At the entrance to this magnificent garden, we built a sloping water feature, lined with chunky arrabella rock, which cascades into the Koi pond on the lowest level. Next to the water feature, we constructed wooden decking steps from Seligna wood, which leads the visitor over the Koi pond and around the corner toward the main entertainment area of this modern home. Lush, tropical bamboo palms, cycas revolutas, Dicksonia antarctica ferns and varigated grass were planted to frame the hard, neat lines of the deck and Koi pond, and to enhance the tropical theme of the garden.
To enliven the dreary wall next to the garage in the drive-way, we designed and installed a vibrant mosaic, spread over three horizontal panels measuring 2 meters by 1,5 meters each.

We bordered the lawn with double cobble-edging and filled it with arrabella rock to define both the beds in the corners closest to the patio, as well as, the lawn area. Seligna decking was installed to enlarge the entertainment area and the colour of the decking perfectly complements the wooden door and window frames of this elegant home. By positioning bamboo palms in the corner beds, we provided height and alleviated the linear theme by planting dark green murraya exotica and yellow-leafed sheena’s gold shrubs. We also installed garden lighting among the shrubs in the beds, and in the actual decking to illuminate this gorgeous garden at night.

The entire swimming pool was edged in with Seligna decking, to create a tidy, compact appearance. We also built an elongated Seligna flower box, which has a secondary purpose as a comfortable bench. We filled it with verdant bamboo to soften the periphery of this part of the garden. At the furthest end of this area, we once again bordered the lawn with linear double cobble-edging, filled with chunky arrabella rock and planted bamboo palms for height and luxuriant murraya exotica and sheena’s gold shrubs to augment the over-all tropical effect.
In this exquisite shaded back garden, we created an inviting seating area by constructing a Seligna pergola over the Seligna decking. Rough-edged stepping stones, interlinked with lumpy arrabella rock extends this peaceful zone. To augment the serene atmosphere we constructed a sandstone-clad water feature and placed a wooden bench close to the lush plant beds against the boundary wall. Right against the wall we planted Viburnum shrubs, which will eventually grow to the same height as the boundary wall. One will then be able to trim it into a profuse hedge. Next we planted golden goddess arum lilies and varigated grasses. In the 1m² planters, we planted brumeliads, which bring in a splash of colour with their red leaves. Closer to the pergola, we planted a few more dicksonia antarctica ferns.

We wrapped the entire house with walkways. At each door leading to the garden, we constructed a Seligna deck landing. Walkways, laid out with double cobble-edging and filled with rough-edged sandstone stepping stones and interlinked with chunky arrabella rock leads the garden stroller from one deck landing to the next, right around the house.
In this section of the garden, we built a sandstone-clad water feature with the stainless steel water spout mounted in the red-tiled feature wall. The red tiles bring in a sparkle of colour to this green, tropical garden.
Against the wall, we planted philledendron xanadu’s and proceeded with the planting of nandina pygmaea’s, varigated grass and mondo grass in straight modern lines, from the higher plants in the back to the lower plants in the front. A solitary sandstone bench in the plant bed invites one to sit down and relax in the cool shade. At night, the garden lights will illuminate this area beautifully.
We also installed the entire irrigation system for this garden, which will save the owners a lot of time in watering their garden.
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.

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.
