This service is included in the previous sections but we do offer this as a stand alone service. In many cases the client will want to do the planting themselves. We will supply you with a plant list specially prepared for your garden with a quote per plant. The plants ( and fertilizers etc ) will then be delivered to your site. We are also available to help you lay them out if you need a hand.

Plot clearing and earthworks

If you have a piece of vacant land or your dream plot and you are planning a building, the chances are you will have spent a few hours walking around or sitting at a view point considering how to do it. Most folk don't realise how the earth has to be moved around in order to fit the building in, and can end up dismayed once the bulldozers arrive - seeing their bit of paradise being turned up side down. Once plans have been approved we are available to do the clearing of the land and supervising the earthworks - SENSITIVELY. We start by removing unviable plants, transplant viable plants where possible and begin cutting and / or filling to engineers / architects specifications. This stage is where we can save you cash........ So often we are called in once the house is built and access has been cut off, rocks and plants stolen or destroyed and the usual........your topsoil has been used to back fill the foundation. We are also available to simply supervise this aspect of the project . 

We don't get involved in the design and installation of the sprinkles, but rather make use of our approved installers who are experts in this field. Depending on your needs, we can arrange a few quotes on your behalf from different suppliers with great track records and fall in line with our no hassle ethic. In most cases we will insist on some form of irrigation in order to be able to guarantee our work.

Stonework has always been the foundation of our business. In the early nineties our company was one of the pioneers in the revival of this construction method. From simple stone pathways to engineered retaining walls our stone masons are long experienced in this field. We are very fussy about where our stone is sourced and will never remove it from the wild. 

Water Features

There is no better way to complete the landscape than introducing water. From small bucket sized ponds to million liter dams, we can assist. We make use of a variety of waterproofing systems depending on the use of the dam. Often with properties on mountain slopes, natural water is encountered when cutting a platform for the building. Instead of draining the water away we have successfully used this water in attractive features that double up as irrigation storage. before simply draining it away

In many cases the local authority will require an environmental plan or impact assessments before passing building plans. Our services here include mapping and listing viable and indigenous plants / rocks, compiling of environmental impact assessments, planning and consultation. 

Fynbos rehabilitation

With over a decade of experience in working on Table Mountain with the indigenous flora,  we've discovered a few tricks in getting this sometimes difficult plant group to grow. In many areas the invasive alien plants have taken over. With careful clearing and planning the area can be rehabilitated to its former glory. For more information about fynbos, click here.
