Gardens for every kind of home
Residential projects range from a small courtyard to a full property. Common requests include:
- a complete garden for a newly built home
- a front garden that improves the street view and entrance
- a family lawn with play space and shade
- low-maintenance townhouse gardens with paving and containers
- entertainment areas with paving, seating and planting
- estate gardens that follow HOA design guidelines
One team from plan to upkeep
Many homeowners deal with a designer, a paving contractor, an irrigation installer and a garden service separately. We can handle design, installation and maintenance together, so the people looking after your garden understand how it was built.
Planning around budget
Most households have a budget in mind, and it helps to share it early. It lets us suggest where to spend, for example on soil preparation and irrigation that protect everything else, and where to save, for example by using smaller plants that grow in. Larger projects can be built in phases from one plan. Our guide to what affects landscaping costs in Pretoria explains the main factors.
Making a small garden work harder
Townhouse and cluster gardens are often small, overlooked and partly shaded by walls. A few principles help: keep the layout simple, use one or two paving materials rather than many, plant in layers from groundcovers to small trees for depth, and screen the boundaries with planting rather than more walls. Raised beds and containers bring plants to eye level and are easy to water with a drip line.
In small spaces it often pays to replace a struggling lawn with paving or decorative stone and spend the savings on better plants.

Residential Landscaping for Pretoria conditions
Many Pretoria homes are in security estates and complexes with rules about plant choice, boundary planting, paving and working hours. Others are older properties with mature trees, established roots and uneven levels. We plan around both, and around the city's summer thunderstorms, which make drainage and run-off a real design question.
