You should carefully consider the selection of plants for your garden, in order to ensure that you do not plant invasive alien plants. These are plants that are not indigenous to South Africa. They tend to grow faster than our indigenous plants and can easily take over. They also take up precious water, nutrients and light which is more needed by our native plants.

Many of us have invasive exotic plants in our gardens, such as lantana, pipe grass, cat’s claw creepers, privets (ligustrum robustum privet), water hyacinths and wattle, jacaranda, pine and seringa trees. Rather opt for indigenous plants in your garden.

Indigenous gardens are not only less expensive, water wise, hardy and proudly South African, but also very versatile. You have thousands of indigenous plants to choose from, which means you can design your garden in a variety of styles, ranging from tropical to bushveld. Another advantage to indigenous gardens is that you will attract birds, insects and animals to your garden; creating your very own ecosystem in your backyard. You will also be contributing to the preservation of our indigenous plants.

Typical indigenous plants that we use include tree aloes, cape aloes, marlothii aloes, honey suckle, clivias, agapanthus, arum lilies, bulbines, wild garlic, acacia trees, olive trees, white stinkwood trees, and indigenous grasses, such as three awn grasses, thatching grass, buffalo grass, broad-leaved turpentine grass, bristle grass, Natal red top grass, red grass and fountain grass.

Our designing principles

For the past few years South African interior decorating, fashions and lifestyles have changed dramatically. With the advent of the internet and the growth of the global village people from all over the world are learning from each other and it isn’t strange to see a Balinese garden in the middle of a Johannesburg suburb. Trends for gardens from all over the world have also changed and many people want a modern garden design when they are renovating their gardens.

One of the buzzwords, and also a very important lifestyle change many people have embraced is that of being ‘green’. The world is in grave danger if people don’t change their lifestyle to take the planet into account. One such way you can incorporate this into your lifestyle and in your modern garden design is by having an indigenous garden. By planting indigenous plants you contribute to the planet by reducing your water consumption as plants endemic to South Africa uses less water to flourish.

But going ‘green’ doesn’t mean you have to have a boring garden. Fusion is another buzzword that can bring about great designs to the man on the street. You can have a minimalist garden with a water feature while still only having indigenous plants.

At Kingfisher Landscaping (Badec Bros Landscaping) we will help you to bring all your designs to life, while still caring for the environment. Our team of experts will help you to design a garden that suits your lifestyle. Our services also include installing irrigation systems that are environmentally friendly. One of the most environmentally friendly methods of irrigation is drip irrigation. Through this you don’t waste any water as it goes straight into the soil.
