Gardening in winter seems to trouble a lot of people, but it needn’t be so. Here we share some direction to help your cause, and prepare for a beautiful summer garden.
Looking after a garden is an ongoing affair and like any relationship, it really does take regular and ongoing maintenance, especially at this time of the year. With all the rain, weeds grow faster than the plants so generally speaking every plant in your garden needs to be cared for specifically.
The idea was to create a succulent garden that would be water wise and low maintenance, whilst at the same time incorporating the aesthetics of a “Karoo Padstal” in look and feel – the type of vibe that they hoped to bring to the North Coast.
The service of composting can be thrown around in the garden services industry as an optional or unnecessary procedure but we see composting as a vital and essential service in every garden. This blog explains the procedure, benefits, and best timing for composting your garden beds.
Even if you’re an expert gardener, you might not have the time or energy to invest in creating the perfect outdoor space. You might have thought about hiring a professional landscaping company but worried that it would be too expensive or require too much input – input you simply don’t have the time to give.
Don’t despair – the opposite is actually true! Hire the right landscaping company and you will be enjoying your new garden sooner than you think for less than you think.
While gravel and stone are popular coverings for modern gardens, especially those with a smaller space, few things can replace a well-maintained lawn. This fresh, green covering can add life and beauty to your garden, encourage bird and animal life, and act as a green carpet on which to play games or lounge about with your family.
Winter in KZN can be harsh and it’s a good idea to give your garden a little extra attention in the coming months. You don’t want to lose all the hard work you’ve put in so far!
A vertical garden is a fantastic way to bring the natural world into your home, especially if you are trying to maximise a small outdoor space. They’re relatively easy to maintain, water-wise, and can offer you a creative outlet for your garden ideas.
Already have a vertical garden but feel a bit bored with the look and feel, or feel it needs a complete overhaul?
With more options that traditional in-the- ground gardens, vertical gardens involve creatively growing plants on a structure, using both the vertical and horizontal visual planes. Water wise, low maintenance, and beautiful, vertical gardens are great for transforming small spaces or empty outdoor zones. All you need is a blank wall or bare fence and some creative planning.
Even if you’re a seasoned gardener, creating and maintaining a beautiful garden can be a daunting task and there will be times you need professional help. You might consider hiring a garden service or landscaper. Both these professionals will have horticultural knowledge and be involved in creating and maintaining functional, beautiful outdoor spaces but they have their differences.
