweet flag grasses (acorus graminues “Golden Pheasant) swathes these features, with luxuriant rushes (juncus fine) bordering the raised planter.
The back garden was transformed into an inviting and contemporary entertainment area by the Kingfisher Landscaping connoisseurs. Their internal wooden decking team installed a curvaceous balau wooden deck around the swimming pool, and sealed the wood with a mahogany coloured finish. Furthermore, they constructed a large and welcoming braai pit, with raised, circular concrete seating around it. Young yellowwood trees (podocarpus latifolius) were planted strategically, ensuring ample shade for this lovely area in the future.
The renovated garden perfectly complements the attractive home, which it so effortlessly envelops.
