<p>The superlative landscaping experts from Kingfisher Landscaping created this phenomenal garden, reflecting a contemporary minimalist style. At the front door of this beautiful home, the landscapers constructed a unique water feature by placing three steel tubes into a square concrete basin. This feature was strategically built in a circle of lush, green jaburans, which create an interesting contrast against the clean look the rest of the garden displays. Three Mosaic circles placed against the wall perfectly complement the silver colour of the steel tubes, and playfully reflect the natural light. In the front garden, the experts from Badec Bros Mosaic created the phenomenal mosaic mural. The circular mirrors in this work of art reflect the circular shapes of the three mosaic features that are placed against the front door, as well as the steel tubes of the water feature. Two beautiful, well-established aloe bainesii were planted as feature plants to flank the mosaic mural. The circle of jaburans was hemmed in by a double cobble line, filled with arrabella rock, creating an interesting effect.</p>
<p>The Kingfisher team went on to construct a seligna wooden deck around the swimming pool, and laid down a matching footpath consisting of seligna stepping blocks leading towards the Koi pond. Four feature walls were built at the bottom of the deck and painted in a bright red to act as a distinctive water feature. Luxuriant bamboo was planted behind these walls to create a soft and contrasting backdrop. Cobbles and gabion baskets filled with arrabella rock were used to create neat borders and provide the garden with interesting lines. The experts planted plump grey rock roses next to the path leading towards the Koi pond to add some appealing texture to this exquisite garden.</p>
<p>The walkway, layered with seligna stepping blocks and over-shadowed by bright red steel hoops, leads one from the pool area to the Koi pond and the rest of the garden. In the background, the team constructed two more feature walls and tiled them with red mosaics. This feature mirrors the bright red walls of the water feature at the swimming pool.</p>
<p>In the foreground, the Kingfisher landscaping experts created a large, circular dry bed that perfectly complements the abstract theme this garden holds. Tiling the boundary wall with mirror mosaic tiles, this look fashions a strong contrast to the plump, prickly succulents such as the euphorbias, golden barrels and aloes planted in the dry bed. In the background, a triangular Koi pond was built and tiled with mirror mosaic tiles, falling in sync with the overall theme of the garden, and above the pond the team constructed an interestingly shaped wooden deck as a relaxing seating area.</p>
<p>Whether it is landscaping, installations of Koi ponds, water features, wooden decking, garden illumination, swimming pools, irrigation or the inclusion of mosaics in the garden – Kingfisher Landscaping will always define your exterior lifestyle in a stylish fashion.</p>

<p>Yet another magnificent garden was created by the imaginative experts of Kingfisher Landscaping; employing copious quantities of indigenous plants and an advanced landscaping philosophy.  The garden envelops this spectacular home and flawlessly complements the fashionable architectural style. </p>
<p>Kingfisher Landscaping utilized the spacing of the established trees to position the generous plant beds, which we planted with flowering indigenous plants, such as jaburan grass (<em>ophiopogon jaburan vittatus</em>), wild garlic (<em>tulbaghia violacea</em>), bulbines (<em>bulbine frutescens</em>), mountain aloe (<em>aloe marlothii</em>) and strelitzia <em>(strelitzia reginae</em>).  The beds were then bordered with cobble edging and arabella rock (<em>sandstone dump rock</em>).  Substantial lawn areas among the plant beds enhance the available space on this property and invite one to take a relaxing amble through the garden.</p>
<p>As you enter the property, a winding driveway escourts you to a salient water feature, with three spouts protruding from a steel gabion wall; allowing the water to flow into a raised, square trough below.  Papyrus (<em>cyperus papyrus</em>), wild garlic (<em>tulbaghia violacea</em>) and bulbines (<em>bulbine frutescens</em>) swathes the water feature in feathery profusion. </p>
<p>Along one border line, Kingfisher Landscaping planted cape aloes (<em>aloe ferox</em>) in a bed of arabella rock, with a wall of mountain aloes (<em>aloe marlothii</em>) behind it.  Textured layers of varigated grasses (<em>ophiopogon jaburan variegata</em>), evergold carex grass (<em>carex oshimensis</em>), and cape thatching reed (<em>chondropetalum tectorum</em>) form a pleasing backdrop to this eye-catching area. </p>
<p>Raised circular planters were constructed next to the swimming pool and planted with tree aloes (<em>aloe bainesii</em>), which<em> </em>act as striking feature plants.  A flourishing bed of jaburan grass (<em>ophiopogon jaburan vittatus</em>) was planted around the planters, to soften the austere quality of the hard landscaping in this zone. </p>
<p>The end result is a picturesque landscape which serves as a tranquil refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday city living. </p>
<p>Whether it is landscaping, installations of Koi ponds, water features, wooden decking, garden illumination, swimming pools, irrigation or the inclusion of mosaics in the garden – Kingfisher Landscaping will always define your exterior lifestyle in a stylish fashion.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The use of hedges in your garden has numerous advantages.  They can be used to create privacy in your garden; as dividers to create different areas in your garden; to muffle noise and act as a windbreak; to create mazes; to attract birds and butterflies to your garden; to hide ugly walls; to improve your security around your home and garden; and to act as a green background for other plants in your garden.  Hedge plants are relatively cheap and low-maintenance.</p>
<p>The maintenance required once you have planted your hedge plants, involves pruning when the plants are still small.  This will encourage the plant to grow dense.  You also need to pinch the tips, while the plants are still actively growing to promote the growth of side shoots.</p>
<p>If you want to plant a hedge for security – along your border walls – you can use a paper flower bougainvillea (<em>bougainvillea glabra</em>), num-num (<em>carissa bispinosa</em>) or natal plum (<em>carissa macrocarpa</em>).</p>
<p>Other plants that can be used as security measures include aloes, cacti, agaves, and any other plant that has thorns.</p>
<p>The landscaping experts at Kingfisher Landscaping design and implement<strong> </strong>exceptional and beautiful gardens in a professional manner and can provide the home owner with any exterior decorative feature.  We pride ourselves in providing our clients with excellent, efficient and comprehensive service.  We offer all the products and services associated with creating a peaceful, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space which will complement the style of your home and in which you can relax.</p>
<p>Ultimately the design and type of plants selected depend on the architectural style of the home and the home owners’ preferences.</p>
