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.

The ingenious specialists of Kingfisher Landscaping created this slick garden, reminiscent of a London apartment garden.  This stylish home is enclosed by the ethereal garden, which harmonizes perfectly with the fashionable architectural style. 

Kingfisher Landscaping utilized the beautiful established oak tree as a prominent feature, around which the rest of the garden was arranged.  Our experienced team of landscapers constructed an unpretentious square concrete water feature, which enhances the overall tranquil mood of this exterior refuge and surrounded it with variegated abelias (abelia grandiflora).  Neat concrete screed slabs, which were cast on site, function as both neat pathways, as well as clean, linear rows, which comprise the hardscaping features in this garden design.  All of the cement features were finished in an aged concrete look. 

Lush beds of sweet-smelling lavender were planted to soften the yellow walls.  Dwarf eugenias (syzygium paniculatum) were planted in gabion plant cages to act as points of focal interest on the perimeter of the garden.  The professional landscaping team also planted dwarf buxus into square pots and common orange jasmines (murraya exotica), which bear white, perfumed flowers, in linear plant beds.  Topiaried Indian laurel fig trees (ficus nitida) were planted against the boundary wall to grow into a dense top-hedge. 

 A neat balau wooden deck, with an aged appearance, was constructed around the swimming pool by the Kingfisher Landscaping connoisseurs.  Finally, we planted all seasons evergreen instant lawn, which will flourish in the ample shade cast by the giant old oak tree.

The end result is a serene landscape in which the homeowners can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday city living.

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.

What sort of benefits or assistance do you expect to get from a landscaping service. Well, that’s going to depend on the company you contact. There are some companies who claim to offer landscape services and when push comes to a shove, all they are actually offering is to cut your grass, tidy up leaves and weed the garden. There are, of course, plenty of services that a good professional company can offer. One of those landscaping services is consultancy. Often, property owners do not know exactly how they want their garden to look like. Sometimes, they do not even know what plants to grow! To solve these problems, one can hire landscape consultants to advise on what to do. Normally, the consultants arrange a visit to the property to observe. After a few days, they can visit the owner and submit to him some recommendations that may include a new garden layout design.

Other landscaping services include removing unwanted weeds, shrubs, trees and other vegetation, site clearance, removal of old fences, pathways, buildings and concrete. Hardscaping includes rockery works, pond excavation and construction, patio and terrace construction, pathway and driveway layout and fence layout. This service also aids in the construction of garden buildings such as pagodas, sheds and pump stations. Garden landscaping service also includes plant care. The contractor regularly visits a property to take care of the plants. Maintenance of the plants usually involves trimming and pruning, weed and pest control and irrigation.
