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. 

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 (ophiopogon jaburan vittatus), wild garlic (tulbaghia violacea), bulbines (bulbine frutescens), mountain aloe (aloe marlothii) and strelitzia (strelitzia reginae).  The beds were then bordered with cobble edging and arabella rock (sandstone dump rock).  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.

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 (cyperus papyrus), wild garlic (tulbaghia violacea) and bulbines (bulbine frutescens) swathes the water feature in feathery profusion. 

Along one border line, Kingfisher Landscaping planted cape aloes (aloe ferox) in a bed of arabella rock, with a wall of mountain aloes (aloe marlothii) behind it.  Textured layers of varigated grasses (ophiopogon jaburan variegata), evergold carex grass (carex oshimensis), and cape thatching reed (chondropetalum tectorum) form a pleasing backdrop to this eye-catching area. 

Raised circular planters were constructed next to the swimming pool and planted with tree aloes (aloe bainesii), which act as striking feature plants.  A flourishing bed of jaburan grass (ophiopogon jaburan vittatus) was planted around the planters, to soften the austere quality of the hard landscaping in this zone. 

The end result is a picturesque landscape which serves as a tranquil refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday city living.

There is a growing fashion in landscape design for the use of hard surfaces and structural features that is in tune with today’s shift away from plants being the main feature of a garden. This is a trend that is encouraged by the popular media while glossy magazines and garden renovation shows on television zealously endorse urban gardens of hard landscape design where beforehand they sanctioned colourful gardens adorned with flowers. This trend has been brought about by modern social and lifestyle changes that have accompanied high density and fast paced urban living. The change has also been influenced by the modern trend towards a Feng Shui lifestyle.

As today’s homeowners become more and more busy and find themselves in homes with less outdoor living space in which to express themselves, they have a tendency to be drawn towards more purposeful and resourceful landscape designs that are easier to look after and more geared towards city living. The implications of this phenomenon in landscape design has been the cause of some concern in the upper echelons of landscaping, where there is apprehension about where this trend will take us, and whether we have seen the last of the green garden. Renaissance and Modernist schools of landscaping always relied on a coalescent mixture of built features alongside the traditional English floral garden. There are plenty of historic examples to back this up, and gardens that include a strong built component tend to be more vociferous and meaningful than their traditional counterparts.
