Appropriate drainage in a garden is of utmost importance; otherwise you will end up with muddy areas in your garden, rotting plants or even worse, damaged house and wall foundations.
Soil types, such as clay soil, will certainly cause drainage problems in your garden, as it tends to retain water. A shallow water table on your property will also create drainage problems. You can check for poor drainage on your property by looking out for wet patches or puddles of water on the ground.
The first technique you can use to improve the drainage in your garden, entails removing the first 15cm of topsoil and replacing it with more soluble soil.
Another technique which can be used – and which is not as intensive – is to create different levels in your garden area. You can either arrange a slightly sloped ground level in your garden, or you can shape your garden areas in such a way, as to create channels to carry the excess water away.
A third technique involves installing a French drain. This entails creating a type of underground sieve, by digging a trench and filling it with loose debris, like excess building materials or pebbles. This sieve should be covered by a strong steel grid and a layer of top soil of about 15cm thick. The ideal place to create this sieve would be at the lowest part of the garden, where most of the water gathers.
You can also utilize a poorly drained area by having your landscaper design and create a large pond.

Our designer had free reign and tons of fun in creating these playful exterior décor pieces for a longstanding client of Kingfisher Landscaping.
He started off with designing mild steel Cubedec planters, which differed in sizes. Our team of décor experts created these planters, which were powder coated in various vibrant colours and decorated with unique laser-cut slogans. These planters were strategically placed in a corner of the garden, where they were planted with plump euphorbias and agaves, which enhanced the play with texture.
Next, our creative designer dreamed up the concept of Cubedec gabion retainer walls, which were powder coated and filled with an assortment of interesting objects, ranging from slate stones to oil lamps.
Our experienced and creative teams at Badec Bros Mosaic, in conjunction with our in-house exterior décor company, Badec Bros Deco manufactured this vibrant Cubedec mild steel bench with mosaic tiling and a faux lawn top.
The final touch to this inspiring revamp was the inclusion of mild steel balls, which were attached to round steel rods, and planted amongst the plants in the flower beds. Once again, these features were powder coated in a plethora of bright colours.
Our team of dedicated professionals can design and implement exceptional and beautiful gardens in a professional manner. We can also 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.

A beautiful landscape starts with an innovative design. An innovative design is the vision of the customer brought to life by experienced landscape architects. At Kingfisher Landscaping, our team of landscape architects works side-by-side with customers to create memorable environments for people to enjoy day in and day out.
Our design team consists of the most talented and innovative landscapers in South Africa. Throughout the years our designs have broken new ground in the landscaping industry and will continue in the years to come…
Our Design Philosophy
There are five definitive elements that we take into consideration when designing a garden.
Element 1 – The architectural style of your home.
The design of a garden should emphasize the characteristics of the residence. A perfectly designed landscape should always compliment the architectural style of your home.
Element 2 – Sunlight.
Our second step would be to find out where the sunniest areas in the garden are. This is not only for the benefit of plants but also for people. There’s nothing more magnetic than a spot showered with morning light, and good garden design is all about arranging subtle magnets to draw us outside…Element 3 – Privacy
It doesn’t matter if your garden is small or large, every garden needs some element of privacy. We are always looking for new ideas and designs to make privacy a design feature in your garden…
Element 4 – Viewpoints
Viewpoints are one of the success factors for a perfectly
designed garden. It is very important to create garden viewpoints so that you can pull the garden into your home through a featured window. Viewpoints are wonderful compositions in themselves and yet blend in perfectly into the garden when viewed from outside.Element 5 – The practical side
Lastly, there is the practical and functional side. It is important to check soil type and quality;
to take drainage into consideration; provide for children and animals; consider access and utilities; and to establish entertainment areas.
