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.

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.
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.

Gabion plant cages are yet another range of exciting products, created by our sister company, Badec Bros Deco.
Our creative in-house décor company designs and manufactures trendy gabion plant cages from 30mm x 3mm angle iron, which is welded together to ensure a strong frame. Then we weld strong, steel mesh onto the frame to create the shape of the plant cage.
Once the hollow plant cage structure has been manufactured, we install it on site and plant it with a topiary plant, such as a brush cherry (syzigium paniculatum) or a creeper, such as a star jasmine.
We can powder coat your gabion plant cages, or we can finish them in a mild steel finish or a rusted finish.
Our powder coating is SABS approved.

Our sister companies, Badec Bros Deco and Badec Bros Wooden Decking created a playful and distinctive jungle gym for a client. The main frame and body of the jungle gym was constructed out of wood, and the walls of the “tree house” were created by sliding colourful plexiglas panels into the frame.
Plexiglas, or acrylic glass, is light and can withstand the onslaught of sun, rain, sleet and snow, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is a thermoplastic and often substitutes glass, because it handles effortlessly and can be moulded or laser-cut into various different shapes and sizes.
Plexiglas panels, available in more vibrant colours than you can imagine, are also available as an exciting new finish on our designer Cubedec pot range. The panels can be slid into the mild steel frame – the pot skeleton, if you like. Should you become bored with the original colour you initially selected, you can always order panels in another colour! This finish is, therefore, the most versatile of all.
