Kingfisher Landscaping was founded by Edrich (F.J) Badenhorst in 1997. The company was joined by Frans (F.H) Badenhorst in 1998. Liesbeth (M.E) Badenhorst and Chris Lamprecht joined in 1999. Since then the company has grown into one of South Africa’s leading landscaping companies. Up to date Kingfisher Landscaping has successfully completed numerous projects throughout South Africa and has also done several international projects. Throughout the years the company has enjoyed phenomenal growth and success. Kingfisher Landscaping changed the face of landscaping in South Africa by always creating trend setting styles and designs. After 10 years of rapid growth, Kingfisher Landscaping was ready to take the next big step and was sold to Badec Bros Landscaping (Pty) Ltd. Badec Bros Landscaping (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2006 by F.J Badenhorst, F.H Badenhorst, M.E Badenhorst and C Lamprecht. Since then the company has acquired Kingfisher Irrigation cc.

You are not only limited to attracting butterflies and birds to your garden.  You can also creating an inviting habitat for our indigenous old world monkey, the Lesser Bushbaby (Galago moholi).

The presence of these cute, furry and saucer-eyed nocturnal mammals will only enhance the quality of your outdoor living area.

The first thing to consider when planning on inviting bushbabies to your garden is your pets.  If you have dogs or cats, it might not be such a good idea, as you might be luring the bushbabies to a certain death.

Seeing as these little nocturnal pro-simians are indigenous, you will need to plant indigenous plants in your garden to create the perfect environment for them.  Take into consideration what they need in terms of food, water, nesting and safety.  I suggest you conduct intensive research on these tiny furry creatures to be able to ascertain what their needs will be.

Firstly, bushbabies are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in trees.  Therefore you will have to plant some large trees in your garden.  They are omnivorous and eat tree gum – from acacia trees – flowers, fruits and insects, such as moths, beetles, butterflies, grasshoppers and even small reptiles, such as lizards.   They are not dependant on water, but it would be a wise idea to provide a safe watering spot for them in your garden.

You can entice them to stay and breed in your garden, by providing a nesting log or box for them.  In nature, they will nest in the hollow of a tree.  Bushbabies normally give birth to one or two offspring and sometimes even up to three babies.

Finally, please keep in mind that these animals are wild and you should not try to keep them as pets.  Be satisfied with providing a habitat for them in your garden, where they can exist in peace and are free to roam as they want.

Perhaps the most well known landscape gardens were those designed by ‘Capability’ Brown in England in the eighteenth century, even though the term itself was not used in those days. The term enjoyed popularity in the nineteenth century when it was associated with the classical style of serpentine curves and clumps that had started to become unfashionable. Only in the last fifty or so years has the term become associated with contract gardeners. There are, of course, plenty of examples of landscape gardens that survive today, for example the Gardens of the Palace of Versailles.

Both residential and non-residential gardens need good designing to make them look attractive, and a well-designed garden can add immense value, both aesthetically and practically, to a property. For centuries, one of the most popular things to do around one’s home has been to create a garden. Gardens have been filled with flowers, plants and vegetables, and have provided enjoyment and sustenance for the homeowner for many years. Landscape gardens go one step further, transforming a seemingly haphazard collection of flora into a work of art. Landscape gardens are planned meticulously before being constructed, and take into account many factors such as the architectural style of your home, the amount and direction of sunlight, how much privacy you want and, most important the practical considerations such as the soil type and quality, drainage considerations, whether to provide for the needs of animals or children and any special factors you may specifically want such as entertainment areas or water features.

The landscaping experts at Kingfisher Landscaping design and implement exceptional and beautiful gardens in a professional manner.  We pride ourselves in providing our clients with excellent, efficient and comprehensive service.  We offer all the products and services associated with creating a peaceful, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space which will complement the style of your home and in which you can relax.
