Subtropical Garden & Pool Services cc landscape design and installation involves designing and constructing outdoor spaces, integrating both hardscape (patios, walkways, etc.) and softscape (plants, lawns, etc.) elements to enhance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. This process typically includes design, construction, and ongoing maintenance with our sister company – https://rentagardener.co.za/garden-maintenance-services/ 

We offer 3D landscape designs which involves using specialized software to create a virtual, three-dimensional representation of a landscape project before any construction begins. This allows homeowners to visualize their outdoor space, experiment with different designs, and make informed decisions about layout, materials, and plantings. Installation follows the finalized 3D design, bringing the virtual plan to life. 

When is the best time of the year to landscape my garden?

Autumn and Winter months are the best time of the year to start planning your next Spring and Summer garden. Although most plants will go dormant during winter months, the roots are still actively growing and getting establishing every day. This will give the new plants the advantage over plants planted in Spring and Summer to absorb the first and following rain fall to their maximum benefit. Very little to no soil erosion will take place and the roots will be ready to feed the plants immediately.

How much money should I spend on landscaping my garden?

Take the value of your property into account, as well as how quickly you want an established garden. If for example your property is worth R1 million, we suggest that you spend between R50 000 (5% for small plants) and R100 000 (10% for larger plants) on landscaping your garden. These prices do not include any pots, trellises, water feature or any other hard landscaping material – only plants and lawn.
