Rock Roses (echeveria elegans), also known as Mexican Roses are perfect feature plants to decorate our unique Cubedec pots, manufactured by our in-house décor company, Badec Bros Deco. 

These plump, grey succulents are usually planted as ground covers, but contrast beautifully with the mild steel pots.  They are perennial and flourish both outdoors and indoors.  The leaves are grey to green in colour and overlap one another.  Mexican Roses have pink, yellow and red flowers during spring and autumn.

Pot – or container – gardening is a very low-maintenance way of creating a garden and is also ideal for small areas.  Another advantage to pot gardening is that you can bring the outdoors indoors.

An informal garden can be defined as “organized chaos”.  These gardens are inclined to be much more natural and don’t follow rigid design lines.  Plant lines and borders are more natural and fluid.  Nature is pretty much left to take its course.

Plants typically used in an informal garden include a variety of trees, shrubs, creepers, perennial plants, ground covers, decorative grasses, et cetera.  These are planted en masse. 

Hard landscaping features suitable for an informal garden include understated water features, ponds, pathways, garden benches, sculptures, pots, pergolas and trellises.

Our in-house exterior décor company, Badec Bros Deco can design and manufacture a wide selection of trendy décor pieces for your garden; ranging from stylish pots, water features, sculptures, customized garden gates, trellises, pergolas, sculptures and the like.

Ultimately, the garden design of an informal garden should harmonize with the architectural style of the home and with the tastes of the home owner.

A tropical garden offers a holiday atmosphere and a sense of diversion from the everyday hustle and bustle.  Bold plants, with large leaves and colourful flowers, planted in lush profusion, take the home owner on an aesthetic journey of relaxation.  A tinkling water feature and wooden decking can further enhance this vacation mood.

You will have to take into consideration the species and amounts of tropical plants, which you would like to plant in your tropical garden.  With tropical plants being so dramatic, you can run the risk of crowding your garden, which will create the opposite to a relaxed atmosphere!  Choose your plant varieties and planting strategies carefully.  Select a few feature plants, which should be planted tactically, and surround them with less audacious plants, such as ornamental grasses or ground covers.

Hard landscaping, such as cobble lines, stepping stones and exterior décor pieces, such as pots, trellises, pergolas, sculptures, feature walls and other sculptural elements will augment the overall tropical ambience.  Our in-house décor company, Badec Bros Deco, can supply you with any type of trendy exterior décor.  

Typical tropical plants that we use include a variety of palms, ferns, bamboo, tree ferns, cycads, frangipani, hibiscus, bougainvillea and the like.

The one great thing about using indigenous plants for landscaping is that you know before they have even been planted that they should thrive. South Africa has some rare and beautiful indigenous plants ranging from ground covers, small, medium and large shrubs and a selection of many trees, and you’ll find many species suitable for you’re particular region stocked at your local nurseries, and should also find a wide variety of bulbs, grasses and succulents that are suitable for landscaping.

Many landscapers such as ourselves can design and create indigenous garden landscaping to suit your environment and your particular requirements, and will supply the plants, materials and labour. Many regions of the country suffer from harsh weather conditions for much of the year, and this is one of the reasons why indigenous landscaping can be so successful where a garden using non-native plants either fails or needs a lot of upkeep. Whether you’re thinking of using local or foreign plants in your new garden, we will be able to give you excellent advice on how to use them in a low-maintenance, water-wise garden for you that will survive our harsh weather. There are always shortcuts that can be used depending on the regional conditions applicable in your particular case. If you like colour we can use annuals – this means they will return year after year in the same splendid beauty and at the same time give you a time saving way of having the garden in bloom throughout the season.
