From concept to completion, we guide you through each stage of the process — including design, installation, and ongoing garden care through our sister company, https://rentagardener.co.za/, ensuring your outdoor space thrives throughout the seasons.

Once your design is approved, our skilled installation team brings your vision to life with expert workmanship and quality materials.

When is the Best Time to Landscape Your Garden?

Autumn and winter months are the ideal seasons to begin landscaping in South Africa. While most plants appear dormant during colder months, their root systems continue to grow — giving them a strong foundation before spring arrives.

Benefits of autumn and winter planting:

🌱 Stronger root development
💧 Better use of seasonal rainfall
🌿 Faster and healthier spring growth
🌍 Reduced soil erosion
💪 More resilient, established plants by summer

Plant in winter, enjoy in spring — it’s that simple.

How Much Should I Budget for Landscaping?

Your landscaping investment depends on your property value and how quickly you want a lush, established garden.

As a guideline:
🏡 Property value: R1 million
💰 Recommended budget:

• R50 000 (±5%) for younger plants and gradual growth

• R100 000 (±10%) for larger, mature plants and instant impact

These estimates cover plants and lawn only and exclude pots, trellises, water features, paving, or additional hardscape elements.

Landscaping is one of the few home improvements that adds aesthetic appeal, lifestyle value, and long-term financial return.
